Sound Waves

Really did a great job working on my car and was very thorough with helping me build my sound system. Couldn't be more satisfied with how it came out!

I decided to stop in and ended up speaking with Joe, who took the time to draw up an estimate tailored to what I was looking for. I just wanted to fill out the low end on my stock system. The estimate was a bit higher than I initially expected, but Joe walked me through it clearly and made sure everything matched my goals.

I went ahead with the install and had the Kicker added. Dropped the car off in the morning and had it back that same afternoon. Jose, who handled the install, was genuinely excited to show me his work, and it showed. He clearly takes pride in what he does and made me feel comfortable the whole way through. He also encouraged questions and explained everything as he went, which I really appreciated.

The setup in the back of the shop honestly gave me Pimp My Ride vibes in a good way. Sorry, Xzibit.

Jose placed the bass knob in the perfect spot, hidden but easy to reach, and the tune is spot on. It really brought the whole system to life. I’ve even caught myself thinking about going further with upgrades, but for now I’m more than happy with how it sounds.

If you’re looking for a professional install, I’d definitely recommend SoundWaves. As mentioned, they’re not the cheapest, but you truly get what you pay for. Thanks again to Joe and Jose for the solid work and great experience.

Sound Waves is going to keep me as a customer. They run their business in an admirable way. The service is friendly, informative, and at least with me, individual. They listened, took into account what I wanted and tailored their service. Installation was immaculate. The team is awesome in the shop. I finally have a sound system I wanted. And you know what was amazing? My car is intact. Nothing was damaged. No missing screws - my car was intact.

I had Sound Waves install a remote start, alarm system, and front dashcam with rear cam on my 2022 Kia Telluride, and the entire experience was smooth, professional, and honestly exceeded expectations. Sam was great to work with—he responded quickly to all my questions and was totally transparent about the process and what was included.

After the install, I noticed the steering wheel horn wasn’t working. I wasn’t sure if it had ever worked before (I had just purchased the vehicle), but I reached out just in case it was related. Sam got back to me right away, confirmed they hadn’t interfaced with the horn harness, but offered to check it out anyway.

They got me in quickly, looked everything over, and even though it wasn’t something they had touched, they found a loose connection and fixed it—no extra charge. That level of accountability and customer care is rare. I left feeling confident in their work and like I got every bit of value I paid for.

I’ll definitely keep them in mind for any future jobs and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

These guys are the best. Literally one of the best shops in the United States. Read full review below for details. I've worked with them a few times over the last 2 years. The first time I had them install Dynamat throughout my C43 AMG to help with rattles. Second time was this past month. They installed Focal Inside speakers into the same car. Replaced all 13 speakers in my car’s “Burmester” premium sound system as well as added more sound deadening material to help with some of the rattles and improve sound quality by removing vibration. Replacing the speakers with very high end speakers alone was not enough. Although there was a big improvement, the sound was still off. They were too bright and mid heavy. I called Focal to see if there was a way to dial down the brightness a little with the factory equalizer. They said they are designed to be more neutral and bright but most people need to get a separate dsp/amp to fix it since you don’t get enough control with the factory eq. They explained it the following way, which was also explained to me by the pros at Sound Waves. The car manufactures use very cheap speakers (even in premium systems), but compensate for their physical decencies by playing with the equalization of the amp to make it sound better. Once I replaced the speakers, I had a tuning deficiency from the factory amp that was compensating for the garbage speakers that used to be there. I told Focal where I had the work done and they said Sound Waves is one of only 15 shops in the country they recommend to people. There might be other shops that can install the speakers since they are designed to be plug and play, but only 15 shops that can tune it after and make it sound right. In the end Sound Waves installed a Helix V Twelve DSP/AMP and tuned it perfectly. I have 2 settings, driver and all, depending on if I have people in the car with me. I can add up to 10 sound profiles. The whole staff is very pleasant to work with. Rory is very helpful and answers all my questions when I call. Rory even picked up my car and took it to the shop for all the work to be done multiple times. I have small kids and it's hard for me to find time to do this. They made it happen. Sam and Joe, the owners, are very nice, easy to talk to, and answered my questions. I spent time in the shop with the other guys, including about 2 with Chad (the sound god who tunes the cars). Chad is friendly and personable. He spent the time with me to go over everything I needed/wanted to know about the car. He measured each speakers distance to my ear for the driver's setting in the DSP/amp. We listened to it to see if there was anything I wanted to modify, but honestly what he did was perfect. Sounds just like my high end system at home! I was worried about spending the money to do all this and then not be pleased with how it turned out. They exceeded my expectations. The sound is fantastic and the rattles are gone.
