Alarm store in IL

Hi, I was wondering what is a good alarm store in IL, that is closer to chicago. It would be best if they are clifford certified, but it doesn't matter as long as they did a good job. So if you know of some places, can you share the experiences. Thanks

I think The Sound Experience does pretty good work around chicago..there's a couple locations, all I know is the one down Harlem Ave. Try searching for the Sound Experience on google.

Sound Experience is out of business. I would know...My lawyer sent the Illinois State Attorney General after them during my lawsuit against the company and we had them investigated for federal offenses and subsequently had them closed for MANY reasons. I was the Assistant manager of one of their locations, including being a warehouse manager and an installation manager for them over the course of 9 years.

Someone DID come up and buy the failing company out and it is now called Sound X, but they are still having issues with vendors because of the name and the only location that is left is the same address of the previous company.

If you go...make sure you check the product they put it. 99% of the time I was forced to sell the lower end DEI products that only had a 1 year warranty rather then the lifetime ones because they couldn't pay the bills...and their employees
