Car Audio Innovations
can install just about any setup in your car, truck, or boat.
Here is a bit of background on our installers:
Rod has been specializing in custom stereo and security installation and products for the Porsche 911 since 1991, as well as installation of car audio and security systems on all types of vehicles. Previous experience with different aspects of automotive maintenance and repair since about 1978. Interest (obsession, really) with automobiles, electronics, music, and music reproduction since way before that. Installing for a couple of years at Circuit City, another year as director of operations for a local manufacturer of dealer oriented security products. Installations on many brand new vehicles, while gaining an international reputation as a Porsche 911 audio expert, traveling all over the U.S. to work on Porsches. Manufacturing custom subwoofer enclosures for the Porsche 911 since 1991, shipping them all over the U.S. and to a few places like Finland, Japan, and Germany.
Carl joined us in September 2006. Carl is our MECP certified Installation Manager. Carl has a great attitude and is a real team player. Carl does high quality work and fits right in, always working toward becoming even better at everything he does. We're delighted to have Carl with us. Carl's got sweet custom fabrication skills. We like to watch.
Tony rejoined us in August 2008 after a year and half in autobody. Tony worked with us previously for a couple of years and jumped right back into CAI operations with his savvy customer service and installation skills. Tony is another seasoned installer with a great attitude and dedication to mastering his craft. Tony gets down and hooks it up.
Jake joined us in June 2011. Shortly after he joined us, Rod asked him "where have you been?". He fits in perfectly, has the same penchant for focusing intently on each task, dedication to serve customers, and some really sweet installation skills-you can put him on any vehicle! Welcome aboard, Jake! You complete us.
Everyone at CAI is an MECP certified installer/technician, an earnest "salesperson" and people pleaser.
How do we attract and retain a great team? We have air-conditioned and heated install bays. ;) We also compensate our workers with a percentage of the store's overall performance, rather than commissions on each sale and installation. (No high volume rush job activity!!!) This way we all work to make all customers happy, and we do our best to earn your long-term business. Our employees are progressive thinkers, we continue training and we work hard to deliver products and services that truly serve your needs.
Installers who already "know everything", need not apply. ;)
Click on the links to the left to see some of the custom work that we've done. In addition to this custom work, we also perform many more "routine" installations, such as basic CD player upgrades, keyless entry systems, speaker upgrades, and we can help you with parts and advice if you're performing your own work. We're also happy to provide a comprehensive evaluation of your current setup, including an RTA analysis and an IASCA score. We love installing Video systems including DVD players, overhead, sun visor, in dash and headrest monitors as well. We also install TV tuners and we specialize in custom game system integration.

(we work on all types of vehicles!)

We're happy to work on all makes and models, cars, trucks, motorhomes, motorcycles, travel trailers. It doesn't need to be a fancy car, we work on Hondas, Fords, Toyotas all day long, Chevy, really all brands. We can help you, even if your garage doesn't look like this:

(This garage belongs to a customer of ours who had Rod come out and make a service call on the Ferrari (the red one, not the blue 360 Modena(!)) 575M Maranello. V12, very nice. Rod was able to troubleshoot and repair a factory Ferrari mistake. Thank you Duane, I'm glad we were able to help you out!
Ask us about mobile service for high end cars. We charge a fair price that's downright economical if we can save you a trip to a distant and/or inconvenient car dealer. We also provide pick up and delivery of such cars for a nominal fee all over the Sacramento and entire SF Bay Area, fully insured. Ask us to quote you on a full setup. We can prepare you for sound quality that you never imagined was possible. The results we can achieve are simply self-evident. Questions, comments, and feedback are always welcome. We look forward to serving your needs.
Another shot of that Ferrari 575M Maranello, the motor sounds soooooo nice!
