    Don't go here

    Don't waste your time with this place. If you don't pay their overinflated prices on primitive audio equipment they won't install it. I have never been to a business that wouldn't do an install if I was paying for it. Too bad. I'm glad I've saved $1000's by the guy refusing to do business with someone who brings in their own deck and subwoofer. If they can't do a simple wire job why would I trust their equipment that they sell. Off brand names with double the price of name brand... what a joke... dude tells me to Goto a guy off instagram... wow.. not Pono...

    I just picked up my truck from Derek. I did a sub box and rear view camera install from them about 2 years ago. Fast forward to now, rear view camera became faulty, but my 1 year warranty was up. Derek and his crew still took care of me. Warrantied my old reverse camera and actually installed a new and upgraded one. Derek took care of everything and it was all free. Definitely reccomend certified sounds for all your car needs. Great service and workmanship, and Ill definitely be back to install a few more things. Thanks again Derek!

How he was able to place the back speakers on the wall without any visible wires is magic. Recently he did an upgrade of my TV and AudioControl equipment. Cary really knows his stuff and is facile with the software and equipment interfaces. If you need a detail-oriented, experienced pro, give him a call. You won't be disappointed.

Cary & Cheryl and…read moretheir staff (JR) did a fantastic job on transforming a room that was a Den, into a beautiful functioning multi-media room that I could spend all day in. I had a somewhat small room to spare and discussed what I wanted, my budget and AHT was able to take it from there. Worked with accommodating my "must haves", "good to have" and all else. The work was done on time to specs. Their responsiveness was fantastic. Was able to work long distance for some of it. The measurements, finish and attention to detail were meticulous and perfect. The entire project from start to finish can be viewed on the AHT website. My kids who are hard to please were impressed by the finish of the room. It is a good hideout, a respite from which I can tune out the rest of the world and be in another place for a while. The follow up and follow through were prompt and Cary made sure I was pleased with the outcome and only then was he satisfied. I highly recommend AHT for any entertainment needs!

    Outstanding service! Initially I requested Pueo to wall mount an existing 50" TV in the living room…read moreas we were trying to make more space in our condo. We were looking for a clean look with no visible wires. Long story short I learned that Chad, the owner at Pueo, was also a Sony dealer and I decided to upgrade to 75" Sony XBR TV for the living room and had the existing TV mounted in a bedroom directly behind the living room wall which worked out perfectly. As part of the deal they also wall-mounted a 72" floating shelf below the new Sony XBR 75. I got the shelf from Amazon (Chad's recommendation). Everything turned out perfectly. No wires! They made sure they got it exactly as we wanted. They hooked everything up and showed us how to operate the new TV. I bought a Harmony 650 remote to control all A/V components with one remote. Being not at all tech savvy, Chad came by on a Sunday and helped me program the remote and showed me how to use it. Highly recommend Pueo Audio!

They left it unfinished and said they would come back some other time to finish it. I decided that I would stop while I was ahead and find a company that knew what they were doing. I contacted Pueo on Yelp and within 30 minutes Chad responded. He came over the same day to look to see what still needed to be done. We set up an appointment and they arrived on time. I had ordered an entertainment center from Inspiration. They picked it up from the store for me and assembled it. They also completed the installation of the speakers and hiding of the wires. I am very happy with the way it turned out. It looks so much nicer now that the TV and most of the speakers are wall mounted. My grievance is that they left two holes in my walls (one in the a/c closet and one in my wife's bedroom closet). I went to City Mill and patched the holes myself. It was easy to patch but I am disappointed they left the walls that way. I also would have preferred if they had brought their own vacuum rather than use mine to clean up the drywall dust. It was messy trying to clean the dust out of my filter. I could hear them making fun of some of the older equipment that I had but I do have some older media that I still use from time to time. Overall, it was a positive experience. They were friendly and worked efficiently. I would recommend them but I hope they invest in a vacuum cleaner and repair any damage they cause.

If I had to build another system, I would use Chris and Home Theater Solutions Hawaii. Chris came recommended by our contractor who said he would not work with anyone else on a home theater. Our meetings mapped out the specifications for both the system as well as the room construction so they complemented one another. I appreciated being included in the communications so I could understand the impact of the changes on the final design and offer input. What I appreciated most was Chris' expertise in matching the equipment to my budget. While I did a ton of research on speakers and projectors, I lack the practical experience of pairing devices together into a system. Through numerous conversations, Chris was able to understand what I was looking for and tweaked the equipment list accordingly. I started the process looking for an Atmos 9.1 system and am incredibly happy with the 7.2 setup I have now. I also appreciated that he didn't go significantly over-budget and I never felt like he was trying to up-sell anything to me. These systems run the cost gamut so there is always an upgrade to be had. The equipment cost was at the high-end of what I wanted to spend, but the end result completely exceeded my expectations.

He gave us such good advice in choosing the different components and his unending patience was much appreciated!

There are people who are experts who make you feel embarrassed when you ask a simplistic question. Not Chris -- he answered every question respectfully. He wanted to help us understand and make us happy with our system. Whether you're an audiophile or a neophyte, you'll be lucky to have Chris helping you.

After using Target's very clean restroom, I thought I'd walk around & check out the Kailua Store. Making a small observation.......... ever noticed that Target's store layout is pretty similar to the other Target stores in da 808??? I guess this is kinda neat, as it makes it easier to find things in the store. I noticed that the Kailua Target store also had a Starbucks coffee shop, & a Pizza Hut within the store. I really didn't have anything to buy today, but while browsing around, I came across some DEALAGES on a microwave oven. DARN! I just bought a new microwave oven for my dad, as his microwave had broke down recently. Guess where I bought my microwave??? Yes gangies..........Walmart! And ya know what???? Target actually had a better sale price on the microwave, as the microwave I bought on sale at Walmart was ($60.73 w/tax). I guess Walmart doesn't always have da best DEALAGES! Lol! The Kailua Target store is very spacious & clean. A very nice store to visit, should you need groceries, or any other item.
