“Great Service, great selection”

Michael G.
9/29/23

I've ordered from Crutchfield for years. My recent purchase was exactly what I expected. Great service, great warranty, zero issues. Save yourself the trouble of ordering from places that have zero after purchase customer care...Sonic... If you want a worry free transaction order from Crutchfield.

“Vehicle fit info is wrong and tech support is useless”

matt s.
9/28/24

Bought a stereo for my run of the mill 2014 caravan. Their instructions said no cutting of the dash required. Well, after wiring I up I find I does not fit in the opening. The radio is too big so without hacking the outer dash, it's not going to fit. I decided to call and find out I this was normal and all I got was attitude. Tech told me I didn't read the instructions or fit info. When I proved him wrong on both counts, he then said I must have some special model. No apologies, no solutions, he just tried to blame me. And then hung up. I'm sending this junk back. If I can't can't get accurate fit info or tech support I might as well buy it on Amazon for less money.

They employ a staff of audio experts to answer questions.
The website has a library of advice.
They will price match other audio merchants.
They will make deals.

I got on Crutchfields website to start researching speaker upgrades for 2 of my vehicles. Their website is extremely user-friendly, and easy to navigate. When I saw their prices, they were too great to pass up! I ended up ordering 8 Kicker speakers and 2 tweeters, broke down like this:

2018 Toyota Tacoma:
Pair of 6x9s for front doors
Pair of 6.75s for the rear doors

2016 Jeep Wrangler
Pair of 6.5s for the lower dash
Pair of 6.5s for the roll bar
Pair of tweeters for the upper dash

Crutchfield included plug-n-play wire connectors for everything, vehicle specific instructions, and mounting brackets, all for FREE.
Total cost = $243... YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT THAT! I couldn't be happier.

I ordered a scratch and dent/open box Onkyo 800 receiver. Although I saved $150 off the Crutchfield price, it was still $100 more than an open box unit from One Call. I was willing to pay the extra money for Crutchfield's customer service.

Unfortunately, the unit they sent was defective/broken. In the meantime, the regular price had been reduced a $100. I called and was made to feel as if I should consider myself lucky that they were willing to exchange it for another unit at the considerable savings of $50 over their current price - and still $100 more than One Call. I had to spend several minutes negotiating with the customer service rep to get her to agree to send another unit out and have UPS pick up the defective unit.

I just arrived home to find that a new Onkyo 800 - but UPS didn't pick up the new unit. Apparently UPS didn't know anything about a pickup. If I want UPS to come and pick it up I have to pay extra.:/

Obviously I'll be dragging the old unit to the UPS store on Saturday (some of us work longer hours than the UPS store is open). But I won't be paying extra to do business with Crutchfield. The customer service just isn't what it used to be.

This is the second purchase from Crutchfield and I am just as happy with this purchase as I was with the first one! Both were literally plug and play!

Horrible Sales Support and possibly one of my worse experiences ever. They do not care about their customers. Check Amazon or any other retailer.

My order shipped the same day and arrived at my door in two business days with free shipping. The receiver is awsome and the price was the best I could find anywhere. Bravo Crutchfield!

The shipping was extremely fast. The product was as advertised. The in house wiring harness connector was well worth the cost and installation was flawless.

Been purchasing equipment since the beginning of the year. I always choose the slowest shipping option for the discount. Always arrives before the shipping date.

These are attractive. They appear to be made sturdy and the connectors snug. Having the option to select the length of the cable to fit my needs was a nice touch. I upgraded because the speaker cable I was using was over 30 years old and stored in my garage. Being able to take the new cables out the pack and connect to the speaker and be up and running in less than five minutes was beneficial. No measuring, crimping the cable and fighting to twist the ends and connect. The sound was an immediate improvement over the old cable. I had to reduce the volume. I am sure as I get more playing time the cable sound should improve slightly as well. Even at reduced volume, I could tell the highs were better and the bass was effortless, The fit and finish is great. I would recommend these cables for anyone wanting to upgrade without breaking the bank. Even if you don't think cables make a difference, if you have old cables it would still be worth upgrading with these cables. It will take you 5 minutes to setup. If you are trying to decide if cables better than stock would improve sound, I would recommend these cables. The extra benefit is they look expensive and perform very well.
