Discussing . 4 years ago I got a kicker system. (Trash) FYI and these people here gave me my stock speakers in the back . Jimmy rigged anyways . And happily took my 1400 and didn't wanna warranty it when they installed my amp kit. Oh not to mention they put aluminum wire instead of copper wire. I swear if I could start a lawsuit with them I would . STAY AWAY . read more

I don't even think this place deserves 1 star, they sell cheap Chinese made crap repackaged and relabeled to name brand products. I bought an audio converter for $24 and it came with no wiring diagram, no instructions, and as I was looking on the Internet for some way to wire it.... I seen the same damn product on eBay for $6.99 with free shipping. I tried looking for the diagram on the website of the "advertised" relabeled product and they only carried one kind... And it's not the kind I had purchased from this rip off store. I googled the part number and nothing even shows up besides other mumbo jumbo not even related to the company that "supposably" makes this product. read more

1. Overpriced 2. Took 4 hours for an iPod adaptor and 4 speakers to be install. They told me installation would take 1.5 hours. 3. Never apologized for the inconvenience just continued to say "about 30 more mins". 4. The "new" speakers they installed were poor quality. Cant tell the difference between the old speakers and the new speakers. 5. 2 months later iPod adaptor works intermittently. read more

This place should get zero stars . Andy helped me get 2 vehicles done here brand new 2019 Camry powered sun installed in the trunk, went to pick up the vehicle and they had scratched the drivers door all the way to primer. Said they would take care of it sent me to some podunk ass body shop who was already worried about matching the color. Body shopped flaked and they still ha went done anything to help repair or compensate. Next had my 2009 Lexus GS 350 done the next week and picked up car driven one time since install stereo will not turn on now they're blaming the stick amp thay came with car as water damaged yet there has never been a problem until we took to them. We were recommended to this shop from some very good friends so figured we'd be taken care considering we just spent over a 1000 on parts and install. Really kicking myself in the ass for not coming to Yelp to research reviews first. Fuck pacific stereo and there shady ass business practice read more

Came here a few days ago to get a custom dash bezel for my AVH4800BS stereo in a CR-V. The shop appears to have some good quality sound equipment and numerous touch displays to fiddle with the stereo system of your liking. Went in on Friday right when they opened and they were pretty busy. The customer service was friendly and the place was tidy. I was originally quoted for $200 but they gave me a deal for $100 because it was a simple job. They postponed the job one day because they had a full schedule that day. Ultimately, the bezel fit perfectly and I had a good experience. read more

See all

This place is a hit and miss... LOVED:: Great selection and the guy I got was helpful. The prices are good! And they negotiate like crazy. It took 30 minutes from choosing an in dash to complete installation DIDNT LOVE:: The next time I went I got a guy who seemed like he was on something, younger, and rushed me. He sold me a used ghetto amp, and the connection was horrible. charged me A LOT for the crap job i got. TIP: look for the older man. He's very negotiable and if you know more than they think, speak up, OH and get a reciept! I didnt get one the second time i went. :( read more

Extremely disappointed with customer care and satisfactory, they'll tell you anything to make money. Went about 2-3 weeks ago because my subwoofer would go off and on depending on the volume I had it on, so came here to see what they can do, of course they said no problem took my truck in came back within 20mins saying it was my subwoofer that was blown me not knowing any better I told ok install a new 1, they did and came back and I asked the installer and the sales rep are u sure that's what it was and they both looked directly at me and said "yes that I will have no problems anymore guaranteed" paid and left not even 2blocks down the street and again same problem, went back and the same sales rep looked at everything and said OH it's your amp it's not strong enough for the subwoofer, but not even 20 mins everything was fine I was gonna not have any issues and the issue was the old sub no it's the amp! I guess it's partially my fault for not doing research but you go to them trusting them and all they wanna do is sell you stuff you don't need they have no idea what they're doing one second it's one issue next it's not that it's something else so basically I paid for a new subwoofer I probably did not need. Don't make the same mistake I did do your research and don't trust these people!!!!!!! read more

I met Jose after going to two different places. He gave me a better deal than the other two places and I was in and out in less than 2 hours. Also they had what I wanted in stock. The others would have had to order it. From walking in to get a quote and driving away with a new receiver and back up camera.... Less than 2 hours! Lifetime warrantee on service too. I'm sure I will be back again. read more

Top of the line brands for great prices. Just got the chameleon concept CFD-135M drop down dvd player installed in my suburban and it was done fast and very clean. Joe and his team took great care of us! We will definitely be going back to have a system installed in our boat asap. read more

Excellent, polite service. I needed a replacement radio for my 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse. I asked for a basic radio no big bells and whistles and these guys came through. No hard sell, narrowed it to three choices - Good, Better, Best and then let me decide. The install did take longer than estimated but the job was well done and I have no complaints. I plan to use them again soon for some work on another car as well as a boat. Don't understand why others seem to be upset. These guys were eager to help and did a great job. read more

Enough is enough. I went to this shop approximately a year and half ago to put the system in that I always wanted. When I pulled up the shop, I expressed my concerns and what I was looking for. The sales associate that helped me out started with "Let's start with a small system see how you like and then will go from there. If you are unhappy with the system bring it back and we'll upgrade." While it was nice, I drove around with the system for a week and it did not have the feel that I was looking for. For a second time at Pacific Stereo we hit the drawing board. I told them well this sounds great, it's just not what I am looking for. We tossed around a couple ideas and finally headed towards a JL audio system. The system was installed and while it was big difference it was still not enough. Again, I drove around with that system for a while. Third time back at Pacific Stereo, I tell them I still need more. "Well in order to get more you will have to buy more" was their response. I threw the money down and bought a Kenwood Deck and the Scosche dash kit for my 2015 F-150. At the end of the day, I picked up the truck and listen to it in the parking lot. I told the associate "It's flat." He turned around looked at mean like "What do you mean it's flat?" Flat means that there is no bass/definition coming out of there doors. He then had his tech come to the vehicle and mess with the equalizer but still really didn't see that definition kick up to what I was expecting. Finally, the last time at Pacific Stereo, I told him to take the Kenwood Stereo out and put my stock radio in. I was tired of the headache and the Scosche kit messed up. Thanks a lot, Scosche $500.00 well wasted! Also, when the installer installed the kit the door chime was ridiculously loud that it was ear blowing. I told the associate that it needed to be turned down and the response was "We can't turn it down. That's just the way that it is." Really, then how come after you but the stock back in things were fixed?! Just today, I took the truck over to a shop that my buddy recommended and told him all the concerns that I had. He saw everything that I was talking about and even said "It's a nice system but the work that was done was complete garbage. We can fix this but in order to fix this we are going to have to play doctor and figure out how bad it." I told him to go head and because I want to know how bad the damage is with this. This shop was recommended to be and already I feel better. The guy is not going to charge me until he actually gets a better product than what it is right now. All in all, what do I have to say about Pacific Stereo, Thank You, Pacific Stereo. I really do appreciate the crappy job that you guys did in my truck and the $3000.00+ that you took from me. Ever since I left the shop, I have been disappointed in the work. I love my truck, but I got to be honest, I have thought about selling it because the mess that Pacific Stereo created. I am eager to go to this appointment next Tuesday to see how bad the job is. Pacific Stereo is probably reading this review right now and saying "Well he just voided the warranty." Well, I really don't give a crap about your warranty. I would not go back there again if something else happened to the system. I rather pay someone else to do it then waste my time there. Numerous times I taken the truck there, I was promised that the job would be done by 1800 (6PM) and waited till and hours past closing. Don't waste your time or money here, go somewhere else. Thank you, Pacific Stereo. read more

I was looking into getting a new radio system for my car and the customer service was very informative and helpful. I had initially called just for a quote however they were able to get me in right after and put it in for me that same day! I am very impressed with how fast they were able to get me in and out! I will most definitely be recommending this place to my friends and coming back! Thank you Pacific Stereo!! read more

Great customer service, clean instal, and many options to choose from. Joe explained the different routes and costs and could have sold me the most of expensive merchandise, but instead educated me on his products and how I could get the best sound for my buck! See Joe or Guss!!!! read more

I want to let the world and anyone in the Inland Empire know Chris Davis is "THE MAN"!!!! Why is because he has the best customer service I have ever seen. My Camaro kept having a problem that was so unusual with a dash kit. Chris Davis would not stop working to resolve the problem, he kept at it and kept at it, he got involved with the manufacture and had them send out another kit that was correct and he fixed the problem. He has always sold me nothing but quality and gives me the best price. He even makes sure you know how to operate you equipment fully before he lets you go. He is honest, and shows nothing but respect too everyone he comes across and that is so hard to find now days. Chris, you have my business for life, see you on my next vehicle read more

My wife got me a car stereo from here for Christmas. When I did the installation I thought I had a bad head unit and they shipped another one out to rural Texas asap. Turns out the issue was elsewhere and Andy couldn't have been more gracious about the whole thing. This was all at no cost to me. Highly recommended! read more

Andy replaced all 8 speakers in my Lexus ES and installed a 10" sub in the trunk for a phenomenal price. It sounds incredible and i wish i had gotten it sooner! Thank you guys for the new system :) read more

Pacific Stereo - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Riverside, California

If your looking for a car audio shop to do a minor install or a high end install Pacific Stereo Riverside can help you. I myself have been a car audio fan for many years as well as a db drag contender. Now that I'm older I went in looking for some good sound quality equipment. I purchased an Alpine PDX F6, Focal Utopia Be no'7's and an Alpine PXA H-800 sound processor. Keep in mind all of the items were in stock! How else dose this ? No one I've seen. Make sure you do your home work and no what your looking for, this helps. However if you don't no or your just not sure ask one of the helpful sales rep's. And if all else fails talk to the stores manager. He definitely provides (A) class Services, with (A) class products. read more

I never did update my review from 2013. Shame on me!!! Since getting my sons SSR done, I have had my F150 system done, my 2014 Harley Davidson Street Glide and my son's 2015 mustang tint completed. Not to mention I have sent 5 guys that I know for sure got work done and now are raving fans. Ask for Meemo and he will hook you up. I highly recommend! read more

My first visit here we had a miscommunication, but it was quickly resolved once it was realized. Andy did an amazing job at fixing my radio and speakers. He also helped us find a good warranty. I don't think my radio ever sounded this good. Andy also took the time to show me how everything worked and answered all my questions. I appreciated the extra time he took to ensure that I wouldn't have any issues with my new radio and speakers. I'm so happy with how my speakers turned out I'm showing everyone how amazing and clear they sound! They did a great job at listening to my issues and going above and beyond to ensure I had the greatest experience possible with them. Highly recommend you check them out. read more

My first time coming here and my overall experience was awesome. I met with Andy and told him what I was looking for. I needed a new stereo,speakers and was also interested in back up cameras for my 2002 toyota sequoia. He went over my various options for financing/buying the stuff I wanted and helped me get easily approved for $1,700. He helped me pick out a great kenwood touchscreen with bluetooth and backup camera which I might add was excellently installed,and I got my blown out speakers replaced with some new ones. I definitely reccomend these guys. read more

My brother brought his truck in last week because his radio decided to die. Chris was the guy that helped us and he did a wonderful job. Even put in new speakers that didn't have us selling off body parts to afford them. I would recommend this place not just for stereos, but other car needs. Thank you Thank you! read more

Make sure you know your price before you go, otherwise they will just rip you off as much as they can.

Thanks to Pacific Stereo on the issue I had with my system install. Pacific cares about the customer and most importantly the vehicle they work on. They really know how to meet customer satisfaction, and also provided one of the best services I have experienced. Thank you all once again. Fyi. Stereo system is boomin! read more

Best car and boat audio installation company ever!!!!!!!! These guys have installed a full system in my boat and just installed an amazing JL audio sub system in my SUV. I've had many systems installed in many different cars with other companies and was never 100% happy. With this company I got people who really care about my audio system as much as I do.They do top notch installations. Very very clean and dialed in perfectly! I'll never go with anyone else but these guys!!! Be sure to ask for Chris! read more

Andy made this experience quick and easy. I had already gotten a sub and he came and checked it out and showed me which amps would go with it. He was able to stay under my price limit and gave me a good deal with the amp and the whole wiring kit. read more

I called to ask about install on fog lights. Obviously I have no clue about installing stuff or proper names or technical names of items etc - the guy that answered the phone and attempted to answer the question was very rude - they won't have my business. read more

For an early Father's Day surprise I purchased a wake tower, kicker tower speakers and amp from a place I thought was reputable in Canyon Lake. Long story short, after our first time out on the water, two of the speakers would not work. Because the place in Canyon Lake had messed up so many things on our boat, we refused to take it back to them. I called Joe, told him all our issues. After he took one look at the boat, he recommended a complete re-wire and a back up battery. Joe kept in contact with us throughout the process. When we picked our boat up, it's as though we were hearing our speakers for the first time. The wires were no longer visible, and the fire hazard of what that place in Canyon Lake did was gone. Thank You Joe. read more

Work with ANDY We stopped by here to upgrade our factory stereo in our 2015 Mirage and to get the windows tinted. Andy understood what we needed and provided us with great service from start to finish making sure we knew how to use the stereo with our ios devices. Thanks Andy read more

Got my windows tinted here. Decent job but you just have to be specific!! I told them I wanted the front windows tinted (car has the main glass and those stupid little winglets), they brought it back with the winglets untouched. Really?! So I had to wait again an pay more for them to finish the job. Even with that the entire wait and price wasn't bad. Usually this would be a three star review but after reading some of the boneheaded clueless reviews from people that don't understand how car audio works and left low scores I felt the need to add a star to offset. Great selection of audio equipment, if I didn't do my own audio work I'd seriously consider this place. read more

Went in to get a new stereo and sub+amp install. Was quoted $500 over the phone went in the next day and spent $640 including tax for a kenwood excelon double din stereo and basic 12" sub and 500amp so was a little upset but a week later system still runs good. Overall: Pricing was okay, customer service was pretty good, install took about 2 hours. Advice: Negotiate the install price. I added up the actual cost of the materials used for my car and it came out to around $400. So you do the math. 4-11-17 Update Review These guys are here for you and won't let you leave feeling unsatisfied with your purchase. The whole crew, Andy, Joe, and Chris will take care of you. read more

I want to thank Andy for his help at Pacific Stereo.
