Well,

I took Ryan up on his offer of a great deal and stopped by Chronic today to see what they had. Very nice visit, no pressure sales at all, he took the time to explain each option to both me and my wife and then walked away and let us decide on exactly what we wanted.

Sorry, my digital camera is toast so no photos of my setup, but here is what I now have in the FHC.

Thank you very much Ryan for the great customer service (and price!). Now hurry up and buy your own damn xB so you can join the family.

 

Robert it was a pleasure to help you and your wife out. Its an honor to have a small spot on your tribute scion.

Robert was a great customer, very polite, and a pleasure to have around the shop, even helped me make a sale on some MTX subs, which the customer was very stoked on after we installed them, with his new mtx components.

If every customer was like you Robert, I would live a happy life

Nobody wants to comment on the sexy guy on the screen?

 

Uh..I think no guy is sexy. But that is one sexy radio though

Ryan seems like a good guy. Sounds like a really nice setup.
