I was in Gainesville having a tow package installed on my vehicle. After having already called…read morearound back home and being completely underwhelmed by equipment choices and the not so good customer service side of things at both the audio installer shops locally, I thought I'd take a shot and ask the Uhaul tech if there was a good audio install shop he'd recommend. He quickly replied Sound Depot and got me the phone number and address for them. Which I thought was not only nice of him but was above and beyond the norm these days. So I left Uhaul and headed over to meet the guys at SD. Logan greeted me at the door, asked me a few questions and promptly started demo-ing all of their gear. We talked about types of music I listened to and he downloaded some Jazz playlists because I said the best mixed and mastered music sonically is Jazz. We went through all of the speakers in the main display setup and a couple of the brands sounded pretty good but he could tell I wasn't hearing what I wanted yet. So Logan points me to the next display setup which was their more high end speakers. It was kinda hidden off to the side(Focal Speakers). Immediately I was hearing what I wanted. The natural reproduction of the music no boosted highs or lows and warm full spectrum mids. So he set me up a quote for the audio gear and install as well as the installation of sound dampening panels for all 4 doors. Next was the install side of things Omar was the tech who did the work. He was very professional, knowledgeable and dedicated to his work as was Logan. He asked all the important questions and proceeded to begin the install. Omar,Logan and all of the guys at SD are exceedingly friendly and knowledgeable. Do your self a favor, if you're a music junkie like me, looking to upgrade your auto sound system and you live close enough to make it feasible to travel to G'ville, go see the guys at Sound Depot. I know I'll be taking my girlfriend's car there as well *side-note* I've been in their shop a couple of times since and Jazz was playing on the their systems!!

Stay away from these guys! My car went in there via a sub from another car repair place to have a…read moreradio put in. I was quoted a couple hundred dollars me supplying the radio and the speakers being in the car. get a call from the install/walk up the bill rip off, let's just call him Chris, who informed me that they need to know what rear speakers I would like to use. When I informed them, the speakers were in the car, small 4-8 ohm BOSES, They then said those were not adequate, and they would not install . I also had existing speakers in the doors of which they said were defective, and we're not. They from that point removed the door panels, which was a very involved projects, and when reinstalling them in the car, comes back to me with loose door panels as well as working speakers that came from the car and as well a window regulator on the passenger side that no longer works After he got done quoting for his new price over the quote amount and I asked him how much it was he informed me $960 plus I said unacceptable. He then said that's what I told them and they've got it recorded . once he went to review the recording he didn't have it recorded instead they ended up putting a pair of $99 speakers in that they charged me $300 for My favorite line from this guy was I have people who owned $5000 cars that install $13,000 sound systems... right there's enough to tell you you're dealing with a thief . Once he realized he wasn't going to screw me I had the pleasure of dealing with his boss who intern ended up getting $600 of my money for a simple $150 installation and admitting their imaginary recording of what I supposedly told him was not working and they did not have it. When I picked up the car from the outfit that was repairing it, and who took it to these people the Car came back to me with the antenna, which was an electric antenna brand new, not functional, as well as not plugged in and as well issues that exist with the one speaker where the window regulator was screwed up after their dismantling of the door to put in speakers that I didn't need. Don't be stupid. These people are rip offs!

Fast forward 3 weeks and my car battery is dead, tire sensor stays on, seat controls don't work, and my key fobs don't work. Took it to GM and they found that the audio "installation" completely fried my body control module, which controls a number of electrical components of the car. I just picked my car up from another reputable shop, and they couldn't believe what a terrible job had been done on my subwoofer installation. Long story short, $1,500 later to fix a job that should've been so easy to do right. Stay away from these guys if you want your car to continue working properly.
