Need a shop recommendation for Roadster Speaker/Sub replacement

[ekotysh]

Hello, I have a Roadster Sport 2.0 (#502) and was wondering if anyone knows of a good audio shop they could recommend to do work on replacing the stock speakers and the subwoofer with something better. I would love to find a shop that has worked on roadsters before and people had a good experience. Thank you!

Work with Al & Ed's out of Holllywood, California. They have performed many roadster interior and speaker upgrades.

Thanks ibcs. I should've mentioned, I live in Marin (Sausalito, CA), so I would prefer something closeby if possible, or maybe in/around the Silicon Valley. Thanks again

While they are more body shops rather than audio, Chilton Auto Body in San Carlos knows the Roadster through and through. They did significant body work on my car and I'm pleased. Someone on this site I think mentioned lotus repair san jose also for Roadster work. They could probably do the work or refer you to a place which has done the audio work.

Replacing the dash speaker is easy. Did it myself, page on the wiki. Others it would be good for people to post more info.

Walnut Creek Customs did mine - Walnut Creek Customs | The Premier Car Customizers of Northern California

Joe at Bay Area Details also does his work there (used to be in Orinda)

Thank you for all your recommendations. I will give some of these shops a call and see what they say.

Any recommendations for audio work or other modifications of a 2.0 Roadster in Southern New Jersey or Philadelphia area?

If I had to do it over again, I'd try the Rockford Fosgate speakers recommended by heychubs in post #30:
No Brainer 4" drop-in speaker upgrade phenomenon

If you do need to replace the sub, see my photo in post #29 hat shows access from the left rear wheel well.

If you decide to upgrade the amp, make sure they disconnect the one above the passenger footwell. My installer hid an amp in the passenger footwell floor area.

I also installed fabric wheel liners and still cannot hear the music on the freeway with the top off.
