Sound Innovations

Sound Innovations is by far one of the best custom automotive businesses in the industry The experience I had here was what I imagine buying a new Porsche or Mclaren would feel like. Ernie removed the damaged system that I had done by a shop in Belmont and installed something breathtaking. Sound Innovations reinstalled my JL C3-650s and powered them with a JL VX600/6i. He then gave me an excellent deal on a custom JL 12" subwoofer, box, and Audison 1.500 mono amplifier.
As far as installation and sound quality, this is the cleanest and clearest system I've had, and I have had 4 sound systems installed since 2012 in 4 different vehicles. My tweeters generate highs at any volume without any harshness at all. The sound stage is beautifully towards the front, and it feels like I'm at a concert when I drive. I often forget that I'm driving -- dangerous...I know. Lastly, the mid bass seems to pierce your chest and the bass in the trunk is connected seamlessly and powerfully with the music. And yes, the hardware is definitely higher end, but the magic is in the tuning. Before Ernie, I didn't even know that car audio shops were able to tune your sound system unless you rolled up with 10 stacks and a Rolls-Royce. When you talk to Ernie, you can tell that he has an intense passion for music and sound. It's definitely more than just crushing a profit margin for him.

More than anything, Ernie did not look down on me for being young, for riding JDM instead of German/Italian/American Classic, or for not being an expert in car audio. It's these types of relationships that last a lifetime and that will make a business rise above others.

Lastly, I'd like to give a shout-out to Junior and the other technicians that worked on my car. Your skill is easy to see and is definitely appreciated. That custom USB-C flush mount was smart and impressive to be done on the fly. I hope that you continue to work with Ernie and grow in your career. Bless you and your families. Thank you.
