late October, I contacted Speaker Easy because I wanted a basic, affordable solution for Bluetooth or Apple CarPlay in my 2010 Range Rover. I told them upfront that the vehicle was inexpensive and I did not want to spend a lot of money on a stereo. Jacob at Speaker Easy told me he had a simple, effective, and reasonably priced solution. He referred me to a company called Emerald Integrations, identified the exact part needed, texted me the link, and told me to order it. Before buying anything, I even sent him a picture of the part to confirm I was ordering the correct item. He confirmed it. The part ended up being back-ordered, so it took about two weeks to arrive. Once it came in, I brought the vehicle to him expecting a straightforward plug-and-play install--because that's exactly how it was described to me. A few hours into the job, he called and said, "This is a lot of work, I have to completely take apart your dash." If the job required that level of teardown, I should have been told before anything was touched. He sent me pictures showing my entire dash completely disassembled. At that point, I had no real choice but to let him continue since the vehicle was already torn apart. I asked for a ballpark estimate. He told me they "usually charge $750 for the day." I was shocked--this was never mentioned upfront, especially after I had clearly said I didn't want to spend much. But the dash was already apart, so again, I had no options. Shortly after, he called again: the unit would not work, and he had no solution other than advising me to call Emerald Integrations. Emerald responded that they did not have a fix and recommended closing everything up so they could issue me a refund for the part. Jacob then told me he had to return my vehicle that same day because he was booked the next day, meaning he wasn't going to fix the issue regardless--he'd just reassemble the dash and hand the car back. When I arrived to pick up the vehicle, he informed me he would "discount" the charge from $750 down to $600. I was stunned. I ordered the exact part he told me to order, he confirmed it, he tore my entire dash apart, could not complete the job, provided no solution, and then charged me $600 anyway. I told him clearly this was not fair and asked him to reconsider. He refused and stated he would not issue any refund. In my opinion, this situation falls under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, and if I am not refunded, I will be seeking legal counsel to address the damages. I've been in this industry for decades and I have never dealt with a situation handled this poorly. Maybe he does quality work--I can't say, because he never completed the job. But charging someone hundreds of dollars after recommending the wrong part, confirming it, disassembling the entire dash, failing to install it, and giving no upfront estimate is, in my experience, unethical and unacceptable. If you choose to use Speaker Easy, I strongly recommend you get every detail in writing--the cost, the scope of work, what happens if the part doesn't fit, and what you are expected to pay. Otherwise, you may end up in the same situation I did. There are many honest and transparent shops out there. Based on my experience, this was not one of them. read more

I have a commuter car with a little extra sound in it that was installed by a car stereo shop in San Antonio, that lets just say, wasn't installed properly. I recently moved up to the Austin area and needed to find my sound system some TLC. I found SpeakerEasy on Google and scheduled an appointment. I needed an Audio Control LC7 installed and some tuning done on the system. SpeakerEasy wired it up, sent me pics of the progress midway through the install and gave me the rundown of the process when I picked it up. They did a clean job, enhanced my sound system night and day and even offered some suggestions on some small improvements that will go a long way. I highly recommend Jacob and the team at SpeakerEasy for your car audio install needs. I liked the job so much that I will be taking my truck in for its sound system upgrade as well! read more

Quick response to a an estimate and the work done was exactly what I wanted and delivered quicker than anticipated. Job well done!

My Alpine receiver showed that the music was playing but nothing coming out of my speakers. Saw this place got good reviews. One reviewer said that Jacob had a shop but closed down due to the Covid situation. So I thought I help Jacob out by having him trouble shoot my system.After he did the inspection Jacob said my Alpine receiver had gone bad. He said the chances of all my speakers all going bad at the same was unlikely which makes sense he also said that the chances of my Alpine amp going bad was unlikely. I asked him what he would charge to install a new one and also fix my backup camera and XM antenna, he quoted me $150.00.I got a new receiver and took it back to him to install and fix all my other components. After the install my system still wasn't working and said it was the Amp.I got my truck back without my XM antenna and without the weather stripping on my truck. back up camera not working. I was charged $250.00 after he quoted me $150.00 He also kept my Alpine receiver. I called him back so I could pick it up , he said he'll get it out of the trash a I could pick it up. Got it back had it checked out by Michael at Elusive Audio and it tested good. Michael also said they had a boom year during the Covid crises.my panel to my ashtray was also came back with broken pins.all in all a disaster. read more

Scheduled a week out confirmed evening prior and then sand bagged for a midnight slot. Seems to be a horrible practice of picking and choosing who's entitled to customer service in this car audio arena. read more

Chose this place due to the ratings but unfortunately my experience has not been good. I took my car in to have a stereo installed and Jacob only installed the stereo unit itself and not the Bluetooth or the external microphone. When I went to pick up the car he was explaining that it did not support IOS and that I would need a different stereo. He had also kept both mounting brackets, neither of which he stated would fit so I had to order another one and had to go back to have that put in. I asked him about the external mic to which he explained he did not have it but after insisting he had it he ended up finding it in his garage. And after the second visit the stereo is not working at all now and he will not see us until the 25th, so we have a stereo that doesn't work at all and he doesn't seem all that interested and actually sounded annoyed when I called to ask if we could swing by to have him look at it. He's also kept the two mounting brackets that did not fit he failed to return those and my husband installed the Bluetooth and that was an easy thing to do and I'm not sure why Jacob couldn't do it, at least for what I paid I expected more. I would not recommend this place. read more

Jacob came out and did one of the cleanest installs i have received, i will definitely recommend this company to everyone and i will be using them for all worm in the future! read more
