    False trunk floor housing the subwoofers, amps, and DSP

    Late review for an install that Bing and his crew did in summer 2017: Simplicity in Sound handled the installation of the new sound system in my car (3-way front + 2 subwoofers + DSP). They worked within the budget that I specified, made all of my options very clear, and was able to preserve the head unit and all of its stock functionality (voice commands, volume buttons, etc.). I was especially impressed with the false floor they built into my trunk, which houses the subwoofers, amplifiers, and DSP. Its completely hidden away and I don't lose any trunk space. The sound quality was an infinite improvement over the stock system, and while the equipment and installation is pricy, it was more than worth it and I would gladly come back for another install. About a year after the install, I lost sound in the front speakers which Bing quickly diagnosed as a blown amp. Bing brought me in to have the replacement amp installed without any hassle and everything works great again. These folks provide exceptional customer service.

    So what can I say that hasn't been said already. The story starts like this. Buddy sends me a link to one of SIS builds. I'm simply blown away by the attention to detail. The following contact them. Set up an appointment. Put down the deposit and wait. I honestly was ready for it to be s long wait. As in 5-7 months. Bing contacts be ht little under two months. I breakdown what I have and what id like in my setup. He gives me a straight forward opinion of what is best in order to achieve my expectations. There is a little bit of shuffling, but the day arrives to drop off my car. Mind you I personally thought my car sounded above decent(boy was I wrong). As I wait "patiently" I contact Bing to ask him about upgrading my battery. He honest and direct and says its not needed. Mind you I was probably on the "lower" end of the installs he does. So nothing against his skills. I was just not expecting what I got. The outcome was flawless. A simple flush mounted 5 channel amp with a 10" subwoofer. Just the right amount of show I was looking for. Yet could all be covered it with a single panel. I wanted this upgrade to be fully active. So Jesse rewired everything as clean as can be. They meticulously dampened my back panel. The tweeters were molded to the dash. In summary. I got stuck in trafic on my way back. Could of cared less. Every song I heard, it was as if I had heard it for the first time. I was hesitant at first. In hindsight there was no reason at all. As many have said. Bing, Jesse and Joey(sldidnt have the pleassure to meet). Take they're installs to a whole new level. If you are truly looking for quality. There simply is no other option. My car is truly a rolling studio. I simply cannot say enough to thank SIS for helping me create visually and more importantly sonically the system of my dreams. If I'm lucky I wont break it by simply playing it so much.... : ) Update is needed: About 2 weeks after having issues with my install. In the sense of front channels cutting out. I assured myself it was a persistent problem before contacting Bing. As I aware these guys are constantly busy on project after project. Bing was more than responsive to my concern. Asking me specific questions to try and diagnosis the issue. The problem continued so Bing suggested I go in and habve it looked at. I was hesistant again due to taking up their time but he was more than happy to see how to solve my issue. Jesse went in literally ran through the wiring and made adjustments. This happened over 2 weeks ago. Since not a single issue. The willingness by Jesse and Bing to address my concern showed me these guys truly care about their work and go the extra mile to make sure things are to a customers satisfaction. The setup, sound and visuals of my install still bring a grin to my face. Thank you SIS.

    You won't find a better installer in Silicon Valley. But you don't need me to tell you that, just look at the photos of the installs.

    My brother and I have been going to Guru Electronics for our Car audio & Electronics needs for over…read more20 years. My last car was rear ended & considered a total-loss. I replaced it with a used Subaru Impreza that didnt come with a reverse camera. My mom uses the car alot, so she's going to need the reverse camera :) I arrived 15 minutes before closing on Friday and since I didnt want to keep them after closing, basically told them what model car I just bought, and what I was looking for. Double din head unit w/ reverse camera, and some aftermarket replacement door speakers. They asked if I wanted to keep the steering wheel control functions, which I did... so he mentioned what else I needed in order to keep them functional with the new stereo. He asked if Android Auto / Apple play is important to me, and if i wanted it wired/wireless. This day in age, we want everything wireless and convenient, so I said yes to the wireless feature! I mentioned I was interested in component speakers for the front doors, and he suggested where to install the tweeters, and also told me I would need some mounting plates for the dashboard for the tweeters. This way I dont have to drill a hole in the door panel. All in all... Its nice to have someone ask the right questions to ensure I had everything I needed to complete the installation over the weekend, because I would not have had the tweeter mounts if he didnt ask about my installation. I would like to mention that I wanted to have everything I needed for the weekend installation project, so I didnt check around for lower prices, but when I got home... the "Asian habits" in me decided to check prices on Amazon, and Guru's prices were either on par... or slightly below Amazon's prices! Thank you Guru and your staff for hooking me up! Tip - Bring CASH!!! ;)

I didn't know what to expect coming here... I waited at the front of the garage for about 15 minutes. There was a guy smirking in the front, doing something with cables, 2 other people working on a car, and another guy going in and out doing some kinda repair work on a truck outside. None of them said hi to me. But I know they all saw me. It was very weird. Finally after about 10 minutes of waiting (I figured maybe the owner was on lunch, since this was about 1pm), I walked up to the smirking guy and asked if the owner was here. Then he just nodded and pointed to the right, which was a very small aisle BEHIND a big stack of boxes. It was very off-putting. But I was here, and I had a time crunch. The actual owner was nice... he asked about my car, and then showed me some models. I made a purchase, and he told me to come back in 2 hours. I walked to a nearby Carls Jr, about 7 mintues away. 2 hours later, right on the dot, I get a call to get my car, and they close sharp at 4:30p. The same guy who was walking in and out (remember fixing the truck), was the one who showed me how everything worked, helped me pair my phone. I paid about $950 after taxes. I don't know if that's a good deal, but everything works well, no scratches around the dash. If it weren't for the unwelcoming first impression, this would be a 5 star for me. I wanted to give them 3 stars, but this is clearly a small business owner. My hope is they read this and work on their welcoming attitude.

I was told the replacement of board and all other parts was sourced from the OEM manufacturer, and took roughly 2 weeks to ship and repair. There was a hiccup in my unit and diagnosis and I had to wait an additional 2 weeks for another shipment and repair. When plugging the radio into my car at home, my issues reoccurred, they took my radio right back in as well as my car, no questions asked, and solved the problem within a few hours. Again, no questions asked. Honored their warranty and everything. Some things I did want to mention, to replace two boards in my radio plus labor was roughly $1400. Basically the entire radio was fried and everything had to be replaced internally. This is radio only, as I brought my radio in stand alone without my car. And although I asked for detailed part numbers and names on my invoice of exactly what parts were being bought, I never received that in my invoice. I wish they were more transparent but I can't complain since everything was fixed and done properly.

    I recently had a frustrating issue with my Prius--the factory head unit kept malfunctioning,…read morefreezing, and shutting off randomly. It was driving me nuts, so I tried the cheap route first: I bought an aftermarket unit from an overseas seller and attempted a DIY install. Big mistake. Despite watching YouTube tutorials and reaching out to the company, nothing went smoothly. The new unit caused all sorts of chaos--gauges lighting up with warning lights, hybrid system errors, and other glitches. By 3 a.m., I gave up, swapped the OEM unit back in, and hoped for the best. Unfortunately, the cheap head unit had messed with my car's computer, leaving me with persistent gauge and hybrid warnings even after reinstalling the original stereo. After visits to my regular mechanic and then the Toyota dealership (neither could fully resolve the electrical gremlins), I knew I needed professional help. That's when I found this fantastic local car stereo shop and met Angel. From the moment I walked in, Angel was patient, honest, and thorough. He took the time to diagnose everything wire by wire, confirmed that the cheap aftermarket unit was defective and had caused the issues, and gave me straight talk about my options. No pressure, no upselling--just clear explanations and fair pricing. He even offered to let me think it over and walk away if I wanted. What stood out most was his genuine vibe. You can tell right away when you're dealing with someone trustworthy, and Angel has that in spades. This is a family business that clearly takes pride in doing things right the first time--no corners cut, no shady shortcuts. I ended up going with the head unit he recommended, and I'm thrilled with the results. The new stereo works perfectly, my reverse camera is back, Android Auto connects seamlessly with my phone, and I can finally enjoy music again while driving. No more stress, no more warning lights--just a reliable, great-sounding system that makes every trip better. If you're dealing with head unit problems, aftermarket stereo installs, or just want a trustworthy upgrade, do yourself a favor and go see Angel. You won't regret it. Honest, skilled, and truly customer-focused--this shop is the real deal. Highly recommended!
