Eastside (Bellevue/Kirkland/Redmond) detector/speaker installer?

Seriously considering getting the BAVSound speaker upgrade. Yes, I know they claim anyone can install these, but I'm willing to pay someone who knows what they are doing!

Can anyone recommend a reputable east side (Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond) installer for this that won't gouge me? For a pro, this shouldn't take more than 2 hours, and I would be supplying the speakers.

Also considering having an Escort 9500ci detector/jammer installed in the near future. (I just can't control my right foot.) It would be nice to find a good shop that could quote both jobs.

Appreciate the input, and thanks!

Benchmark Motoring in Bellevue is the best around. Their install of the Passport is beyond clean, it looks factory.

Do you have photos of how your Passport looks installed?

I've gone back and forth on getting a detector, not sure if it'll actually save me from anything but if the installation is clean then it's less of a big deal.

do you have the harmon kardon or regular audio? Do you think Bav is much better than Harmon Kardon? Are you going to put any dynamat (etc.) in the doors, fender wells, under back seat, rear deck). That might also help the sound while driving and add some weight.

I saw some of their work at the Calgary Auto Show (local installer uses Benchmark to fabricate some of the parts to conceal the control unit).

Agree.

Beyond clean. Ridiculous actually.

I have done business with Benchmark since before that name (all the way back into the late 90's). Someone on here has a sakir M4 with the escort and that install is by far the best I have ever seen.
