Only place in Cali I go for my Sundown speakers! Great customer service, great prices, and even better quality. If you need your car bumping, this the place to go. Update: Came in, again, to get my speakers put in my 2018 Benz. Very reasonable price, Same Day install, and quality sound/equipment. Whether you're looking for a whole set up, or just want to install what you already have... this is the place! I called at 3pm and he said he can do install SAME DAY! No matter what I'm doing, my man comes through every time. Lowest prices in 20 miles radius of Sacramento. If you're reading this, stop looking and call my guy at Arden audio.. they gonna get you right! read more

Great from start to finish! This shop can give you a quote over the phone, especially when you know what you want. Their pricing is also exceptionally fair. I requested a purchase and install of 4 JBL speakers, a kicker amp/dsp, and a rockford sub in the back. Total was $1,650 OTD. The install time was also only about 5ish hours. There's unfortunately nowhere really to wait, but there's plenty of shops in the area to check out while you wait (highly recommend The Cave). The staff was welcoming and friendly and, of course, shows you what they did. A great price for a great system! read more

Showed up to buy a stereo and harness kit. The guy running the place must have thought i was a sucker. He bid me $279 for the wiring harness, saying they were usually $350. He stuck to that price after showing him they were $139 on crutchfield and $129 on amazon. I understand a little markup, but jesus. Nobody sells them near what he said. I should have known this place was shady after hearing how short and dismissive he was on the phone. read more

I bought my Hyundai Ioniq 5 yesterday 5/3/2026 , and the very next day 5/4/2026 . my first stop was Arden Audio for window tint installation. After the job was completed, I noticed visible scratches on the interior door panel that were not there before. Since this was my first stop after purchasing the car, I am certain the damage happened during the tint. You can clearly see the damage in picture. Those are light surface scratches/scuffs on textured plastic-very typical of a tint tool or belt rubbing while working near the window edge. When I brought it to their attention, the staff denied responsibility and claimed it was just dirt, which is clearly not the case. I have photo evidence showing the scratches. I was expecting professional work and accountability, but the response I received was disappointing. I would recommend others to carefully inspect their vehicle before and after service here. read more

I had an alarm installed in my car less than a year ago. They don't keep track of records nor do they warranty anything and if it goes bad, they're gonna then charge you to look at it so nothing is free and being a return customer doesn't get you shit at this company so I think I will go ahead and take my business elsewhere but just beware when you come to this company They are all about the almighty dollar and they don't really care about their customers It's been less than a year and my alarm quit working and they don't really care. It's all about if you could give me some money. I'll figure it out. read more

Arden Audio - Business - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Sacramento, California

Steer clear, stay away!!! These guy are not professionals. I purchased an amp and speaker set for my truck and had them install it. First thing I noticed, smudge marks, and greasy fingerprints all over the glass and screen. Second thing I noticed was the sound coming from one speaker was louder than the others. I tried to use the equalizer to adjust and noticed that it was wired incorrectly. Sound setting set to rear and sound would come out of front speakers only. Set to front, and the sound was only in the rear speakers. Left was right and right was left. Then I noticed that they scratched my ceramic tint while trying to access the tweeters on the dash. I kept inspecting it and kept finding things. I also noticed they broke the plastic rail guards when they removed the seat to install the amp. Oh and they for some reason couldn't install the tweeters from the set I purchased so they took it upon themselves to use other speakers without even consulting me or notifying me of this alteration. When I confronted the manager about the obvious scratches on the ceramic coating he tried to tell me that those scratches were already there. Then he denied they had anything to do with it. The coating had been put on two weeks prior to this and didn't have a single scratch. I had to come in on 3 separate occasions to get the equipment dialed in. There's absolutely zero reason why I should have to return after your professionals have installed it the first time. It should have been done right to begin with. The point of this lengthy complaint is to outline a few things about this place. They will try to upsell you on everything. They clearly don't test the equipment after install. They won't accept accountability for damage during install. They are terrible at communication. Zero transparency. And I question their integrity. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Not even the people I dislike. I would give it -5 stars if possible. read more

I'd give no stars if I could . I got an expensive alarm system along with an in dash and some nicer speakers installed a few years back . I have been having countless issues with everything that they touched and it's been an absolute pain. Issues that have left me stranded multiple times because of some weird wiring with the alarm system that they spliced up . It's more upsetting because of the confidence that they have in upselling you more stuff , quality products that DO NOT have quality installations. DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

Had a rear dash cam installed. Responded fast, saw me immediately, and they have a partnership with another nearby location so they completed the work very quickly. Not the most tidy inside, but they had very competitive pricing and did high quality work. read more

Seriously, F this garbage ass place paid $900 for two products (new deck and updated sound system, both front and rear speakers). 1. The deck: Idiot installer badly damaged my dash with a simple deck swap. Called the owner and sent photos of the damages. He said he'd have to ask his employee to get his side of the story. Two days later, I had to call back. The employee got on the line and first tried saying he didn't need to remove the vents to swap the deck. When I called him on that bs, he then changed up his story by saying he didn't even do the damage and that he took a "mental note" of prior damage. Lmfao. You can clearly see where the asshole liar used a small Flathead and gouged the hell out of it. I have all the service records, and neither the vent nor the dash has ever been touched. When I brought the car back, the owner(?) took pics and said he "has a guy who can fix it." Never heard back from him. 2. The sound system they put in is trash. I've tried changing all the audio settings and it still sounds like I'm just listening to my phone connected to a cheap $40 portable Bluetooth speaker. The speakers even sound blown! Update: 12/27, rear speakers not working. Left front door: speaker rattles. Brought my car back and Dia said to mess with the deck settings. Had one of his installers do it and they said there's something wrong with how it's wired up and there's nothing they can do about it. Dia then tried to get me to buy more product. When I told him no, he said "you can stay with it". read more

Not sure if my options going to matter because this place a ce seems to have a following good or bad. Short of the story why I am here. My radio and car alarm was screwed up. I came here to get a new radio and alarm installed. I also had to get one door speaker installed since It was never installed properly. Just like the one of the reviews I read, then said they were going to call me by the end of their work day but they never did. I went to go get the car. The speaker was not hooked up. The car alarm was hooked up but the automatic doors was disabled. After I got home I called them up to ask what happened. They guy said. The doors should work just fine. I told him they don't. (He's playing dumb with me at this point) I also asked about why didn't he put the door speaker in. He said we did I said no the speakers is still sitting in my front seat. He said qell.just plug it in yourself. I had to explain why I couldn't and how the wires are different ( anyone looking at this speaker can see why I couldn't). He told me bring th car by early Monday or Saturday. I come back Monday. Like I said indont think I could change any mind about this place because there was alot of people here already. They guy comes out and looks at the car. He said come back Saturday my guy can't fix it today. This place is crap. I notice little thing about this place. The show room floor is packed with speakers. You can even walk through the place unless your looking to fall over something. The guy that was helping me well I am assuming he might be the owner because his employees on the show room floor can't make a decision with out him there. You ask for a price on something and they tell you "you gotta wait till he come back in" Over all. Take your car somewhere else and save the headache. read more

I came into Arden audio to get new wires installed for my app and speakers plus four-way channel amp with new DS18 speakers Plus a base knob when I came to the shop I noticed my passenger switch was broken off the door so I walked around. The car noticed scratches on top of that they cut my back up camera because they couldn't see it because the truck is dropped. Didn't do a good job doing the ground wire Wasn't worth my money or time I definitely didn't deserve all the damage they did to my vehicle read more

I took my truck here 2 years ago thinking they were the best in Sacramento. I was dead wrong. I paid over $1100 for a used sub box with new speakers. New rca cables which they never installed. Then to top it off I was taking it the amp that I purchased from them as well out of my truck when I noticed the installer had cross threaded the grounding wires connector. So they forced it and in the process they spilt the Allen screw. Now I am fucked because it was over 2 years they installed it and they were already acting sketchy when i went back to complain that my sub box was used and starting to rattle. Yea the worst place to go for any audio needs. read more

Arden Audio - Hey jackass if you put the screw in straight you wouldn't of had this problem. Now I'm writing this review and you guys can eat a fat dick! - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Sacramento, California

I thought this would be a great shop as they had good reviews. The main guy who was there I believe the owner started off very nice but I did wait 15 minutes just to be seen while standing in a waiting area. I did not receive a call regarding my car being finished I just showed up and it was done waiting there. When I asked about why my back up sensor wasn't working. That seemed to agitate the owner he stated I would have to buy a new harness. I would have done this in the very beginning if he would have told me. I paid a total of $235. To install a stereo that I already had possession of and install a serious module and antenna. The sirius radio loses connection constantly as if the antenna isn't in the right position. I previously had sirius on my old radio with no problems. I wish I never would have went to Arden audio. When I told him about my issues he told me to come back in 3 days and started walking away as I was trying to get more info. He then ignored me and walked off back into the shop. I don't understand why companies continue to use and abuse and take money as if their reputation isn't on the line. Also the receipt I have is not legible at all you can read one single letter. Please be aware. read more

Arden Audio - Receipt - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Sacramento, California

A friend recommended me this place because they have a huge selection of car audio and they were right! They have something for everyone. From someone looking to add a bit of bass to sounding like donkey Kong in your trunk. They have a nice selection of amps, speakers, stereos, audio installing kits, wire and more. I came in to get some subwoofers amp, and installation kit. Got a much better price than anywhere else in town. When it comes to car audio this is the place to go. read more

Careful getting window tint here. Looks good for a few months but once the summer heat came my rear window and side windows started bubbling. Contacted them and they didn't seem to interested in helping me get this removed. Lifetime warranty means you have to save your receipt AND call the manufacturer yourself and file a claim. Definitely not worth the time. Now I am having to go to a professional shop in Roseville to have this taken off properly, it's worth it paying 200+ at some of the more reputable companies for a better quality. You get what you pay for. Was ignored as seen in picture, my second attempt in trying to get help. read more

Huge ripoff and very dishonest practices. They'll take advantage of you if they know you know nothing about audio. Went to them to get my subwoofer installed in my new car front to back. Charged me $400. Brand new European car driven by an audio noob? Prime victim, no? Told me they were giving me top of the line wiring. "I'd put this in my own car". They charged me accordingly for the "top of the line wiring". The cheap wiring and interface melted within a few months. I went to another audio shop and they asked if a friend did it for me from how ratchet the job was. Within seconds they said it was a shady job. I was also told that my wiring melted while being installed so they needed to use an aftermarket screw setup to hold the wires together since it melted the plastic in the box. I was told nothing about it. They asked me a lot of questions and they quickly figured out that I really had no idea about audio. I just blindly trusted their call. read more

Understaffed, long wait times, poorly managed business, with average installers who are highly under compensation, you will get a very low price but be prepared for a second visit with a installer error and little problem solutions from the owner. *Best advice order your audio equipment from Amazon and have it installed by a more reputable company that will do the job done right the first time even if it costs you more you receive the quality you put out for . read more
