Car Audio Installation in Altoona, WI

I live in Chicago, and after reviewing several options for a high end upgrade for my electric car, a 2023 Kia EV6, Elite Audio came out as the clear choice even though they were 5 hours away from where I live! Chicago, as one would imagine of a huge city, has many many places from which to choose for car audio upgrades. But that’s just it……I didn’t want ‘any’ car audio shop. Elite Audio stood out after I researched a few important elements of a high end upgrade. There is a lot involved, and I wanted to insure each step taken, were really good ones. It’s more than simply purchasing pricey speakers and installing them. In that case, any audio shop could do that. The majority of the speakers chosen were the Helix Compose series (Ci7’s), and also the DSP/amp was by Helix. Helix, a German company renowned for their DSPs in the audio world is pretty much the best ones out there. These expensive DSPs require professional tuning, and this special expertise require special training of which Elite Audio was certified! Only a handful of shops in the Midwest have the certification from Helix. There are tuners out there without the certification. But if I’m going to spend a lot of dollars on an upgraded system, I’d much rather go to a shop that is certified in the skill straight from the source, Helix (Audiotec Fischer). At the time I researched, there were no audio shops in all of Chicagoland that obtained the certification, although many sold Helix products. This made me even more impressed with Elite Audio because they took the time and invested in their expertise when they could have chosen not to like many others. I drove to Altoona/Eau Claire for the very first time all because of Elite Audio. It was the best decision I could have made. Everyone there is so cool, so very knowledgeable (especially Rob) and professional; and to top it off, they are about as kind as they come. They were accommodating beyond measure for an out of towner. I won’t name the accommodation because everyone will most likely ask for it hahaha and I don’t wish to put them out there in such a way. Let’s just say, they were fabulous, outstanding in every way. Their prices were fair. In fact, I was surprised everything fell slightly under budget and timing was right on target as Rob said. I now have a super superb solid system that I am very happy with. That authentic sound hits the gut just the way I want it to, without all the loud noise, and it’s all because of Rob’s precise and very thorough execution. He was motivated, went out his way to do it right from beginning to end and it really paid off!!! I can’t believe how satisfied I am with this sound. Wow wow wow Thanks Rob, thanks Elliott, thanks Mark, and yes thanks to the legend himself, Walt! I wish you guys continued success, and many blessings on the way.

If you’re looking to do any upgrades for your car speakers I’d definitely recommend coming here. They did a clean job upgrading my front door speakers, subwoofer in the spare tire, and adding an amp for it all. I wasn’t sure exactly what speakers I wanted but I was shown multiple products and got a good rundown on the differences between them, helping me decide what was best for me and the budget I had. Staff is extremely nice and knowledgeable, and great communication via email, phone, and of course in person. Pricing on everything is fair and getting in for an appointment (at the time of writing) wasn’t too bad at all. They also have a nice waiting room if you decide to stay while they work on your vehicle. I did need to come back for a slight tune on the amp they installed, but it took less than a minute and I was good to go. I’m set for now, but I’ll definitely come back if I decide I need more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I talked to the owner, about a certain brand of subs, and he was a very credible source in knowing what brands are good and what brands are cheap. If you have any audio questions they are most knowledgeable when it comes to audio. I got Dual 12" jbl subs from them. For installation, subs, amp, and wiring it was a very reasonable price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
