Sounds Unlimited installs car stereos, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, speakers, amps, subwoofers, and remote starts at our shop on Old Riverside Drive in Danville, VA. Most upgrades run $300 to $2,000, every job starts with a free estimate, and gear you buy from us carries a lifetime labor warranty. We opened in 1978 as a car audio shop, and we never lost the bug.
You don't need a new car to enjoy the drive again. A modern screen, speakers that don't buzz, bass you can feel: most upgrades are done in a day in our install bay.
Your maps, music, calls, and texts on a real touchscreen, in the car you already own. We install a CarPlay or Android Auto head unit that looks like it came from the factory and, in most vehicles, keeps your steering-wheel controls working. A ten-year-old truck feels current again.
Factory speakers are built to a price, and you can hear it. We install component and coaxial speakers from Focal, JL Audio, Hertz, and Kicker, with clean amplifier power behind them, so you hear the singer, not the door panel.
Bass you feel in your chest without rattling your license plate. We install subs from JL Audio, Rockford Fosgate, and Kicker, size the enclosure to your trunk or cab, match the sub to the amp, and wire it so it sounds tight, not boomy.
A car is a terrible listening room: glass on one side, a door panel on the other. Digital signal processing lets us tune the system to your actual vehicle, so the music sits in front of you instead of coming from your left knee.
Custom enclosures, amp racks, and stealth installs that look like the factory should have built them. If you want the trunk to still hold groceries, or want nobody to know the system is there, we build it that way.
A warm cab and a clear windshield on a January morning. We install remote start systems on a wide range of cars and trucks. See remote start installation in Danville, VA for options and what affects the price.
Marine stereos and speakers built to stand up to sun and spray, so the boat sounds as good as the truck that tows it.
A backup camera wired to your new screen makes parking and hitching a trailer a lot easier. Ask about adding one when you upgrade your head unit.
No mystery pricing. Here's the honest range of what folks spend with us. Every job starts with a free estimate, and financing is available through Synchrony if you want to spread it out. For the fastest quote, call (434) 792-6717 with your year, make, and model.
A CarPlay or Android Auto head unit, a speaker swap, or both. It's the best value in car audio, and most of these installs are in and out the same day.
Amplifier and subwoofer packages, component speakers, proper wiring throughout. This is where the system stops being an upgrade and starts being the reason you take the long way home. Typically about a day in the bay.
Full builds: DSP tuning, custom fabrication, multiple amps, show-quality finish work. These take longer, and we'll quote the timeline along with the price before we touch a panel, so there are no surprises.
It's one of the questions we hear most, so let's settle it. Federal law is on your side, and so is the way we work.
Under this federal law, a dealer can't void your vehicle's warranty just because you installed aftermarket audio. They'd have to prove the specific part we installed actually caused the specific failure. A properly installed stereo doesn't do that.
We use vehicle-specific harnesses and integration parts instead of cutting into factory wiring wherever possible. Your car goes back together the way it came apart: no dangling wires, no rattles, no evidence except the sound.
Buy your gear from us and our installation labor is warrantied for life. If something we installed ever comes loose or acts up, bring it back. We stand behind our work for as long as you own the vehicle.
We're an authorized dealer for JL Audio, Focal, Kenwood, Alpine, Sony, Hertz, Rockford Fosgate, and Kicker: gear we'd put in our own trucks, with real manufacturer warranties, installed by people who'll still be here next year.
Before the church systems and the home theaters, Sounds Unlimited was a Danville car stereo shop. Nearly five decades and 2,500+ installations later, car audio is still the work we grew up on.
We're a family business at 310 Old Riverside Drive, not a big-box install counter. The people who quote your job are the people who do your job, and the people you'll see around town afterward.
We're a short drive from all of Pittsylvania County, from Chatham, Gretna, South Boston, Halifax, and Martinsville, and from Caswell County, Eden, and Reidsville across the North Carolina line. Swing by Tue–Fri 10–6 or Sat 10–5.
Bring us the car and tell us what's bugging you: muddy sound, no bass, a radio older than your kids. We'll tell you what's worth doing and what isn't, free, before you spend a dime.
Basic upgrades like a CarPlay head unit or speaker swap typically run $300–$800 with us. Mid-range systems with an amp and subwoofer run $800–$2,000, and high-end custom builds run $2,000–$5,000+. Every job starts with a free estimate, and financing is available through Synchrony.
No. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealer can't void your vehicle's warranty just because you installed aftermarket audio. They'd have to prove the specific part caused a specific failure. We also use vehicle-specific harnesses instead of cutting factory wiring wherever possible, so your car stays factory-clean underneath.
In most vehicles, yes. We install a CarPlay or Android Auto head unit that fits your dash and factory controls, usually in the $300–$800 basic upgrade range, and most of these installs are done the same day. Call (434) 792-6717 with your year, make, and model and we'll tell you exactly what fits.
In most vehicles, yes. A vehicle-specific interface module lets your steering-wheel buttons control the new head unit. We'll confirm what your car needs when you call with the year, make, and model.
Most head unit and speaker installs are done the same day. An amp and subwoofer package typically takes about a day. Custom fabrication work takes longer, and we'll give you a clear timeline along with the price before we start.
We do. Remote start is a popular upgrade once the mornings turn cold, and we build marine audio systems designed to handle sun, spray, and open water. See our remote start page for details.
Gear you purchase from us comes with a lifetime warranty on our installation labor, on top of the manufacturer's product warranty. If anything we installed ever rattles loose or acts up, bring it back and we'll make it right.
Tell us what you drive and what's bugging you: a dead radio, weak bass, a screen from another decade. We'll give you a free, honest estimate with no pressure.
