I paid this installer $150 per hour to install my car audio system. While the system functions, I was disappointed with several aspects of the installation quality and attention to detail. The amplifiers were mounted inside the wheel well area, but when it came time to reinstall the trunk floor cover, it would not sit flat because the amplifiers were mounted too high. Instead of redesigning the installation so everything fit properly, the subwoofer enclosure had to be forced into the trunk, leaving a noticeable hump in the trunk floor. For a professional installation, I expected all factory panels and covers to fit correctly when the work was completed. I am also concerned about the amplifier placement because the amplifiers become very hot after driving on warm days. While I understand that amplifiers generate heat, mounting them in a confined area with limited airflow does not seem ideal for long-term reliability. Another concern is the grounding configuration. The capacitor was grounded directly to the battery, and both amplifiers were grounded through the capacitor rather than using a local chassis ground. While there may be technical reasons for this approach, it was never explained to me, and it differs from what many installers typically do in trunk-mounted systems. Better communication regarding the design choices would have been appreciated. Overall, the system works, but the fitment issues, equipment placement, and lack of attention to the finished appearance left me disappointed. For the price charged, I expected a cleaner installation, proper fitment of the factory trunk components, and a more professional final result. read more

First off I'm so glad I went here! Mike is a pleasure to work with and knows his stuff. His staff made my install of a grom (carplay) into my 2009 Lexus a breeze. It hasn't been 24 hours and I'm extremely happy and made my drive home very pleasant. Also a little background we went with the Grom to keep the factory look in my car instead of an aftermarket product. Not that there is anything wrong but I personally prefer this look. I can't thank Top Notch Tunes enough for their work. Highly recommend for any services you need! read more

Top Notch Tunes - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

Had an issue with my car radio after a jump start -- completely stopped working. I stopped by Top Knotch Tunez hoping for a little guidance, and the owner went above and beyond. He helped me troubleshoot the problem, diagnosed it as a blown fuse, and even let me use tools to swap it out right there. The best part? He didn't charge me a dime and took the time to walk me through the whole process so I knew exactly what was going on. It's rare to find a shop that's this honest and helpful. You can tell they really care about their customers. I'll definitely be coming back for any future audio needs and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for quality service and good people. read more

Took my 1997 Toyota 4Runner to Top Notch Tunes to get a basic radio installed. I came in with no appointment, let them know what I was looking for, and they got started right away. The guy there answered all the questions I had and explained everything clearly. The install was done in about an hour or less, which was nice. It's been a couple months now and the radio is still working perfectly, no issues at all. Definitely recommend if you want quick, honest, and quality work. read more

Mike and his technician team at Top Notch Tunes were incredible to work with. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure I got exactly what I wanted. They took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions, and never made me feel pressured. The install was super clean and professional, and the sound quality is unbelievable. Everything sounds crystal clear and the bass hits perfectly. You can tell Mike and his team take a lot of pride in their work and treat your car like it is their own. What really stood out was that even a year and a half later, when something sounded a little off, Mike was there for me right away and made sure everything was taken care of. That level of customer service is hard to find these days. If you are looking for someone to upgrade your audio system, I highly recommend Mike and the team at Top Notch Tunes. Great customer service, great work, and great results. read more

I had a a new radio and subwoofers installed as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. We received a fair price estimate and were able to schedule the installation for the following week. The staff was professional and kept us informed throughout the entire process. The owner was not only funny and approachable, but also professional and never tried to upsell us on anything, which I really appreciated. He offered helpful suggestions, and my boyfriend absolutely loves the new system in his car. I'll definitely be coming back here again. read more

I have been into car audio since I was a teenager in the 80's. To illustrate how old school I am, I remember when the name brands that everybody wanted were, Linear Power, Soundstream, Orion, Rockford Fosgate, MB Quart and the like. Sadly, many of these brands have gone belly up or are merely a shadow of their former selves. So every time I buy a car, one of the first things I do is rip the factory stereo out and put in aftermarket parts. A few years ago I was buying a 2018 Nissan Maxima and I stopped in to TNT to see what my options were because for the first time I was thinking of sticking with the factory head unit since it came with backup camera and other factory options that I didn't want to mess with. The owner Mike spoke with me for quite a while about going with a DSP and Focal speakers. Mike obviously knows what he's talking about and gave me a set-up that was in the range of $2,000. Certainly an amount that I was OK with paying but at the time I had a Best Buy membership that got me free installation on products and putting stuff on my Best Buy credit card got me bonus points on future Best Buy purchases. So I ended up buying similar products from Best Buy or Amazon and having my system installed at Best Buy. The system sounded pretty good and I ran that setup for a year or so. Then I ended up trading the Maxima in on a 2018 Infiniti Q50. I had the same equipment swapped over to the Q50 and was never really happy with it. I tried messing with EQ and other settings in the Alpine DSP I had bought but couldn't really get the sound like I had in the Maxima. So on a whim I decided to stop by TNT again and see what Mike had to say. He told me that he could try and diagnose what was wrong with my system, but first he said I should go back to Best Buy and see if maybe they had messed something up since they were the ones that put the system in the first place. Mike said something along the lines of, "I can certainly take a look at the system and see if something is wrong. But you'd be paying me for my time and if Best Buy screwed something up, they should fix it and save you the money of paying for me to do it." I appreciate this kind of honesty in the business world. Mike asked to listen to the stereo and right away said, "I agree with you. Something is wrong." He thought that maybe Best Buy had installed some of the speakers out of phase or something. So I called up Best Buy and they basically told me to kick rocks. When I explained the issue I was having to the person I spoke to, he told me that the only thing they could do was to the car back to stock. Well it had been about a year and I didn't have the stock speakers for them to use in the first place. So I went back to Mike. I took the car to TNT on a Thursday and gave Mike the keys to my Q50 and walked home. Mike said he would check everything out and then let me know what he found. After having the car for a few hours he called me up and told me that indeed the installation at Best Buy had been substandard and that I could come down and see what he had found. So I came back and took a look and listen and agreed with Mike's assessment. I also had previously bought some Focal speakers for the front doors that were on the lower end of the Focal quality spectrum. The ones I had bought are from their Access line and cost about $400, while the Flax ones that Mike recommends cost about $700. I was so impressed with the sound of the system when Mike had made some changes that I had him swap out the Focal Access speakers for the Flax models. So long story short, the car sounds WAY better than it had. Previously the speakers sounded bright and harsh. Now the system is clean with great dynamics. I guess the moral of the story is that I should have just went with Mike and TNT in the first place instead of trying to save some money with Best Buy. Mike knows his stuff and won't try to talk you into equipment that you don't need. He is certainly not the cheapest option out there but as they say, "You get what you pay for." The next time I am looking to upgrade my car stereo I know where I will be going. read more

Very pleased with the window tints from Top Notch Tunes! They are not opened on the weekends, so we made an appointment on a Wednesday afternoon. They do ask for a deposit. We dropped off the car at 12 and it was done by 5pm! They are super friendly over the phone and in person. They showed me the different tint options and explained it very thoroughly. They also have lifetime warranty!!! I love it! read more

My family and I had a great experience with the team at TNT (Top Notch Tunes) in Morgan Hill. Mike, the owner made the estimate process pleasant and painless by explaining what would work, sound great, and the best part wouldn't break the bank. I own a Jeep Wrangler and I love it but the sound system is not great. Mike let us know that he has done countless Jeep's and knew exactly what to do. The team installed a Sony With Apple Car Play with a 7" touch screen and I will tell you I am a very happy customer and even got my sons truck outfitted with speakers. I'm looking forward to summer so I can remove the top and blast the tunes (Jeep Life) read more

Been neglecting my project Acura Integra for a while now - first thing was to replace the OEM alarm/keyless entry system that hasn't been super reliable. Brought in the car for a Viper alarm install - Mike was very nice and had the job done super quick. Needless to say, had brief discussions regarding his thoughts/recommendations about upgrading the current sound system and definitely plan on bringing the car in next for that job. read more

Work is mediocre. Definitely not top notch. I will not return. I definitely don't recommend this place for stereo systems or window tinting

Mike and the guys hooked me up...AGAIN! Needed them to fix some electronic mounting mistakes from a boat dealer on my Ranger. Walked in- asked if they could do it- Mike said, "yes." Dropped the boat off 30 minutes later and it was ready the next morning. Great service, great price and they really do an outstanding job on WHATEVER YOU MAY NEED. This is my second EXCELLENT experience with Top Notch. Replaced some speakers in the 4Runner last summer. Ask and they will do it... Thanks again guys- you are the best! read more

I came here to have my Toyota Tundra windows tinted. Mike the owner was able to assist me with my needs. I dropped off my truck, and it was done in about an hour and 1/2. I'm very happy with Mike's responsiveness, professionalism, and overall tint job on my truck. Thanks, Mike! read more

Had an issue with my stereo cutting out randomly and it was so annoying. I work down the street at C&M automotive and everyone here at my shop recommended top notch tunes. I made an appointment and when a few hours after I dropped it off they had already figured out it was 1 of 2 things. He did the cheaper repair which was hopefully the fix. Picked it up after spending a lot less than I expected and my stereo has worked perfectly ever since! One thing my guys said when recommending top notch was that they won't BS you or rip you off and i am here today to tell you that's the case. You might not like what they tell you that you need but it's straight forward and I'll take that any day. Thanks top notch for fixing my stereo! read more

Thank you Mike for installing a new backup camera on our car! Appreciate the great work and great price. Thanks for squeezing it in also to your busy day! Mike has also installed stereo systems- subs, amp etc. on a few of my cars. Always excellent service, and a great job. Thank you read more

Five Stars All The Way Around! Mike provided stellar customer service from the moment I walked in! I was seeking a quote for a stereo with Car Play and a backup camera. He asked clarifying questions and recommended options that spanned the spectrum of price and quality. Love our new system! read more

This shop Yelps! They do an amazing job. I bought some parts, and did research in the area to do a stereo build to finish out the interior on my 1999 Tacoma. Mike's crew put in a dash camera, sub, amp, deck, and a back up cam for me. He was was the second shop I called - wasn't feeling the first one. Spoke with Mike on the phone told him what I needed. Was able to book an appointment. As soon as I showed up for my appointment. Mike had the scope of work already pulled up and read it back to me and nailed it. They did such great work and know all the places to tuck wires, where to put controllers and soldier all the connections. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants to put a system in. I was blown away at how extensive his in-house inventory is. They have everything you need. I'll be back in the future for my next project! Thanks Mike! read more

Went to Top Notch Tunes after reading all the positive reviews on Yelp and was not disappointed. I brought my 92 Mercedes in that I just purchased without a functioning head unit and Mike and his team got it all sorted. I inquired about just replacing all my speakers, head unit, amps, etc., and Mike expressed reservations about it because he didn't want to just sell me a bunch of stuff if I really didn't need it which was much appreciated. Very happy with the service and the quality of work! Highly recommend! read more

I wish I had come to them first. I visited another dealer who gave me as little attention and guidance as he possibly could. "Just figure out what you want on the internet and I'll put it in." Huh? Can you help me figure what's best among the choices? As soon as I came to Top Notch Tunes, Michael greeted, guided, recommended and reassured me on the install of a great Sony stereo with Apple CarPlay, microphone and backup camera for my 2004 Thunderbird convertible. His suggestion of an anti-glare screen for a convertible was golden--just the type of guidance I needed. The install went perfect and the whole experience was easy. Customer service is not dead everywhere! I recommend this shop as your first and only stop. read more

The stand by their work. My husband had my windows tinted on my car as a birthday gift back in 2017. In December of 2022 I noticed the back window started to bubble a tiny bit in one corner. I called them, made an appointment for the following week. They replaced it in about half a day. Very happy with the service & how quickly this was taken care of. read more

I always go to Mike when I need something technologically done to my car. He's very friendly and easy going. Will tell you the truth on how much things should cost. So far I have had an alarm installed in one car, a camera installed and my windows tinted. I will be recommending him forever. :) read more

Bought a used 2009 Impreza that came with a touchscreen head unit but only had stock speakers installed, and wanted to move the stereo system from my older car into this one. Called around and got the best price from Top Notch, so dropped by and explained what I wanted. My old sound system wasn't anything to brag about, but I didn't get any criticism towards it, and Mike didn't try to sell me on anything newer, which I appreciated. I brought up needing new 6.5 speakers, and that I had a budget which he worked with. Dropped the car off, came back a day later to everything neatly installed, hidden out of the way, with no trace that they had been in my car at all, with the stereo and EQ tuned to sound as good as it could. Anytime I decided to upgrade components or amps, I'll be sure to call here first! read more

Touch screen had stopped working on my car stereo. Messaged on a Sunday. Mike responded very quickly. Drove down the next day. Mike recommended a particular stereo because my car is a convertible. He knew the glare would be bad when the top was down. New stereo and subwoofers installed on Wednesday. Mike spent time going over the stereo. He even helped troubleshoot why car play wouldn't work. Drove home with the top down and stereo blasting. Smiled the entire drive home. The sound is just that good. Highly recommend. read more

I brought my Tundra to get a Chinese brand Multimedia GPS Stereo system to Mike. The standard harness connection would not fit the original JBL sound system so I also brought a couple extra customized harness that would do the trick. I've literally dumped the unit plus a bunch of wiring with little hope that I would be back later and enjoy the new sound system. A call came in later in the day to let me know my Tundra was ready. Those guys really know what they are doing. They are very professional and courteous. Outstanding customer service. I highly recommend them for any and all sound system installation. read more

Walked in around 11:00 AM. To talk to someone about car audio, waited 12 minutes, nobody came to the counter to talk to me. Not sure how good their work quality is. Customer service is a big 0. read more

I have owned many cars... with that mentioned I have had my fair share of knowledge surrounding car stereo systems/ equipment installation. I can say that without a doubt professional installation and tuning play a major factor in the sound quality. This place did a great job with the installation and gave me a great price on my purchase. I would def come back as I have been to other places because I didn't want to wait for an appointment from top notch tunes. However, every time I have gone elsewhere I have regretted it. The owner was super sweet too, a little flirty, but nice and honest. read more

Had my Honda CRV done right after I had a baby. Any new parent knows your time is not your own. Top Notch Tunes was easy to contact and worked around the craziness of last minute doctor appointments etc. They allowed me to come in early, drop off the car and pick the tint. I paid and picked it up much later in the day. I appreciate their excellent customer service and wish all businesses were as understanding and supportive. I felt like family. The price was reasonable and the job was fantastic! I highly recommend. read more
