    Sam and the team at Sorena Car Audio absolutely leveled up my Porsche 911 Turbo S. 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.

    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. They had a no pressure/no hustle atmosphere. Totally recommend to anyone, and especially those of us with vintage cars.

    Installed radio

    Quick follow up. A day after my review, the radio died. No power, no nothing. Texted Sam and in his calm way asked if I could drop by that afternoon and they'd take care of it. 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. Sam walked me through how to use the dashcam and answered all of my questions. 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 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). 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.

But it's more than just knowledge. He actually listens--not just to the gear, but to what you want out of your system. No sales pressure. No gimmicks. Just straight-up passion and expertise. I moved out of state a few years ago, but every time I'm back in town, I make it a point to stop by--whether it's to pick up an album (or a few) or to grab more gear that he can drop-ship to me wherever I am. My latest visit reminded me of something important--it was long overdue to leave this review. If you care about killer sound and honest advice--do yourself a favor and visit Excel Audio. You won't find a better place or a better guy to guide you.

I called the Geek Squad to have it installed. I spoke with a really good guy on the phone who set up the parameters of the job. I waited till I was ready and then called to schedule the install. Two guys came out but to their credit they knew they were in over their heads as this was gonna be a component system with all separate components. So I called back the GS and asked for customer service. The lady I spoke with called Magnolia Design Center. A store within a store at Best Buy in Costs Mesa. The CS rep got hold of Eric Armstrong who invited me down. I met him in the store and he took me on a tour of some fantastic gear which I could not be tempted with as I was on a mission to get my stuff installed. He not only calmed me down from the GS issue, he took care of the scope of work, did not make me spend more money than I had already, and told me Chris, the project manager would schedule the install. Chris called and scheduled me with David and Joseph who knew what they were doing, placed the equipment, ran the cables etc. there were still a few points that needed help that I discovered after they had left so I called Chris back and he sent Napoleon and Anthony. I thought Dave and Joseph were good but these guys were the very best. Highly technical, understood the remote programming etc. Napoleon suggested a couple of fans to dissipate the heat generated by my monster amps and said when the fans came it he would come back and move the shelving and install the fans. So fast forward a few days, Chris had them come back today and they did what they said, a very professional job, they programmed the remote properly so that everything worked perfectly. Cleaned up after themselves. Stayed with me to ensure all functions were straight. I am delighted. First of all the CS lady delighted me, Eric, actually won a customer for life by his treatment of me and my situation, Chris was great and followed up treated me with respect and kindness. And Dave and Joseph also were kind and helped but the rubber hit the road with Napoleon and Anthony. First of all they really knew their stuff- all their stuff and configured the remote, situated the gear so that it all turned on and off In the proper sequence and made sure that the Apple TV worked with the remote, as well as every other thing I had thrown at them. I am so delighted with their work that as soon as they left I sat down to write this review. Folks I can tell you from 30+ years in consumer electronics retail, that these guys are the only guys I would trust to put a complex system together. Btw did I tell you how great it sounds? How great it looks? How happy I am? Magnolia Design Center is an excellent place to get your stuff installed properly with kindness and consideration. Thank you so very much, I greatly appreciate all you guys did to win a customer for life. Highly Recommended! Ask for Eric in design, and Napoleon and Anthony in installation you will be delighted with the results. Jcg Well times have changed at Magnolia. The world class rep is gone. The new team is not friendly and the pricing for a simple remove and replace of an upgraded video projector was a full 33% more than the going rate. I passed.
