Well I dont know about Sam but Twistas H2 was done by a lame shop called Car Candy( HACK ARTIST NO LONGER IN BUSINESS ) and was featured in Car Audio and electronic then my buddy Jerry at Showtime Audio.net
totally glassed and motorized it up for him,check out their webpage, but enough of that our cars are not installer friendly as we all know and it is not about whose guy is the best it is about who can do it right .I think we all can benefit from helpful info from fellow L-brothers

Abt has a couple MCAP something-ma-jigger certified guys. I used to work there and would always shoot the poop with some of the audio guys. They def can hurt your pockets but do a GREAT job. Most of the Bull's Bears and other fellow celebs get their cars done there. ProSounds does alot of work but dont know of their quality. I would go with ABT. Very reputable place. Been in business for 246 years. Ok maybe not that long, I think a good 60 years or so.

Thanks got it done at Unitek in Lansing Il and it sounds sweet and smooth ,ABT is a very good shop indeed and they do primo work, Prosounds is hot garbage they are over priced and the quality is so-so . Uniteks number is (708)895-4390 and their address is17111 s. Torrence Ave , Lansing IL.
