Drive to Cartoys, give stereo components to tech, wait x amount of days and pick up Miata with new, glorious sound system without the stress of potentially screwing it all up myself. Does that sound feasible?
I wash windows and teach people to balance on one hand. This electronic technomagic-wizardry is beyond me...

You’d trust a cartoys tech to install this in your car?

I’ve never dealt with them, or heard much about them... So... I’d trust them more than I’d trust myself. That’s not saying much though

Ehh, just watch a few YouTube videos and you’ll be fine. That’s probably what they do at cartoys.

Though I cannot pinpoint an experience with CarToys as I’ve never used them, I have installed my own head unit and speakers. I’ve also helped a few friends with wiring harnesses for theirs.
I’ve also seen way, way too many automotive audio shops that just cut off the factory wire connector and butt splice connector everything together. Makes pulling the unit to diagnose problems miserable plus updating it in the future or replacing a damaged/stolen unit becomes extra difficult.
If you’re decent with making a few wiring connections and don’t mind routing wires, I’d encourage you to do some research and then consider taking a stab at it. No harm in taking it to a professional- just make sure it’s being done correctly.

The bellevue cartoys on ne 20th did a clean job installing an amp in my trunk for me last year. And an inline amp in my old accord too.

Haha fair enough. Part of it is the custom fab work I need to get the head unit where I want it, and brackets to get the amp where the passenger airbag was. I found a car audio shop that specializes in high end audiophile grade systems.... But the owner has two Miatas! I’m stopping by this week to see what a install would run me (and maybe a few other mods while I’m there)
