Great products and great customer service. Cant wait to see the reaction of family members on a few of my purchases when they get opened on Christmas day.

Purchase new speakers
December 2, 2018

The web site was easy to navigate and the tact that I could compare the sounds of the different speakers was a big Plus

Easy to deal with...
December 1, 2018

My purchase from Crutchfield couldn't have been any easier! I did everything online, as I did plenty of research before making my actual purchase. My order was shipped promptly, and arrived as promised. I couldn't be happier.
Now, as soon as it stops raining, I'll be installing the speakers I purchased. Common, sunshine!

Everything about using Crutchfield was an easy, simple process. They shipped the product out the same day it was ordered. The directions for installing the product were also easy and simple to use.

Awesome!
November 28, 2018

Great buying experience! My Denon AVR-X2400H was delivered on time, and then I got a price match to the Cyber Monday deal three weeks after the initial purchase. While I expected this, it was WAY easier than I anticipated.

In the days of poor customer service, Crutchfield still operates with old fashioned services. They actually study the products they sell and provide their expertise to you. Very clear, accurate and easy to understand instructions. I feel it's worth noting that their prices are excellent. Add to that, installation accessories are included at no additional cost and you don't have to look them up. They are automatically added to you cart when you select your products. A+++ company.

First time customer
November 26, 2018

I already made up my mind on what product I wanted. I'm retired and my budget is somewhat fixed. Having said all of that, the Crutchfield site allows you to select a product and get updated emails on it.

To my amazement, I received an email about 10 days later, letting me know that my product selection was on sale at exactly half price!

EZ payment, free shipping and no sales tax.

Everything that was promised, happened. That is somewhat rare today. Crutchfield is to be commended.

I'm going to be upgrading my system over the next several years and they will have 100% of my business. They have certainly earned it. What they did was instead of making you sale, they acquired a customer.

I could not be happier. The center channel speaker that I selected, turn my system on its ear.

Perfect transaction
November 24, 2018

I bought an expensive (for me anyway) camera from Crutchfield. I chose them because of their reputation and because of the mileage offer from American Airlines Aadvantage Shopping. The website was easy to use. Shortly after my order, Crutchfield called me to confirm the order, an extra security step which I appreciated. The order arrived on time and was packed in a box with "starch tech" peanuts, which made me feel even better about the order. I highly recommend this company.

Took a risk and purchased a "scratch and dent", Klipsch soundbar... it's perfect! Probably never opened, required a firmware upgrade though which took about 15 minutes, but a savings of nearly 50%!

Wiring was on point, just plug and play. Everything works as it did from the factory with the aftermarket radio.

There are myriad places to purchase speakers these days. However, the customer experience at Crutchfield is best in class. They know all the details about the various options, offer great advice in a very timely manner. Shipping was as promised.

The Infinity speakers are a great upgrade over the stock speakers. Replaced the front and rear deck speakers in a 2013 Accord Sport. I also purchased the tools to remove the panels. This keeps one from scratching the plastic panels. Look forward to years of driving enjoyment.
