I wanted to add my praise for Method Sound and it's owner Michael. After reading the reviews here and on CitySearch, I took my 08 Mini Cooper Clubman in because the stock stereo was sounding pretty crappy. Michael listened to the sound system, had some ideas (a number of options, not just one) and asked if I could leave the car for a morning so he could really design a good solution. His initial idea included an amplifier and sub woofer but was out of my budget. No problem. He proposed upgrading the speakers in the front of the car as a Phase 1 and then if I still wanted to upgrade to the amp and subs I could do that later.He stayed in contact with me as he said he would, through the entire process and the end result was stunning and under budget!
Michael is a craftsman. He obviously takes great pride in his work. It's apparent in everything from his shop which is as clean a shop as I've ever seen to the state of the car when he gives it back. He also knows sound and acoustics. My advice would be to go in and talk to him without any preconceived ideas of what you are going to do. The result will be superior. I'm going to post this same review at Yelp, please don't think that this is any kind of spam. I just want to make sure that others looking for a quality stereo installer in Orange County can find Method Sound.
