Mobile Electronics Magazine: Top 50 Retailers and Top 100 Installers

Filed under: Car Audio



Mobile Electronics Magazine just announced their top 50 retailers and top 100 installers in the United States. The list is made of "the stores and installers that our industry's reps and manufacturer sales personnel felt were prime examples of professionalism, service and expertise."

To add to the honor of being selected, Harman International is sponsoring the top 50 retailers while Parrot, makers of many Bluetooth-enabled products, is sponsoring the top 100 installers in ME Mag's "The 30-Day Sound-Off", which gives everyone in the industry a chance to vote for their favorite stores and installers.

Full list after the jump.

Take a look at the list and see if you recognize any names. If you're
looking for a good installer or retailer to go through, this list is a
good starting point for you. If you're an ME Mag subscriber, you'll see
this list in the November edition.
