Bill and his staff are very friendly, knowledgable, and efficient. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with a friendly face and they were more than willing to help make a detailed plan for how I wanted to improve my audio system. I felt that they were extremely fair and honest when it came down to choosing components and helped put together something that was in my price range and never tried to upsell me or push me into something I wasn't comfortable in. Getting a work estimate was an incredibly easy process and they were able to get me into an appointment as quick as a few days. On the day of my install, the staff were quick to get me in and out and went into detail to reassure me of what was being installed. They were so gracious and they communicated well when my previously installed equipment (totally my fault) needed some TLC due to corrosion and a few missing parts. They took care of all the extra work and didn't charge me extra. Upon pickup I thought I would just be driving off with my newly upgraded set up but they spent the time having me sit in the car and play it out to make sure that I was 100% satisfied with the tuning and setup. They even removed the seat to further continue tuning the audio just to my liking. This is the type of service that sets these guys apart from so many others, they truly go above and beyond to make sure that you are satisfied and are happy with your purchase. I highly suggest visiting Progressive Auto Sounds to get any audio or security work done on your vehicle. I honestly wish that I've seen them years ago to get all this work done. I'm already looking forward to my next upgrade with you to further improve my daily drives to town in my STI. Thank you again! read more

Quoted me $612 to install a 8" sub for just LABOR. WTF. $175/hour labor. 3.5 hours to install? Brah.

Bill and the team are knowledgeable, honest and extremely helpful. They took the time to thoroughly explain my sound upgrade options. I wanted to transfer equipment from my old car to my BMW X3. They went above and beyond to contact the manufacturer to confirm wire harness adapters needed and tuned my DSP. As an added convenience, they also let me borrow their loaner for two days. Their work is professional and communication was excellent! read more

Bill and Sherwin were extremely helpful with helping to diagnose what was going on with my alarm. They were able to update and fix the issue. They were also able to point out a potential problem with corrosion. I've always gotten my alarms through Progressively Auto Sounds. I highly recommend them. read more

Bill and is crew are the best, Decades in the sound game. Very good work and tight sound, I highly recommend progressive auto sounds.

2025 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss- I brought my truck in for Bill to take a look because he did an amazing job on my f150 I had a few years ago.Bill takes the time to really do his research and explain every step in the process.The stock stereo in the 2025 Chevy Colorado is really bad and you can only really hear the music playing from the dash.So Bill recommended a few things and after a sub ,amps and using the stock speakers being amplified,my truck is incredible.The sound quality is amazing and can't thank Bill and his staff enough.Thanks again,Matt Mondragon read more

Bill and his crew are patient, friendly, and very professional. They explain everything thoroughly and installation was super fast - better than factory! read more

The team is very knowledgeable in their art. I liked how they explained and walked me through step by step of the service and the price. They also gave me recommendations for my vehicle with quote that I can look into doing for the future. read more

I visited Progressive Auto Sounds for my Camry. Although I didn't know what I wanted, having only had some speakers and a head unit installed in my old Civic, Bill walked me through a number of options. He explained the sound quality and how I would notice it for each option, and he priced a system based on what I explained as my listening type and volume goals. The system that Bill built was an amp and sub tied into my factory radio, and it came in well under my expected cost. Unfortunately, the amp (Kenwood X502) that Bill priced was on backorder, and after giving it a couple of weeks I asked Bill if there was another setup that would accomplish the same thing without too much of a price increase. He priced a different system (using JL Audio amp/sub) that was a couple hundred dollars more than the first system, with higher output on the amp and most of the other features we had discussed being the same. I asked him when he could install the system and he gave me a same-day slot. After installing the system, he let me try out a couple of different sized subs to ensure that I got the sound that I wanted. All told, the system was $1,800 including all parts and labor, and I am very pleased with the sound of the system. The way that Bill took time to explain the differences in the options and to make it easy to understand for a non-technical person like me was a huge relief. I priced the parts that Bill included in the build and his prices are actually cheaper than what I could find online. I will definitely return whenever I have a need for any future car audio work; Bill and his team did a great job and they have earned my trust. read more

I stopped by progressive sounds because my sub amp blew a fuse Bill fixed it on the spot it only took a few minutes I thanked him and asked him what subwoofer would he recommend because the 12"t1 sub I had was really old Bill let me try out 2 jl factor boxes a 10w6 and a 12w6 After test fitting and listening to both boxes I was sold on the 12w6 it play super clean and loud I highly recommend Progresive auto sound they go the extra mile to make sure you know what your options are and don't pressure you Thanks bill read more

I was interested in upgrading my sounds and installing an alarm in a 2022 4Runner. After doing research on Yelp, I ended up walking into Progressive for some info. Bill was so informative and explained all of my options. He took his time and spent well over 30 minutes with me. Bill and his team do excellent work and best of all, Bill stands behind his work. I felt like a valued customer and will for sure be back when I need more. Customer service is A+, I highly recommend this shop. read more

Progressive Auto Sounds - JL Audio Stealth Box - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Can't thank Bill and the crew at Progressive Auto Sounds enough!! I'd like to to think I'm a car enthusiast and I've enjoyed the little things I've done to my car (lowering springs, wheel spacers, resonator delete) but I don't know anything about car audio. As I've been fortunate to have been working through this ongoing pandemic, I decided I wanted to look into the possibility of upgrading my stock stereo system somehow. Now I listen to a variety of music in my car (80s Rock, 90s Hip Hop, EDM, movie score soundtracks, piano compositions) and I had noticed I usually have the volume up 3/4 to max level almost all the time and some songs I would want it a little louder but it would already be maxed out. So I began to send out YELP messages/emails/called a few of the local car audio shops on island to inquire. Then i received an email from Bill and I was immediately impressed with his knowledge. He helped steer me in what I should be thinking of in terms of the car audio experience in my car. He even suggested I try free trial/upgrading to Amazon HD first to really test out the sound quality in my car....and this was all before I had the chance to visit in person. When I did come in person a few days later, Bill took the time to actually listen to some songs in my car and pointed out that my Audi's system was already pretty good and recommended a 10" ported JL Audio Microsub+ that would provide the missing low end bass I was looking for. I agreed and I was able to schedule for install about a week later. So on install day, I drop off my car and the guys started on my car immediately. Bill actually offers a loaner vehicle for you to use during the install so I happily obliged and it was nice to go out and kill time/have lunch while I waited. Install was complete actually earlier than I had anticipated and I drove back to the shop excited to try out the new sub! Once I tried it out, I was blown away!! The JL Audio amplified sub was everything I had been missing in my system plus more!! Hahaha. Super impressed with JL Audio and Bill and his team at Progressive Auto Sounds. Smooth process through and through ( communication, customer service, professional install ) and not once did I feel like I was being upsold to something I really didn't need in my car in terms of my listening experience. Highly recommend if you're a newbie to car audio like me or if you're a seasoned Audiophile. Lol. read more

Progressive Auto Sounds - JL Audio ACP110LG-TW1 - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

I've done 6 vehicles all with Progressive. Bill is awesome. Super low pressure and highly knowledgeable. Bill also breaks things down so you can understand. I highly recommend Progressive for all you car audio needs!! read more

These guys really know their stuff when it comes to sounds or car alarms or what I came in for - dash cams. I bought my own dash cam and they installed it for me for a labor charge. They didn't carry the one I wanted but I bought mine on Amazon and it was a popular dash cam so they knew everything about it and were able to do it quickly. They are friendly, patient, and they have been around forever. They have really cute dogs too. They will give you some advice as well if you need it because I came in several times before I decided to have them do my install. read more

We needed a reverse sensor installed and one of the business in the area recommended Progressive Auto Sounds. They did a great job, and the price was very reasonable. If you don't mind not matching the sensors to the color of your car, you can get the service done for less than $400, but if you want color match it cost you an extra $100 I believe. The workers were very professional and they installed my equipment on the same day. If I need a stereo installed in my car, I'll definitely be back here! Mahalo Bill and crew! read more

Great service and knowledge, I simple installation for a reverse camera and rewiring, but received a whole lot more, unmatched

My good friend recommended me to see these guys. I'm sure glad he did. Bill and his guys took good care of me. Thank you Bill for listening to my needs. Along with Garrett, they got me what I needed to make my car sound awesome. Thank you to Sherwin and his nephew Evan and the rest of the crew for the installation and tuning of my car. I'll be back when it's time for my other car or other additional upgrades to the current one. I appreciate the updates and follow through. These guys, hands down, know their stuff so please see them for your car Audio needs. read more

It has been over 3 weeks now post installation of a new audio system from Progressive Audio. I am extremely satisfied with my experience and the quality of work that Progressive Audio provided me. I did a full system upgrade, deck, 6 speakers, amp and sub. Bill took the time to show me the products, explained each component, explained the process of installation, gave me the run down of all my what's and why's. Bill was excellent to deal with and extremely knowledgeable. Bill's team of installers were quick, professional, kept the car pretty clean, and were also patient enough to answer my questions and they made sure that I knew how everything worked when the installation was finished. Progressive Audio was recommended to me by a few people I work with and I am glad I listened to coworkers and decided to go to Progressive Audio. Thank you Bill and crew. read more

Progressive Auto Sounds is huge upgrade from the other car stereo shop on Kamehameha in Aiea! The owner sat me down and took the time to explain my options. Their service was quick and clean. The technicians were all friendly and patient with me, explaining all the awesome features of my new deck. The owner even gave me suggestions on how to ask Kenwood to checkout my new, old (16 month old) broken deck. Did the other shop really install a new deck? I know he tried to sell me a "refurbished" one. As a consumer I would never know. read more

After checking out couple shops and getting some information and prices. My third stop was progressive auto sound coming from Mililani. If I knew what I know now, it would have been my first and only stop. The owner Bill was very knowledgeable and didn't try and sell me anything I didn't need. In fact he recommended adding power to my factory speakers before changing anything out. 2022 Civic Sport. They added a single JL amp and a Dual 8" JL sub box. That's all I needed to have my below average sound system come to life. Installation was quick, and he even gave me a loaner to run my errands while they worked on the install. I would recommend going there and talking to Bill as your first stop when you're thinking about car audio. I'll never go to another Car Audio shop again. Thank you Bill, Devin, and Sherwin. That's why you're still the best after 30 years. read more

They say you get what you pay for and yes I learned that the hard way. You should always believe in "Cry once, buy once" I would like to thank Bill for his sharp knowledge and his awesome crew for the great customer service and installation. Bill gave me a lecture about alarm systems that I didn't even know about and I was real amazed. I came in to get my aftermarket alarm redone and upgraded because I wasn't to happy with an install from a previous shop I had done work with. I had a Viper DS4+ installed with remote start and GPS and it worked great and the install was clean and done properly. I highly recommend anyone to this shop, although there is a backlog on appointments, the wait is way worth it than just stopping by any shop that will do it in less than an hour. read more

Simply Top Notch! People say "they too expensive!!" But go ahead and deal with them, and you'll know why! You get what you pay for! You.. Get.. what you Pay for!... Top Notch audio and i stall!! So Happy with my Purchase from them! People be asking me here is the sound coming from?!! Shit looks factory stock!! Lol I Will be back to add to what i believe is very very suffice system already!... but you know how that goes... read more

I purchased a Viper car alarm in 2015, and its worked without a hitch...until recently, and I thought I might've put it in valet mode, and couldn't find my owners manual etc. The alarm still locked my vehicle, but I called Progressive auto sounds, Aiea, and spoke with Bill. Without hesitation, he said come down, and lets get a look...same day, I arrived at 12ish...noon...and the in 15 minutes it was fixed. No charge, was in warranty. That is customer service Five Stars! Thanks to all the staff, and Bill. I will remember you on my next purchase! Aloha! read more

If you were to look up "Customer Service" in the dictionary, Bill's picture should be right there! Customer Service is truly a lost art, but Bill, Sherwin, Dawson, and the team understand what it means to service the customer. It's not about seeing how much money they can get out of someone, it's about interpreting what the customer wants and how to get there at the best price possible. It's about doing the research to understand how products fit and work together, not just slapping the most expensive item or latest tech gizmo in. Tesla's are notoriously finicky vehicles to work on, yet Bill made sure he fully understood the ramifications of what changing/adding different speakers, amps, etc. would do to the system. He took the time to determine that a truly great system relying on MP3 music wasn't going to cut it, so he ensured that an HD Audio source was put in, AND he took the time to explain it to me in terms that I would understand (he didn't just go all "propeller head" on me). I have watched him interact with other customers making sure each and every one of them felt as special as I did, and that they understood the products and how to use them, not just putting product in and letting the customers have to figure it out for themselves. Not just with me, but with other customers as well, I saw how Bill would actually DOWNSELL products that were overkill for what the customer wanted so that they wouldn't overspend. That kind of mentality is what builds the kind of loyalty that Progressive Auto Sounds enjoys! I couldn't be happier with the work that Bill and the team did on my Tesla. I'm just waiting for this pandemic to be over so I can show off their work to others so they can see what a truly premium sound system should sound and look like! It doesn't matter if you have a Tesla, a Toyota Tacoma, a Honda Fit or anything in between, Bill will find and develop a system that works for you. Rest assured that you will not need to shop any further than Progressive Auto Sounds to find what you are looking for in car audio or security AND get the best Customer Service on the island! Bill and the team are passionate about what they do, and it shows! read more

Awesome customer service from Bill and the crew. Bill help me plan out my next build for my 2020 Tacoma with the difficult JBL premium sound system. I gave them a big list and they were able to turn my vision into reality. I wanted to keep the stock deck that already came with andriod auto/car play, but with addition to speaker clarity and bass. They built a custom box in house. Relocated and rewired to fit a big system into a truck that can still seat 5. Were able to make connections that are plug and play with minimal cutting. Bill is very knowledgeable in the car audio game and makes recommended opinions without being pushy on sales. Sherwin and Dawson did a super clean install. Thanks Dawson for the coming on his day off to properly tune the system. All is much appreciated. There is a reason why they are book two weeks for appointments. Will be back for future upgrades. read more

Had a problem with the remote start, assumed I needed a new alarm system. I'm kinda hard on my Sequoia; its my daily driver and goes off road a couple times a month. Figured I broke something. Stopped by without an appointment, told Bill think I need a new alarm. He had one of his guys take a look, figured out the problem and fixed it. Offered to pay Bill, he said no. Excellent customer service! read more

Took my Jeep to Progressive after a crappy install done by another shop (Elite on the Kam). 1.) The 1st shop left gaps between the deck and mounting kit. The 1st shop also left gaps on the dash when they put it back together. 2.)Progressive pulled out the Clarion double din I was having issues with, replaced it with a Kenwood "dd" and did an awesome job putting everything back together. 3.)The owner was very informative about the Kenwood I took to them & gave me insight into new ways to listen to music on the new system. Overall, I am extremely HAPPY with the job they did!!!! THANKS A BUNCH GUYS!!! read more
