    Sooo glad I found this place tired of getting the run around at several stereo shops and then I met Dean at his 35 year long San Clemente location. Dean was busy working on a boat system but he took the time to put together a great system for my sons 4 Runner. He put together a head unit, 4door speakers,sub, amp , dash cam rear view mirror all at a fair price for all the items and installation. I love to support local small businesses the backbone of our country. Ed Mac

    Excellent service! I wanted to modernize my 2006 Dodge Charger's stereo and sound system. With inventory hard to find, they were able to locate a Pioneer head unit. My new stereo sounds awesome. I highly recommend them for any of your car audio needs!

    Happy customers

    Great job on my car stereo. Found out my front speakers needed to be replaced and added that in at a fair price. Glad I went here.

    I took my car into West Coast Auto Sound and had an amazing experience working with Farouk…read more I have a BMW and wanted to completely upgrade the sound system without losing the clean factory look. Farouk walked me through everything and recommended going with a full Focal setup, speakers, amp, and proper tuning. You can tell he actually cares about sound quality and not just making a sale. The install came out super clean, everything looks OEM, and the sound is on another level. Crisp highs, strong midrange, and the bass hits perfectly without being overwhelming. Exactly what I was looking for. Communication was solid the whole time, no surprises, and they delivered exactly what was promised. If you're thinking about upgrading your system, ask for Farouk, he knows his stuff and takes care of you.

    I paid over $600 to increase my car's radio volume. I clearly stated that sound quality was not the…read moreissue--only the overall volume. I also explained that I already had a new amp but was concerned it may not have been properly installed by my husband, and I asked that it be assessed as part of the labor. I was told the amp would be evaluated and that, if needed, the head unit could be bypassed to address any volume limiter. The salesperson continued to recommend new speakers. I agreed to replace the speakers, but I was clear that the amp assessment not existing poor sound quality was the issue. The volume issue was not resolved. The system is not louder, which was the sole purpose of the visit. I would not be raising this concern about the cost with the new speakers if the volume had actually increased. I did not pay to improve sound quality, and the current sound quality is worse than before. I was charged for a solution that did not match the problem or the agreed scope of work, and the original issue remains unresolved.

    Approximately one year ago I had LCA do an installation on my 2020 Lotus Evora. Konstantin assured…read moreme they were expert at exotic car installation so I scheduled them to do the install at my home. The quality, for the most part, of the components (new speakers, subwoofer, amplifier, etc) they used were great. The problem was the installer (not Konstantin) who really had no idea what he was doing. He had to come three times to try and correct his substandard mistakes which, ultimately, did not provide me with the set-up I wanted. First of all I wanted to be able to plug in an MP3 player that didn't have Bluetooth and that never happened. Secondly I wanted to be able to use Bluetooth for another MP3 player. Apparently he was unaware that my Alpine stereo already came with Bluetooth so he installed an additional Bluetooth. He did attempt to install a wired adapter for the non-Bluetooth MP3 player but in doing so he eliminated my ability to use the speaker for phone calls so that was a no go. Do you think he'd remove the wiring after learning it wasn't an appropriate patch? No, he left it there and detached it from the pre-amp. And the preamp was a discontinued 6 channel that as it turned out was entirely unnecessary. I learned all this because my system started clipping at normal volumes out of the blue. I took my car over to a local audio company thinking that maybe it was a loose wire (actually finding out one of the wires to the passenger side speaker had come loose) only to discover the extent of the screwed up installation. They showed me that under the carpet of the trunk a whole mess of unattached wiring had been left as garbage when the original installer discovered his efforts weren't working. That's when I learned of a multitude of screw-ups by this guy: 1. As I mentioned the preamp (about $150.00) wasn't necessary 2. He didn't bother to either insulate or use enough screws to secure the subwoofer 3. The subwoofer was wired as if it was a regular speaker so it wasn't performing the function it was meant for 4. He could have easily, if he knew what he was doing, tapped into the Alpine stereo to add wiring so I could use my non-Bluetooth MP3 player After spending $3,000 with LCA I am PISSED OFF that they did such a substandard job that ended costing me an additional $680 ($180 for troubleshooting and $500 to correct the mistakes) to fix their fuck-ups. Insulation was installed behind the subwoofer and secured appropriately. The preamp was removed and I threw it away since it was a discontinued product. New wiring was installed from the amplifier to the speakers. A wire harness was installed with a jack from the stereo so I could use my Bluetooth MP3 player. The redundant Bluetooth unit was removed, etc. All I can say is don't trust this company with your audio needs because they have no idea what they are doing!

    I ended up coming down to Bristol Sound in Santa Ana with my daughter, who was getting new speakers…read moreand a dash cam installed in her Dodge Charger. I had actually heard about this place from friends who recommended it to me a few years ago, and now I understand why. I was very impressed with the large selection of inventory and, more importantly making sure we were happy with everything before we left. The entire staff was accommodating and friendly, especially ALEX. He was very knowledgeable, took his time explaining everything to my daughter, and made sure she understood exactly what was being done and what her options were. The work was completed quickly, everything was done very clean and professionally, and a great deal. They even gave us a couple of T-shirts, which was a nice touch. Overall, we had a great experience from beginning to end. It is hard to find a business that combines good prices, knowledgeable employees, a large selection, and genuinely good customer service. I would recommend Bristol Sound to anyone looking to have this kind of work done on their vehicle.

    BRISTOL SOUND IS THE REAL DEAL!…read more I recently purchased a 2027 vehicle and brought it to Alex and his team at Bristol Sound in Santa Ana to completely upgrade the look and sound and WOW... they absolutely delivered! I had window tint installed all the way around, including the windshield, subwoofers, and 24" rims and tires, and let me tell you... SHE LOOKS AMAZING! The transformation is incredible, and the work speaks for itself. What really stood out to me was the entire experience. Alex and his staff were knowledgeable, honest, professional, and extremely easy to communicate with. They kept me informed throughout the process, gave me a great price, and most importantly, the workmanship was impeccable. You can tell they take pride in what they do and don't cut corners. The attention to detail was on point, everything was done with precision, and the final result exceeded my expectations. Definitely 10 STARS If you're looking to upgrade your vehicle whether it's tint, wheels, sound, or a complete transformation I highly recommend Bristol Sound in Santa Ana! Take your vehicle to Alex and his team. You'll be glad you did!

Mike answered all of my questions in a timely manner and answered my many, many questions and had competitive pricing. The process of setting up my appointment and paying for the services was easy and instant. On the day of the install staff met with me and were very courteous and professional. The install was much quicker than I expected. Luis, the technician, explained how the system worked, and he was also very patient with my numerous questions and was friendly and attentive the entire time. After leaving the shop, I noticed a rattling sound coming from inside the car. I spoke with Mike and explained the sound and he asked for me to return to the shop. Upon arrival Mike had Luis immediately take the car to be reviewed once I described the sound, and luckily was able to record the sound on video. The entire time Mike spoke with me and assured me that his technicians are experts and that they would figure it out. Mike was very receptive to my concerns and took them seriously. Within minutes Luis found that the issue were clips in the roof of the car that had nothing to do with the install, and he replaced them for free! Not only did they do an amazing job installing their products, but they explained the functions, and when faced with a problem, they fixed it instantly and for free even when it was not their fault. I highly recommend Newport Sound, and ask for Mike for any of your car sound and security needs. These are the family owned businesses that deserve everyone's support because of their excellent customer service and expertise. Thank you Mike and Luis!

    Really nice people. Work was done fast, and for a great rate compared to other shops. I got a…read moredashcam installed, and while (so far) everything functions well, I was a bit puzzled by the position of the dash cam. It was put right in the middle of my windshield, which caused quite a visual distraction, and depending on who tells you, could be against California code regarding dashcam placement. When I got home, I repositioned the camera to one of the spots recommended by the manufacturer, next to the rearview mirror and out of direct line of sight. Another questionable choice, they cut a slot into the plastic that covers my cruise control wires instead of routing cables through the already present gap between the rear view mirror and plastic cover. This could be on me as well, as I never discussed preferred camera position with the business. I took a picture of the cut they made, as well as a picture with a red X to show where the camera was originally placed. Those choices, while a bit puzzling didn't really bother me enough to go back as ultimately I wanted my camera to be properly connected, and cables nicely routes and invisible. Newport Sound did all this perfectly and I am very happy with that. While this won't stop me from coming back myself, it is worth noting for other potential customers.
