Since 1978 — 48 years. Bucky Buckner opened Sounds Unlimited in Danville, VA as a car audio shop, and the business has grown into church sound and livestreaming, home theater and commercial AV. It is still family-run, with more than 2,500 installations and 90+ churches served.
Our showroom and install bays are at 310 Old Riverside Drive, Danville, VA 24541. Hours are Tuesday–Friday 10 AM–6 PM and Saturday 10 AM–5 PM. We are closed Sunday and Monday. Call (434) 792-6717 or see our contact page and directions.
We serve Danville, VA and the surrounding area, including Chatham, Gretna and the rest of Pittsylvania County; South Boston and Halifax; Martinsville and Henry County; and across the state line in Caswell County, Eden and Reidsville, NC.
For larger church and commercial projects we also travel throughout Virginia and North Carolina, including Lynchburg, Roanoke, Greensboro and the Triangle.
Four main areas:
Walk-ins are welcome at the showroom for product questions, purchases and quick consultations. For installations, please schedule ahead so we can reserve a bay and give your vehicle or project the time it needs. Call (434) 792-6717 to book.
Our church packages start at about $7,500 (Essential Worship, for congregations up to about 100), $13,500 (Worship + Livestream, our most popular, for about 100–250) and $25,000 (Premium Production, for 250+). The final price depends on your room, how many microphones and screens you need, and how much existing equipment can be reused.
See the full breakdown in our church sound system cost guide, or call (434) 792-6717 for a free assessment.
Our Worship + Livestream package, which pairs a digital mixer and wireless microphones with a PTZ camera and a complete streaming setup, starts at about $13,500. Streaming to YouTube or Facebook is free; dedicated church streaming platforms charge a monthly fee on top of the equipment.

Every home theater is quoted for the room, because screen size, speaker layout, seating and wiring change the price a lot. Our home theater cost guide walks through typical ranges, and a free in-home consultation gets you an exact number.
It depends on your goals and your vehicle. A general guide:
We can build a system in stages to fit your budget. Stop by for a free consultation and we will put together a plan.
We are an authorized dealer for JL Audio, Focal, Kenwood, Alpine, Sony, Hertz, Rockford Fosgate, Kicker, Sonos, Denon, Samsung, LG, QSC and Shure, among others. Call (434) 792-6717 to ask about a specific brand or product.
Yes. Financing is available through Synchrony on projects of $500 and up, including church, home theater, commercial and car audio work, subject to credit approval. Ask about current plans when you call or visit.
Yes. Estimates are free for church, home theater, commercial and car audio projects. For churches, homes and businesses we come out for a free on-site consultation so the quote is accurate. Call (434) 792-6717 or use our contact form.
Yes. Church AV is a core part of our work, and we have served more than 90 churches. Every project starts with an on-site assessment of your sanctuary, then a written design and proposal, professional installation and hands-on training for your volunteers and staff. Learn more about our church sound and livestream installation.
Yes. We install complete streaming setups — PTZ cameras, video switchers, encoders and a dedicated audio mix for the stream — and connect them to YouTube, Facebook Live or a church streaming service. We also train your team to run it. Our church live streaming guide explains how the pieces fit together.
That is how we design it. We keep the controls simple, label everything and save presets for your usual services, then train your volunteers in person on your own equipment. If questions come up later, we are a phone call away.
Call (434) 792-6717 and tell us what is happening and when your next service is. Many problems can be narrowed down over the phone, and because we are based in Danville, we are closer to most Southside Virginia churches than the larger AV companies in other cities. We also service systems installed by other companies. See church AV service and repair.
Usually, yes. A church copyright license covers singing songs in the building, but streaming or posting services online with copyrighted worship songs generally requires a separate streaming license, such as the CCLI Streaming License. Check your current licenses with your provider. We set up the stream; your church handles the licensing.
Maybe not. The FCC has reassigned the 700 MHz band and most of the 600 MHz band (roughly 617–698 MHz) to cellular service, so wireless microphones in those ranges can no longer legally be used and often pick up interference. Check the frequency printed on your receiver. If it falls in those ranges, we can recommend a current system, including Shure models we carry.
Yes. During the assessment we test what you have and tell you honestly what is worth keeping. Reusing good speakers, cabling or microphones can lower the cost of an upgrade.
Usually, yes. We check what is behind the wall (brick, stone or framing), how much heat reaches the TV, and the viewing angle from your seating. Over-fireplace TVs often sit too high, so we may recommend a pull-down mount. See TV mounting in Danville, VA for details.
In most drywall, yes. We run in-wall-rated cables and a proper recessed power kit behind the TV so nothing hangs below it. On brick or stone, or where the wall can’t be opened, we use a low-profile cover painted or matched to the wall.
Yes. Sonos is one of the brands we carry, and we install whole-home audio with in-ceiling, in-wall and outdoor speakers so each room can play its own music at its own volume. See our home theater and whole-home audio page.
Yes. For home theater, whole-home audio, TV mounting and commercial AV, we come to you. We handle the site visit, system design, installation, calibration and training, and we work around your schedule to keep disruption to a minimum.
It depends on the job:
We always give you a time estimate before we start.
Yes, and it is one of our most requested upgrades. We install aftermarket receivers with wired or wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from brands like Kenwood, Alpine and Sony. On some vehicles where you want to keep the factory screen, an add-on module can bring CarPlay and Android Auto to the existing display. See car stereo and CarPlay installation.
On most vehicles, yes. Interface modules such as iDatalink Maestro and PAC keep your steering wheel controls working, and on many vehicles they also keep the backup camera and factory vehicle information. We confirm what your vehicle supports before we start.
In many cases, yes. Integration kits from iDatalink Maestro, PAC and Metra let us replace factory head units while keeping steering wheel controls, the backup camera, climate information and other features. Some vehicles with deeply integrated screens are better served by adding an amplifier, DSP or speakers while keeping the factory screen. We will look at your vehicle and recommend the best approach.
On most push-to-start vehicles, yes. It takes a vehicle-specific integration module, and some models need a spare key or extra parts. Call (434) 792-6717 with your year, make and model and we will tell you what is involved. See remote start installation in Danville, VA.
Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealer cannot void your warranty just because aftermarket equipment was installed. If an add-on directly causes a failure, that specific repair may not be covered. We use vehicle-specific harnesses and integration modules to protect your factory wiring.
A DSP (digital signal processor) fine-tunes your audio with equalization, time alignment and crossover settings to correct for the acoustics of a car cabin. If sound quality is your goal, it is one of the most effective upgrades you can make — especially when you are keeping the factory head unit.
Yes. We build enclosures for your specific vehicle and subwoofer, along with A-pillar pods, kick panels, amp racks and other fabrication. Whether you want a stealth build that keeps your cargo space or a show-style setup, we can build it.
We work with businesses of all sizes, including:
See our commercial AV installation page or call for a free walkthrough.
Yes, training is part of every commercial and church installation. We walk your team through each part of the system, leave reference guides where they help, and are a phone call away if questions come up later.
Yes. Installations come with a lifetime labor warranty when the equipment is purchased from Sounds Unlimited. If anything comes loose, rattles or has a problem caused by our workmanship, we fix it at no charge. Product warranties vary by manufacturer, and we help you with any claims.
Yes, we can install equipment you supply. Our labor warranty covers only work on products purchased through Sounds Unlimited, and if a supplied product turns out to be defective or incompatible, extra labor charges may apply. Buying through us means we can confirm compatibility and fully cover the work.
Call us and we will take care of it. For car audio, bring the vehicle to the shop. For home, church and commercial systems, we can often troubleshoot over the phone or schedule a service visit.
Yes. We regularly work on systems installed by other shops or set up DIY. We check the current system, find the problems and recommend the best next step — a repair, an upgrade or a fresh start.
Call the shop at (434) 792-6717, Tuesday through Saturday, or send us a message and we’ll reply within one business day. Estimates are always free.
