I can't believe how easy it was to get the exact stereo and installation kit for my trucks I will definitely use them again. All equipment was received on time and in perfect condition. 5 stars if there was a sixth they would get it.

Everything was great except for the generic install instructions. I have a 2013 Kia Sorent Ex with navigation and infinity sound system. The directions tell you to drill out the rivets holding the old speakers in, but there are no rivets, the speakers are bolted in and If I remember correctly can be removed ith an 11 mm socket. Did have to drill new holes for the install though because the speaker adapter from scooche didn't line up at all. Everything else was great though, will def buy again.

Great Experience
May 27, 2020

I have to give Critchfield a lot of credit. My Kenwood Bluetooth stereo receiver was easy to install and came with all hardware and trim pieces I needed to install it. I have always thought Crutchfield was higher that other places but with what you get and the instructions that came with it I found they are comparable to others. Thank you for the fine service and the quick shipping. I love it. - Raymond

Great Trust
May 26, 2020

I've been dealing with Crutchfield for years. My first purchase was back in 1979. The advisor's never cease to amaze me with their passion and knowledge. I don't think I have ever called in with an order where it didn't turn into a great conversation. Every product I've purchased for my vehicles fit perfectly. Any piece of home audio has been a good experience.

I had never used Crutchfield before, but I needed a new Subwoofer for my Home Theater and have been seeing their ads for a while. Looked on their site, great selection, great prices and super easy user interface to order and pay. They shipped it FOR FREE...( amazing) and it got here in 2 days. Got instant confirmation after ordering, update when it shipped and it arrived in great shape. Sooooo Easy. Going to replace my receiver soon Nd I'll go back to them for sure.

Crutchfield = Easy
May 24, 2020

Why waist time and gas driving around to different big box stores, and stores that sell electronics, just to find out they don't have what you're looking for. With Crutchfield free 3 day shipping and competitive prices, (usually lower) get what your looking for and have it delivered to your front door. They have amazing products and awesome customer service. I've been a customer for years and have zero regrets.

Once again, Crutchfield assisted me with with it's great advice and support regarding my system. Although not always the case, this session resulted in a product purchase that was delivered when and where they promised. It also fit in exactly as they said it would. Thanks once again guys.

Ordered the JBL Flip 5 portable speaker and love it! Over the years I have ordered many components from Crutchfield, including 3 pairs of larger speakers! I have never been disappointed with any purchase. Everything has arrived well packaged and in great shape! And I love the packing peanuts that I can dissolve in the kitchen sink. Their online reviews are very helpful, making their site a great place to do research--real research! Good people, good company, I'll be back!

Just to start i like that you can put your vehicle in and it gives you all things needed for your vehicle. Shipping was hands down super fast. Very informative. I ordered a radio for myself. Liked the service and fast shipping that I bought another radio for my wife vehicle. Would recommend and order from here again soon.

Ken wood DMX125BT
May 18, 2020

First Great support from the people who answer the phone. The Kenwood performs better then advertised. Installation in a 1999 Celica. My daughter had it mirroring her android cell phone before I had the dash put back. Sounds great. Controls are intuitive.
