Sound Innovations

Man the professionalism speaks for itself. Quality over quantity. Got a touchscreen installed in my Jeep Patriot with a reverse camera. Went to Union Landing to catch a movie did a little shopping and my baby was done! Looks so beautiful in the car. Ernie gave me a recommendation on which unit to get and couldn’t be happier. HIGHLY recommended if you’re looking for excellent service. Will definitely be back to get my sound system put in!!!

Ernie is the best. Very helpful and always keeps you updated on your project. Will definite come back again. He is a whiz with Teslas!!!

Sound Innovations does it again! They worked their magic on my daily driver; 2014 Honda Accord sport. When i had purchased my honda accord sport back in 2013 i told myself i would not modify nor touch this car; however the stereo was so horrible that even at volume 30 i could hear myself talk. Even after the break in period, the audio sounded like CRAP! I had stopped by Sound Innovations a few months later about some possible audio options on my honda and Ernie had gave his honest opinion about my sound system along with recommendations. Since Ernie had installed several systems in this type of platform, he had made a few suggestions on how the system can sound good and boy am i glad i followed his advice. No pressure, no attitude, no gimmicks, but a simple just let me know when you are ready and we will make it happen. Their installers Junior, Mark, and Justin are the most Friendly, humble, and respectful guys who have great attention to detail.
Fast forwarding two years after owning the car and after sitting in the horrible 880 traffic with this shitty stock sound system, i took the plunge and finally had my audio done by sound innovations. Unlike my infinti g35 which they did the install back in 2011 and was more of a show system, i wanted to take a different approach with my daily driver. The goal was to retain as much trunk space as possible and to have a great sounding system without a huge budget. The end result was a side mounted fiberglass enclosure which housed a 12″ JLTW3 along with a modified rear deck lid so the sound can travel inside the car. They had also replaced my front and rear speakers with Hertz hI-​energy components, sound deadened the doors, and hid my Alpine PDX amps, and processor in the best possible location. Although the amps and processor were not visisble at all; the attention to detail in the wriing, mounting, and execution is what amazed me. The wires were all zip tied, tesa taped, routed nice and clean, and were very presentable for a stealth setup. This was way beyond my expectation. In the end i am very happy with their work and have found my go to audio shop. Even if i lived at another state, i would ship my car to Sound Innovations just to have it done. (yes they are that good!) I’ve been to audio shops (and also performance shops in the past) where i would list all my needs and wants; however the shop owner and installer would only perform 75% of the list and in the end would compensate with something else which they think is eithical. I would leave the shop being unhappy (not going to name this shop on Unilocal) along with disappointment. Anyhow, this does not happen with Sound Innovations. They will perform 100% of your needs and will go beyond your expecations. Thank you Ernie, Junior, and staff for working your magic with my daily driver.

Earnie and his team have done upgraded sound systems in 3 cars for me and I just pick up my Aston Martin DBS and the sound was (once again) transformed. If you want a high quality sound system in your car or a radar detector installed there is no better place and Earnie is super honest about what he can do and what it will cost. None better!

Sound Innovations are a class act! We have used Ernie for work on a couple of different vehicles now and the quality of the work is fantastic. The customer service is what keeps you going back for more — Ernie is extremely caring and always willing to help out.
When we have had operator problems with our complex alarm and sound setup, Ernie has always been there to help and extremely patient. When I went down there looking for a reversing system, he recommended a far better state-​of-​the-​art solution that has been absolutely perfect for us.
Ernie is very knowledgeable about the products he sells and if he doesn’t know the answer he will immediately call the sales rep for the manufacturer and get a quick answer on the spot. I would not trust my vehicles to anyone else — thank you Ernie for all your hard work you are a legend and well deserving of the perfect five star Unilocal status.

This shop is very professional and very personable. Ernie is the right person for the job. Had a backup camera interfaced with my display. Great job Highly recommended will definitely be back for future installations.

If I could give Sound Innovations 10 PLUS stars I would. I searched for a long time reading reviews after reviews and finally made the decision to allow Sound Innovations to Install my BackVue DR650GW-​2CH for front and inside car along with the Balckvue DR3500-​FHD for my rear as I drive for Lyft and sometimes Über ride sharing and in-​light of all that has been going on with social media and the fact that Über drivers and some lyft drivers have been attatcked and other incidents have taken place I thought it would be prudent to install such camera’s in my 2015 Toyota Prius V not just for Ride sharing but for personnel uses as well
Sound Innovations exceded my expectations as Ernie and his team where exceptionally knowledgeable, Ernie (Owner) was hands on working very well in the shop with his team and is exceptionally talented and Gifted in all types of Installations to the more complex to the easy jobs. I am very, very, VERY pleased and will highly recommend Sound Innovations to all my family and friends. He spent a Long time making sure it was installed properly, communicating with me in all aspects of the job along with communicating with TheDashCam Store where I purchased it to make sure everything was installed with expert precision
spending 3 plus hours with me but only charged me a more than fair price of 2 ½ hours when i know and he knows that Ernie spent way more time than that with me. On a personal note I don’t usually give high praises like this too any one but for this place deserves it as they really are GREAT !!! :) The Dash cam works perfectly ! Thank you to every one at Sound Innovations :) Happy Holidays :)

This may be my new car audio spot from now on! Yes the have high end car audio equipmemt. Yes they may or may not be of your budget. For me my key thing is customer service. With Ernie and his crew were super cool! And very knowledgeable about their product and work. I’m quite impressed! Even for being a first time customer there. It’s as if Ernie read my mind of what type of budget I was on to purchase a radio and have it installed. I would definetely recommend anybody to pay them a visit. One of the employee’s told me that they just moved to this location a couple of year ago. Which is awesome. Thank you guys for your help!

Ernie did a fantastic job with my new stereo and surround camera system. I went to four different different shops before deciding to do the install with Sound Innovations all though it was the furthest away from my home and definitely not the cheapest. It was just so clear how much more knowledge Ernie and his team had compared to the other places (all 5* on Unilocal btw). The end result was job very well done with lots of attention to detail. Go here. You won’t be disappointed.

ERNIE IS THE MAN
My insurance company worked with sound innovations when my stereo was stolen from my car, they did a excellent job and even managed to find me a removable double den face for my radio.
This review is more for my experience with them after my repair.
About 2 months after getting my car back I was driving and suddenly all I heard was bass and extremely loud. I didn’t know who to call so I called Ernie, told him what was going on and after scheduling conflicts and Ernie soon going on vacation I went down there on my lunch break from work… Ernie himself diagnosed the problem within minutes and within 30 minutes I was out of there with a brand new top of the line amp and install. Ernie even called me out to adjust the bass to my liking before leaving.
He’s great! His staff is great! Wish I had my initial install done here.

Ernie and his crew are truly pros, if you want the best sound and the best work, see Ernie, after several cars and a boat done by his team I will never go anywhere else. Anybody that gives this place a bad rating is an idiot and does not know what he is talking about.

Ernie and crew did it again. After having an install that wasn’t up to SI level of standards on my viper alarm. I had it cleaned up as well as added 2 sensors. The work was done in the time Mr. Ernesto had said. I checked up not that is was needed and these Guys truly do things right the first time. Daniel upon completion went over every feature and explained how to troubleshoot if needed. I will be back, but for work on another car hopefully. Thanks again Ernie.

Ernesto and his team are true artisans dedicated to perfection and customer service.
I’m extremely happy with the install that they performed on my Bimmer!
We went through a few designs before deciding on the best fit. Ernesto guided me through each of his component selections with complete knowledge of product whilst keeping in mind what I wanted to achieve as the end user.
He won’t up sell you or over sell you!
From this day forth, there is only one audio shop that will touch my car!
Thanks E!!!

Called on 5÷12÷2015 and requested a fixed labor quote for installing a GPS /​DVD and a rear view camera on my car. The answer is they do not know how long it takes, and will charge $ 85 per hour. Apparently either they do not have enough experience to know how long it takes to install it or they can pave to milking the cow. Not a good way to do business.

Ernie was great. Helped us get a backup camera installed on our new Audi Q7. It was their first time working on this particular model year and it took longer then expected, but he was able to honor the original quote. We would not hesitate to use Sound Innovations for all of our mobile audio needs.
As a side note while we were in there waiting to pickup Ernie was finishing up with another customer. As noted in other reviews he does not upsell you for the sake of making more money. The customer was looking at a potential upgrade for about $ 100 between 300 – 600 watt configs. The customer asked Ernie his opinion and he was very honest and said that the 300 watt config would be perfectly fine for what they needed. Many other shops I’ve been in before would not hesitate to confirm that 600 watts is the way to go.
The funny moment for us is when we saw the customer drive away and it was a teeny tiny Fiat. Yeah.300 watts for the subwoofer will be fine :)

Today, i spoke with Ernie on the Phone about getting my Baru Forester amp’d up and classy.
I haven’t even bought anything from this guy and i love him. If he was a woman i would marry him. Customer service impeccable. Emotion expressed about business executed supremely. If i owned a business he would be my face. Ernie if your reading this bro, when i do invest in making my 07 Forester Tech’d out, you the man.

I don’t write reviews, but going to make an exception in this case. If you are looking for high quality, reasonable price, and utmost quality you need to look no further. There is no high pressure sales pitches and honestly they will most likely talk you into a more reasonable approach they you had initially envisioned. I have been installing custom systems in my cars since the mid 80’s. I worked at a car stereo shop while going to college so I understand how things work. Ernie is the best I have ever dealt with ever! His communication skills are perfect! I travel much and he is always able to accommodate. My system has been installed over a year now and zero issues! My system cost more than the car so considering that it is amazing. There are always issues with these installs but not this one. Take your build to Sound Innovations and be Happy! Enough said.

If you want friendly, professional, honest service, this is the place to go for your sound and alarm needs.
Had to tow my son’s car in because his alarm key fob took a dump. Called Ernie the day before and he said «No problem, bring it in.» He quickly identified our main concern — to have access to start and drive the car (the kill switch prevented the car from being started since we couldn’t disarm the alarm due to the faulty key fob).
The next day, the car got towed in, and Ernie quickly found the valet button to deactivate the alarm. He was knowledgable and explained the different types of alarms and their features, and told us our options — attempt to reprogram the existing alarm, or to purchase a new one. Since the current alarm is old and already presenting us with problems, he told my son that if he decided on a new alarm, the next step would be to find an alarm he likes and to get back to him if we want him to order and install it. He didn’t pressure us to buy anything. He simply stated the facts and options we had.
He also explained that his quotes are all inclusive — how some shops will attract you with a cheap price, but that’s just for the basics. Anything additional you may want results in additional costs. Ernie and his staff will hook you up with any and all the features you need/​want — no hidden expenses for additional features.
Will we go back to buy and install an alarm at Sound Innovations? DEFINITELY!

Hi Unilocalers–
I drive a 2008 BMW 335i with the Logic 7 stock sound system. Needless to say, this system needs a bit more care and attention than a typical shop can provide. From doing some research, I stumbled upon Sound Innovations. They have done many systems on my exact car, and I knew my car would get the attention to detail it needed.
I wanted to replace the mid-​subs under the seats, and also get the subs it’s own amp/​power source for optimum performance. The install took about 3 hours, and the finished product was amazing.
The install reminded me of something out of «Pimp your Ride». Extremely professional, with extreme attention to detail.
Update:
Started hearing a popping noise inside the car, and the amp failed on me. Ernie was great, replacing the amp quickly for me at no charge. Two days later, the amp died on me again. Ernie is now doing a full warranty swap on the amp and subs to remedy the issue.
Even though this has turned out to be a tedious process, Ernie’s fantastic customer service and willingness to help is the reason why they have a perfect rating on Unilocal!
Thanks Ernie–

Had an iPod adapter installed in my truck and Ernie and his crew were awesome.
They even offered to pick me up at my job and take me to pick up my truck at their establishment after it was done!
I am very satisfied with their quality of work. Ernie has impeccable customer service skills. I will continue to refer family and friends!
By the way, the new building is really nice!
