Providing Central Oregon with High Quality Mobile Electronics and Exceptional Customer Service Since 2001!

Soundsfast

When Sounds Fast was opened nearly a decade ago, we had one mission at hand. We wanted to provide Central Oregon with a mobile electronics experience they were not used to getting.

Customer service and installation quality continue to be our top concerns when performing work for our customers. Every installation we perform carries a lifetime warranty, and every purchase comes with a thirty day money back guarantee.

We aren't just installing car stereo systems; we are integrating a person's lifestyle into their vehicle. We look forward to the opportunity to bring your lifestyle alive in your vehicle!

 

Enhance Your Driving Experience by Upgrading the Factory Installed Audio System in Your Vehicle

Enhance Your Driving Experience by Upgrading the Factory Installed Audio System in Your Vehicle

Upgrading your audio system can be done in a number of ways and within any budget.

*Speaker Upgrades*
Upgrading the speaker system of your vehicle will improve the overall sound quality. Most factory installed speakers are an entry level paper speaker with no tonal accuracy. Paper is not the best material to make car audio speakers out of since speakers go through so many different climate and temperature changes. Within 3-4 years most factory speakers start to deteriorate. Aftermarket speakers are manufactured out of materials that prolong the life of the speaker as well as improve the sound quality. When we perform a speaker installation it is done in a way so we are not altering the vehicle. If you sell the vehicle or are turning in a lease we can return the vehicle back to its original condition. Stop by today for a demonstration of how upgrading your speakers can make a world of difference in your driving experience.

*Amplifiers*
Most consumers think that adding am amplifier to their audio system is going to make the system “louder”. While the Webster’s definition of an amplifier would state this is true, an amplifier does more than just make the system louder. An amplifier will improve the overall sound quality of any system while amplifying the signal which will give the system a fuller sound at lower volumes. Every aftermarket speaker will require a different amount of power to make it perform the way the manufacture intended it to. This is why we have such a large selection of amplifiers to choose from at Sounds Fast. Remember, amplifiers aren’t just for making the audio system loud. Their first job is to improve the sound quality of your audio system.

*Subwoofer*
Most consumers think the same way about a subwoofer as they do an amplifier. Again this is not necessarily true. When most customers think of subwoofers they think of the vehicle going through their neighborhood in the middle of the night that has the audio system volume set so it is heard from a block away. While Sounds Fast will perform this type of install, most of our subwoofer installations are done in a way to improve the sound quality of the audio system while not taking away from the aesthetics of the interior. You could purchase the most expensive speakers and amplifiers in the world and they still won’t supply the low end bass response that a subwoofer will.

*Headunits*
While most new vehicles today come equipped with nice headunits in the dash; they can always be improved upon with an aftermarket unit. Installing an aftermarket headunit not only improves the sound quality of the system, it will also allow you to integrate your iPod, Bluetooth cell phone, satellite radio, HD radio, and more that your factory unit might not. If you are worried about the aesthetics if you change out the indash radio system please don’t be. We use the best quality dash kit manufactures available. We are just as concerned about the finished product as you are. If you like your factory headunit but you still want to be able to add-on some of the items mentioned above we can do this as well.

A GPS Tracking Device Allows You to Sleep Better at Night Knowing Where Your Vehicle or Children Are

A GPS Tracking Device Allows You to Sleep Better at Night Knowing Where Your Vehicle or Children Are

It’s 10:30 and your teenage daughter’s curfew was 10:00. She won’t answer her cell phone. Horrible images start running through your mind of what could be wrong. Then you remember you had Sounds Fast install a Zoombak GPS tracking device on your vehicle. All you have to do is log onto Zoombak’s web site and get an instant location of where your vehicle is. It shows that your vehicle is located at her friend’s house as the map on Zoombak’s web site gave you the physical address. Now you are able to call and find out she fell asleep watching a movie with her friend.

The Zoombak can be installed permanently in a vehicle or in a portable dock that allows you to take it from one vehicle to another. The Zoombak device also has a built in long-life (up to 5 days) battery pack that allows you to use the device in other ways. Put the device in your child’s backpack in the morning and then you can check to make sure they made it to school and back while you are at work. Your service plan with Zoombak also allows you to set up a geo-fence so if the device goes out of the boundary you set up it will notify you immediately via text or email.

Do your animals get out and wander the neighborhood? Zoombak has an animal version that is completely water resistant. Hook the device onto your animal’s collar and you will always be able to find them. With rate plans as low as $9.99 a month and nearly nationwide service, this is the most cost effective piece of mind you can own.

Rear Detection Safety Devices Will Save Lives as well as Your Kid's Bicycle

Rear Detection Safety Devices Will Save Lives as well as Your Kid's Bicycle

You've just made a Costco and grocery store run and your SUV is loaded with groceries and kids. Because new SUVs are so big and loaded with blind spots you don't see the shopping cart that you left behind your vehicle after loading the groceries. Now you have a nice dent and scratch from backing into the cart.

In 2007, 221 adults and children were killed and over 14,000 injured by being backed over by a vehicle. Because of this, congress enacted a law that all vehicles produced after 2010 have to have extra mirrors or some sort of safety warning device installed during the manufacturing process. Unfortunately there is an alarming rate of used vehicles that need a safety warning device installed.

Here at Sounds Fast we have been installing reverse cameras and radar detection systems for years. Our radar systems are installed in a "seamless" manner making them look as if they were a factory installed option. We also can install front detection systems to help in those tight parking situations.

Let Sounds Fast take the worry out of backing up in your vehicle.

 

Bluetooth Hands Free Kits from Sounds Fast Make You a More Alert and Safer Driver

Bluetooth Hands Free Kits from Sounds Fast Make You a More Alert and Safer Driver

We are all guilty of being the person who is driving down the road at 55 mph while talking on our cell phone. We are all also guilty of getting upset with another driver who isn’t paying attention to their driving because they are talking or texting when they should be watching the road.

Having a Bluetooth hands free kit installed by Sounds Fast can keep you from being either one of these folks. Bluetooth technology allows for a portable device to communicate with another device completely free of wires.

With a Sounds Fast installed Bluetooth kit, once we have linked your phone with the kit all you will have to do when you get into your vehicle is make sure your phone is with you. As you start the vehicle the kit will power up and link to your phone completely wireless. When a phone call comes in it will mute your audio system and the Bluetooth display will show who is calling. Once you answer the call with the push of a button you will then talk through the audio system of your vehicle. Calls can be dialed by either looking the number up on the display (since the kit downloaded your contact list), or you can dial with voice commands.
