[[HIGHLIGHT]]Sam and the team at Sorena Car Audio absolutely leveled up my Porsche 911 Turbo S.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The install is flawless, the sound is crisp, powerful, and perfectly tuned. These guys don't just install, they elevate the entire driving experience. Professional, fast, and top-tier craftsmanship. If you want it done right the first time, this is the spot. Highly recommend.

Car

From beginning to end, a completely professional experience. I brought in my 1964 Corvair for upgraded audio and ambient lighting. Not everyone can/will work on vintage cars, but Sam and the crew at Sorena knew exactly what to do. Super easy to work with, knowledgeable... and something very important to me... they ran ON TIME with everything they told me. Initial consultation, drop off and pickup were all exactly as scheduled. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had a no pressure/no hustle atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Totally recommend to anyone, and especially those of us with vintage cars.

Installed radio
J. Marc G.

Quick follow up. A day after my review, the radio died. No power, no nothing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Texted Sam and in his calm way asked if I could drop by that afternoon and they'd take care of it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Long story short, short I discovered that my car had not one, but two fuse boxes! Chris figured it out ("they're like old Porsche set ups") and in less than half an hour (and swapping out a cruddy, rusty old fuse) everything was working perfectly. These guys are awesome and stand by their work. Can't recommend them enough!!

BlackVue dash cam (Front)

BlackVue dash cam was installed front and back. I'm pretty OCD about my stuff and couldn't ask for a more professional OEM style install. If you care about your belongings like I do. This is the place to go!

Sam at Sorena Car Audio (SCA) did such a good job installing a dashcam in my Porsche 911 Carrera S, that I returned for sound deadening service two weeks later. I researched the top dashcam installers in my area on Yelp, and SCA stood out from the others due to the quality of reviews. Sam and his team installed a BlackVue dashcam with external battery in my 911 and the installation was perfect. The wires were hidden and you don't even know the dashcam is there, which is exactly what I wanted. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sam walked me through how to use the dashcam and answered all of my questions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I started researching sound deadening services a couple weeks later and saw that SCA offered it, I reached out to Sam and made an appointment. For my car, Sam recommended adding sound deadening material to the doors and the rear wheel and carpet areas. Installation took one day and the addition of the sound deadening material was immediately noticeable. Road and wheel noise were reduced dramatically at both local and freeway driving speeds. I no longer hear rattles or small rocks and sand hitting the wheel wells. Tire noise against the road is significantly reduced, yet, I still get to enjoy the sound of the 911's engine, due to where Sam and his team strategically placed the material. The music from my Bose system also sounds better (and louder), which I attribute to lesser cabin noise overall, and the filling-in of empty spaces in the doors. It's truly transformed my 911 into a more comfortable daily driver and it feels like a different car for the better. If you're in the market for a dashcam or adding sound deadening material to your car, please check out Sorena Car Audio. The facility is top-notch and clean, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sam and his team seem to be genuinely good people (they even helped me fix a seatbelt issue I had that was totally unrelated to the work they were doing for me).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent results with even better people - it doesn't get much better than that.

The entire team at Sorena Audio did such a fantastic job on my car. I just bought a new car and initially wanted some window tint and a subwoofer. The guys took the time to show me what was possible with my car and how many cool things I could do to it! We ended up with a front and rear dash cam, stars in the roof, additional LED lights, tint, and an incredible new sub woofer that makes my sound system feel concert level. Oh and also wrapped my roof with gloss back and carbon fiber! Customer service, hospitality, and professionalism all 10/10. These guys love cars.

It was put right in the middle of my windshield, which caused quite a visual distraction, and depending on who tells you, could be against California code regarding dashcam placement. When I got home, I repositioned the camera to one of the spots recommended by the manufacturer, next to the rearview mirror and out of direct line of sight. Another questionable choice, they cut a slot into the plastic that covers my cruise control wires instead of routing cables through the already present gap between the rear view mirror and plastic cover. This could be on me as well, as I never discussed preferred camera position with the business. I took a picture of the cut they made, as well as a picture with a red X to show where the camera was originally placed. Those choices, while a bit puzzling didn't really bother me enough to go back as ultimately I wanted my camera to be properly connected, and cables nicely routes and invisible. Newport Sound did all this perfectly and I am very happy with that. While this won't stop me from coming back myself, it is worth noting for other potential customers.

Bought a new truck and had the system installed. The wiring for the subs was shady and could've burned my amps. I messed up by leaving my truck. Instead of the correct fuses they used circuit breakers that heated up and offered no protection for my amps. Even now my 300/4 is suspect. Also, my W7 was always in the house, but when I picked my truck up, the surround had mysteriously disintegrated. Had to drop $2k+ for anew one and to have it put in the box! Had my truck rewired at a reputable shop only to find out Universal had cut into my truck body where the factory amp was *dead face* Had the amp moved and every power and ground wiring redone. System can breathe now and actually bump. I trusted Jordan and his peeps and it was my mistake to leave my truck. I'd never do that again. NVR.

They're not the cheapest option compared to online pricing, but you're paying for real expertise--and it shows in the quality of the install and overall experience. What really stands out is the follow-up. I've come back with minor issues, and they've always taken care of them on the spot without any hassle. Fair pricing, skilled work, and solid customer service. Definitely a shop I'd recommend if you want it done right.
