    More loose wires this time on the drivers side,note same type wiring as the left side.
    Sarah S.

    I was having constant stereo problems since paying Stereo Warehouse over 1600.00 for a basic installation that reused one of my existing amplifiers. I had a real professional look at the car and we ended up having to pretty much gut the whole car to get to the bottom of the issue. I was also having problems with the car not holding a charge. NO EXCUSE FOR USING DUCT TAPE TO ROUTE WIRING - The owner thinks anyone who complains is wrong - He is delusional if he thinks its okay to use duct tape to secure wires!! We found the problem!! Take a look at the pictures - THIS WAS THE HANDIWORK OF STEREO WAREHOUSE - i will be filing court papers as soon as Covid is over. I just discovered this - so the three year statute of limitations starts NOW. Do NOT frequent this business. DUCT TAPE, Shorts and Improper Grounding - no wonder I went through three batteries in 3 years!!

    My factory radio unstable from their install
    Travis H.

    I had a car stereo I owned and brought it in for them to install. I asked them to install the radio and fix the microphone and install a back up camera. Using this shop was a HUGE mistake. They placed my factory radio in the trunk of the car and didn't secure it probably so it bounces around and it will get damaged over time by moisture and then I won't have a radio. They also took out my factory amp and when I asked them to return it to it's factory location they never did. They also cut the wires to my factory subwoofer. I don't know why you would do that. On top of that they didn't even cover the wire with shrink wrap or electrical tape so it will short out when they touch each other. So they never fixed the microphone I asked them too they just moved it in to a new location and. Never tested it to ensure it works. They never fixed the radio it still shuts off and makes high pitched noises and goes blank for no reason. The wires behind the dash were spaghetti and just a complete mess they didn't even use Tessa tape to clean it up. Left my back seat not properly installed with wires hanging out. Now for some meat. They called me in the middle of the install to tell me my front speakers were blown. They never provided proof or showed me the destroyed speakers. I asked them if there was any problem with the type R's? They also explained to me they were ordering a part and I would " retain all factory controls". They installed $299 with a $120 fee to install, but never told me there was a fee to install them and the price of the speakers and the were supposed to be 6*9's not 6.5's. Never called me to verify. At the end of the day I returned to get my car and it was a HUGE amount and they guy selling me equipment is no where to be found. After explaining to them multiple times I wasn't paying for something I didn't approve, was never told about and they didn't show me the "damaged" ones even after asking. I got sick of going no where and they still were awaiting more parts for the car so I had to come back. I told them we will work on this bill when you fix my car completely. I left after because there was no point in staying they still had work to do they wouldn't listen to me they just told me to call the owner and it would take a week to get the parts. They called me and told me they were calling the police for non payment, but they hadn't finished the job. I couldn't answer my phone because I was driving and I had no hands free which they were told to fix and didn't nor did they make sure it did work before it left their shop. Before I got home my radio made an odd noise and then shut off after 10 seconds. Then later I got voicemails proving they never knew what type R's I wanted placed in they car and they just assumed what I asked for. They put in the wrong size. I spoke with the owner and he wouldn't budge just told me he would give me a future discount and only $50 off today, however there was a $400 discrepancy and they haven't completed the job, but they want me to still pay immediately and they kept on saying they already filed a police report. I returned to pay them for their incomplete work and told them I was getting a high pitched sound and the radio shuts off as well as the radio goes blank for no reason. The radio was still under warranty as I bought it a two months earlier for a car that was totaled. I told the owner I didn't want those type R's, but again they never replaced them with a proper set. I would never pay $120 to put speakers in I can do it myself they come basically all ready set up. When I returned with my vehicle the following week the third time to get the additional parts place in the vehicle and the speakers removed as well as my factory amp into its factory location as well as hopefully they would finally fix my microphone they called me and said they were done. The harness they put in did not in fact maintain all of my factory controls as they stated. I had to purchase an additional harness to complete their work. when I asked them about it they told me it was gonna be $125 to install it I told them to piss off. I explained to my credit card company about the horrible job they did and then I would have to take it somewhere else just to fix their "professional work". They wrote the credit card company and said I was belligerent and I signed the receipt so I have to pay. The credit card company wrote me and said if I would like to continue to dispute I would have to go somewhere else to verify the poor workmanship of the shop. When I took it to the other shop to have them take a look at it they were appalled and showed me all the things listed in this review so there was way more I didn't even know about. It definitely was not $900 worth of work, but that's what they tried to charge me. LDTR; don't go here for an install. $900 for a radio & dash cam install I provided them with.

    My wife took her car there and had nothing but problems. The staff and the owner were never "available" to discuss issues and I pretty much stayed out of it -until yesterday. We finally dug into the issue and found that most of the installation was held up with duct tape and screws that almost punctured the frame and came close to punching through a power feeder cable. So much extra wire and power cords - open circuits and improper grounds. Just a mess. We are fixing it correctly now, but we will be filing complaints with the State Attorney Generals Office and BBB. MR Dutton - what is your excuse for DUCT TAPE - you are a con artist! See photo!!!

    Came here twice to get my stero installed, I paid $200 for this. I should get my money back
    Mimi W.

    .. very unethical.. don't waste ur money on this place. i came here more then twice two get this fixed. owner told me to fuck off.. i want my $200 back for the installation, apparently they dont know what their doing..

    ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE-SHOPPER BEWARE!!! These people are total Shysters! I recently went to Stereo Warehouse and I am a fan of JBL speakers. I bought 2 boxes of 6/9s and I made an appointment to have the speakers installed a week later. When I showed up for my appointment, the owner talked me out of the JBL and said you need Hurst Speakers (stating these were the best). I trusted his judgement and so I purchased the Hurst Speakers, a deck, an AMP and the wires to connect it all. After installation, I came to pick the car up and upon driving home the deck volume knob (actually the knob that has the settings for the deck itself) would not turn the volume up at all. So I called Stereo Warehouse and spoke to the owner and he said, "We'll fix it!" I ended up having to go out there 2 additional times for them to fix the problem. The problem was NEVER resolved. They did not refund my money and I had to buy the original JBL speakers out of pocket. I was told I would be refunded for the Hurst speakers and the deck. I had to bring them to him to be refunded. However, he would not give me the money back for labor and the horrible installation. I ended up having to get a new installer to put taker out the Hurst speakers and deck to return them to get my money back. The new installer told me that this is the WORST install he has ever seen and helped me to take pictures for reference. I am completely disappointed. The owner and installation employee said that I need to see a doctor and have some help. I am disabled and I have a brain injury, and I feel that this is TOTAL Discrimination and I am going to file a claim with ADA. There is no reason these people should be in business with the way they treat their customers. This is stealing from the consumer and making them feel that it is their fault due to a disability.

    I love Stereo Warehouse. I have made quite a habit of going here for small things like wiring to large stuff like speakers, subs, boxes etc. Every person that works here is super nice and helpful. Sometimes I will just have relatively stupid questions regarding my custom stereo and nobody ever rolls their eyes or seems uninterested. Everyone knows my name here and makes sure I leave with a smile knowing I made a good purchase decision. Help small businesses like Stereo Warehouse stay alive. They have all kinds of things from stereos, ignition interlock, window tint, back up cams and more. Always happy to shop here and give them my money. Shout out to Manny and the rest of the team for always doing a fantastic job. Thanks Stereo Warehouse DJ (customer for life)

    Bad installation of rear speakers 6X9 and used Drywall Screws for installation.

    Ignore my post as Stereo Warehouse ask but take a look at the PICTURES See Good Work/Crappy Work Dont waste your Tax Returns Here Be Aware of shotty work, check out video on Facebook Stereo Warehouse I recently had a bunch of work done at Stereo Warehouse in Seattle it took 3 days to complete or so I thought. I had Alarm with Auto Start, Truck Release, Deck, Backup Camera, Amplifier and wiring, Front and Rear Speakers it was too much work for them to handle and now I have to leave the car a 4th day for them to fix their mistakes my advise is to find a more reputable company. In fact I was having a good experience with the owner Doug Dutton nephiew Mannie but Doug must have gotten mad the kid made the big sale the gentleman Manny built my system and it rocks he knew what he was talking about but Doug had to kick him out and F it all up him self. Manny if you see this yours talented find a different company than your uncle's, Manny I told you I was happy with your vision of my system.

    This group of gentlemen is funny as all hell. They also were very knowledgeable and professional. I have purchased 2 car stereos, for two different vehicles from Stereo Wharehouse over the last 8 big months. The first was around $1,700 the latter of the two, I spent upwards of $3.5k all said and done... I love my remote start and other features upgrading my alarm and audio system has allow3d!

    READ ENTIRE REVIEW. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. In Dec 2020, I Bought a '19 Tacoma. Had them install an alarm. Worked well. Price was right. They also installed the dash cam. Happy with work. *February 2021, I had to return the Tacoma because of some Toyota issues so I purchased a 2021 Tacoma. Before I returned the 2019 Tacoma, I paid Stereo Warehouse to remove the alarm. *I brought in my 2021 to have the alarm installed but it was found to not work with that truck and since it's so wirelessly connected, I didn't need it anyway. That money was gone and it was a lot. They did, however, install an amp and new speakers. I also had them install a new dash camera system which has a front facing camera and a rear facing camera. This is where the problems started. *I had them install a power supply in the dash because I didn't want any wires showing. I provided the camera wires but they supplied the power supply. when I left the shop, the camera kept cycling on and off. I didn't even leave the parking lot before I pointed this out to the install tech. We plugged the camera into the accessory port in the dash and it worked. Turns out, the power supply i purchased from them was faulty. No one's fault but they didn't have time to change it out so I had to wait a few weeks to return. I rarely drive my truck so this wasn't too much of a hassle. *I was advised by Brian and Luis, the install techs, to purchase the direct wire kit from the company for the dash cameras so I did. Scheduling the install was a pain because Dutton said he wanted the truck on a Friday as it was their least busiest day. *While on a trip to the coast, less than just a few hundred miles later, my electronic stability light illuminated on the dash. My truck has only 2000 miles at this point. The light stayed on and that warranted a visit to the dealership. It was discovered that the wiring and the power supply that was installed in the dash was interfering with the button that turns on and off the ESC. I was also shown that all the clips were broken on the panel that covers the wiring and would not go back into place without buying new clips. That's not that big of a deal but the biggest problem that was pointed out to me was the headliner was coming down on the driver's side. when I called Dutton to discuss this, he said it would be addressed when I brought it in for the rewiring. *I ended up having to wait until the end of July to do this because of scheduling. Again, I rarely drive my truck so at this point it still has only about 3,000 miles total. When I brought it in, I talked to Brian who was going to be handling this repair. I told him about the falling headliner and he said Dutton would take care of it even if it involved taking my truck to an upholstery place. When I got my truck back later that day, everything seemed to be working as it should and the headliner was back in position. *Just a week later, the headliner detached again. I noticed they used double stick tape to reattach it and I also noticed it was bent in a way that it'll probably NEVER go back to it's original position. I called the shop and was asked to e-mail a photo of the headliner and then to call Dutton to make arrangements to have it addressed. I did. Attached is the photo taken the day I emailed it as well as a screen shot of the app showing my truck had only 3,576 miles so it's not like I was using this a lot. Again, i rarely drive it so i was never in a hurry to have the issues addressed and Fridays were the only days I could bring it in. *Last week, I noticed the dome light did not work. I don't think I've ever tried it after the camera was installed because it's just not something I use that often. I called Dutton this morning and told him the dome light didn't work and the headliner had fallen down again. *He said, "we can't fix the headliner. You brought your own camera for us to install it so I can't help you with that. we'll fix the light for free though". ***OUTRAGEOUS*** If the wiring for the camera wouldn't work through the headliner of the truck, don't attempt to install it. it's a really simple way to avoid future problems. I was told the cord was a little too long to the rear camera and it had to be snaked through the headliner and this is why the headliner was not going back into position. The option of not installing as a result was not given to me or else I would have said no and gone with a different camera. this is something the install tech should have told me instead of proceeding and ruining my new truck. Instead, the headliner was damaged beyond would he would accept responsibility for. My truck was $42,500 and had less than 200 miles on it when I brought to them. This will forever be a scar I will have to live with until I either pay someone else a LOT to fix it (small claims?) or trade it in.

    I have a 2009 Acura RDX and was told by one of the employees to order an amplifier online since it'll be cheaper and to go to install it here, and was wondering how long it'll take? And was told the labor would be 80$, is that true?

    They are right about the amp. Crutchfield.com is a great place to look. I can't say anything about the install fee but I don't doubt it as Stereo Warehouse is very reasonably priced

In today's world with so many purchase options, it's imperative to have great service w/ in-home demo options. Connon will work closely w/ you to insure you have the best sound system and set up for your listening environment.

    I've been in the shop a few times in the last few years and purchased a Rega turntable and phono…read morepreamp in 2020. Each of my visits were with a friend of mine who has been a customer for many years who pre-arranged our visits. Connon has been amazing setting up multiple options and swapping out components so we could listen to the differences in various turntables, preamps, amps, speakers, subs, etc. for my listening room project which I hope to complete this year (summer 2024). Although I haven't personally taken advantage of his offer yet, Connon is willing to buy back equipment for upgrades (less than full price). This lowers the cost and burden of experimentation on the journey to build an amazing audiophile listening experience. Four years in and I'm still super happy with my Planar 6 turntable. Connon gave me a great deal on a demo model with a pre-installed Ania moving coil cartridge on which I've played hundreds of records. I don't know of a better place to shop in Seattle for HiFi sound equipment. Note: I noticed a handful of reviews complained about the hours (not open Sunday-Tuesday), lack of immediate personal greeting, or a verbal caution when interacting with expensive equipment like a $5K cartridge. I haven't experienced the same, but I've only been to the store on pre-arranged visits when we knew Connon would be here. That said, I don't compare this store with a typical "walk in, buy something, and leave" store that's open every day, has prices marked on everything, but virtually no expertise to help you make the best purchase decisions. With a little patience, you can get the most personalized service available, great deals, and fantastic products. Highly recommend!
