    Brought in my 2011 Camaro after doing part of the CarPlay install myself and these guys helped me finish everything up cleanly. They got the backup camera, wiring, and final setup dialed in and were super cool to work with. CarPlay, gauges, audio, everything works great now. Really appreciate them taking over and helping me get the build finished right. Definitely recommend if you want people who actually know what they're doing with custom audio and integration work.

    I've been installing car stereos and audio equipment in my own vehicles since the late '90s, so I'm pretty particular about who I trust to work on my cars. Henry at Custom Audio Designs installed the stereo in my 2024 Bronco Raptor and also helped me wire a roof-mounted light bar. From start to finish, he was responsive, reliable, and genuinely easy to work with. I didn't mind jumping in and helping a bit, and he was completely comfortable talking through the setup--always a good sign when someone actually knows what they're doing. What really stood out to me was how dialed-in he was. I already had a clear idea of how I wanted everything wired, but I like to play dumb sometimes just to see what someone recommends. Henry had everything spec'd out immediately, including the exact hidden amp location I would've chosen myself--something other shops would have easily charged double for. The wiring was clean, the install was fast, and the speakers were calibrated perfectly. His pricing is extremely compelling for the level of work you get, without feeling like corners are being cut. On top of that, he's just a good guy--hospitable, hardworking, and straightforward. You really don't find many people like this in the car audio world anymore. Henry runs his company and does the installs himself (with help from a knowledgeable assistant), which shows in the quality of the work. My next project will absolutely be going back to him, and I'll be recommending him to anyone I know without hesitation. Can't say enough good things--he's legit.

    Listen, Henry and his team did a great job installing a really nice WiFi Pioneer CarPlay stereo and speakers on my 99 4Runner. I love it, great guy. He was also able to install a custom USB port that I brought into him. Just a chill dude who's great at what he does, there's a Starbucks around the corner that I just chilled at while he worked. Thank you Henry!!!

    I booked an appointment with Henry and Art to replace the front grille and add new JBL audio speakers to my 2025 Toyota Tundra pickup truck... They were very professional and friendly, the results were perfect, and I am very satisfied with their service. BTW, the installation charges are more than reasonable

    I looked at reviews for a car stereo installation & found this business called Custom Audio Designs! I didn't have an appointment & was helped right away by Henry the owner! If you need any car stereo or an alarm for your vehicle I recommend this place & ask for Henry!

    Screen upgrade and CarPlay.

    Looking to upgrade your stereo, add CarPlay to your system, or add a back up camera. Look no further. Henry and his team are the best at what they do. Reached out to Custom Audio designs for a quote to add CarPlay and backup camera to my Mercedes. Henry gave me a great quote and explained the process. The job was done within 2 hours and everything looks great. Will recommend Custom Audio to family and friends.

    If you're still looking around for your car audio needs--go with Custom Audio Designs. Henry and his team has over 30 years of experience, are friendly and respectful, accomodating and skilled! He responded to my request for quote promptly, with transparency and the best pricing around. He was able to schedule me in at last minute, gave me options on what to get based on my specs and budget, installed the radio and camera quickly and professionally (I'm impress with the wiring--great job!!). I highly recommend this place. Definitely going back for my car audio needs.

The…read moreBluetooth was very spotty, often just failing to work while in the middle of a drive and requiring the car to be restarted. After much consideration, I decided it was time to replace her stereo with something that had a few more bells and whistles. I wound up putting a project out and collecting bids with the best experience coming from Planet Stereo. Gilbert offered a great price, now let's go through the actual installation. I was quoted $500 out the door for a mechless receiver and all of the aftermarket parts to install. It was quite a steal. After looking up the specific stereo, I figured this was acceptable and made the drive. Gilbert suggested the install would take about 2 hours, so I planned for a good amount of time for this. Now, it did take longer than expected. However, I was warned of that when I arrived, as they were busier than normal the day I opted to drive over. They do have a lounge area where you can sit and watch TV while you wait. I would suggest bringing something to snack on. There are some restaurants somewhat nearby, but refreshments while at the store are lacking. That said, I was comfortable enough watching a Rams game while they worked away. The result was a perfect install. They did apologize for the length of time, but I was okay with that, since I got to watch the entire game. The gentleman working the floor (forgot your name, sorry!) walked me out to check out the job and show me some of the basic functions of the new deck. They did need parts that they didn't factor into cost, and included them at no additional charge to me. And the deck, while an off name, did have some very important features like wireless Apple CarPlay - a huge win at that price point. They even have a finance option, which can amount to 90 days same as cash (with small processing fee) or longer terms if needed. Great install, and great staff. Higher end options also available if you have the budget, which I did not.

    Huge thank you to King of Sound for being honest and actually taking the time to diagnose my issue…read morecorrectly. After replacing my car battery, my entire sound system started acting up. My bass knob stopped working properly, the bass sounded weak, and everything felt off. Another shop charged me $35, told me my amp channel was burnt out, blamed a small hole in my subwoofer, and immediately tried to sell me over $420 in new equipment without even checking or resetting my settings. I came to King of Sound for a second opinion, and within less than 15 minutes they figured out the battery replacement had simply reset my audio settings. They retuned everything, made sure the system sounded right, and now my setup works perfectly again -- honestly better than before. The best part was they were professional, patient, and genuinely wanted to help instead of upsell me on things I didn't need. They didn't even charge me. It's rare to find businesses that are this honest anymore. Definitely earned my future business and recommendation.

When I came back, he explained the lights are covered under a one-year warranty, so if anything comes up, I can just bring it back and he'll take care of it--no hassle. After settling the bill, he walked me out and said, "Fire it up, check it out." And wow--my lights have never been this bright. It honestly felt like I was driving a brand-new car again. I'm extremely happy with the quality, especially for the price. I highly recommend giving King of Sounds a try if you need car alarms, rims, tires, HID/LED headlights, light bars, window tint, OEM navigation, speakers, door locks, and more. They also offer installation and repair. 5 stars, no question.

Right after the battery replacement, my bass knob stopped working, the bass sounded weak, and my whole system sounded off. I thought maybe the fuse came loose or the settings reset. I noticed, instead of actually troubleshooting or even bothering to check my settings, they charged me $35 just to tell me that one amp channel was "burnt out" and that a small hole in my subwoofer was supposedly the reason my system stopped working properly. After being there an hour, they immediately tried to sell me a whole new amp and subwoofer setup for over $420. What made it worse was being told my amp was "too old" because it was supposedly six years old and they "don't carry them anymore." If that's true, then why was I sold that amp during my 2024 installation at full price? None of it made sense considering everything was working perfectly fine before the battery swap. The most frustrating part is they didn't even try to adjust or reset the settings. They did absolutely nothing besides charge me $35 and try to sell me more equipment. I trusted my gut and went to King of Sounds for a second opinion. They immediately explained that replacing the battery reset my audio settings. They fixed everything in less than 15 mins, tuned it properly, made sure the system sounded right, and now my audio works perfectly again , honestly better than before. And they didn't charge me a single dollar. I don't know if it was because I came in alone and I'm a woman, but the entire experience left a really bad impression on me. As a returning customer, I expected honesty and actual troubleshooting, not to be charged for nothing and pushed into unnecessary replacements. I won't be coming back, and from now on I'll gladly take my business to King of Sounds in Covina. UPDATE: since they want to say that I'm LYING AND NEVER GOT MY SERVICE THERE. here's my bank statement of this purchase from when I did it. Hes right i didnt pay 1300 I PAID $2000. THIS IS NOT INCLUDING MY EXES SERVICE. This is just what i paid them , TWO THOUSAND originally. He's claiming that he's charging me for troubleshooting, yet didn't even bother to check my settings. I also never claimed that they made me purchase anything lol. Deflection at its best and guess what? king of sounds did not do my service and yet they fixed everything for me for FREE in less than 15 minutes. As a business owner, it's obvious it's unprofessional. You don't even have record of all the clients that you have serviced and this is probably a business owner that doesnt even know what a CRM is. Then claim that the customer lies because they fail to run their business correctly and with integrity. If someone spent $2000 at your shop, there should be some sort of record . These type of businessmen of course don't want clients that will hold them accountable.
