Fantastic job. They had many opportunities to “up sell” us on products by my request, but they were very honest about what we did and did not need.We will definitely use them again in the future

I called to get my home audio looked at and possibly upgraded. We moved into a home with full audio throughout but we could not get it to work. Dave came out to take a look at our equipment and give us a quote to fix what ever wasn’t working. He was able to actually get it working. I felt terrible because since it is working we will not need their services. However, they were incredibly professional, respectful of my home and did an awesome job of identifying the problem. When it is time to upgrade or repair our equipment, we will definitely go with them

Scope of work involved relocating speaker wire for a home theater satellite speaker.
Member Comments:
Dave came out to my residence at the scheduled time assessed and conveyed to me what would be involved in relocating the speaker wire for my satellite speaker. Because the options included cutting a fairly large hole in my drywall, I decided I wanted to think about it some more since I had just had the room painted. Dave said no problem and to just keep him in mind if I was going to go forward with the job.
I can’t emphasize enough the level of professionalism that was displayed by Dave and his coworker. They explained to me exactly what would be involved to get the job done as well as the time and the costs. Since no work was performed, Dave didn’t even charge me the $75 drive/estimate fee! I will definitely use Amped if I decide to have the work done

Dave installed an entertainment system for us to include mounting and wiring a 60″ TV and sound bar with subwoofer, and wiring various other components in our family room. He provided most of the equipment that complemented the few pieces we wanted to incorporate. He also prewired our outdoor patio area (opposite side of same wall) for TV.

I can’t speak highly enough about Dave. From start to finish, he was punctual, knowledgeable, helpful, and a true expert in his field … not to mention just a plain nice guy. After providing him our basic vision, he worked with us to refine a grand plan and estimate through a few iterations, to include a ton of product research and handily answering my numerous questions and concerns. He was always patient, wanting to ensure we were in love with the system …. and we are! He did a terrific job with the install, again, always perfectly punctual and communicative. His prices are terrific and his results are perfect. I’d recommend Dave to anyone who wants a great system with no hassles at a great price/value. Hire him. You will not be sorry.

Dave and Stephen were absolutely terrific! I would highly recommend them for any A/V needs you might have. We had a significant project and from the very onset they were extremely responsive, professional, and very knowledgeable on designing what our system requires. They were fair and honest with the estimate, and you can tell they truly take great pride in their work. They did a wonderful job on our entire house and I would highly recommend them for any A/V needs.

We had them hang a new Samsung 55 inch TV over our fireplace.
Member Comments:
Dave came out to our house on 8/27/14 to take a look at the project. He explained the options for the fireplace install. I was insistent on having a clean seamless look, so I searched them out.
The next day he emailed a professional estimate for the project.
On Sept 4th Dave and Stephen came to our home for an afternoon install. They were very professional and brought every
piece of equipment with them that the could possibly need. They laid furniture pads all around the work area, to keep everything
clean in our home.
This install included a bracket to hang the TV on the wall 3 HDMI cords and also the Apple TV since we have all
apple products it seemed the way to go.
They put clean very professional conduits on the outside of our house to take the cords to the interior.
The job was just as I hoped TV hung and slightly tilted and they hung our sound bar just under the TV also.
It looks great no cords on our fireplace very neat and professional.
Dave took at least another hour to go through all our settings on our TV to be sure everything work as it was suppose to.
He tested everything. Also was so kind to teach us how to operate the proper remote and the Apple Tv.
We could not be happier and highly recommend Amped Sound.

Description Of Work:
Dave and his team came out to do a complicated “Down and Out” mount install. This mount dips the TV lower then our fireplace. They installed a TV, a receiver, center channel, surround speakers in ceiling and an amp for the zone 2 speakers and the rest of my components. They also cleaned up the “Wire Trunk” with zip ties and paintable tape.
Member Comments:
At first I didn’t think I really needed an installer. After seeing Dave and his team in action I can honestly say he did a PRO job and I could not have done near equal work myself. I’m extremely satisfied with the final product, it’s functional, sophisticated and full of “wow” factor. We will be looking to hire Amped sound and cinema again soon
We could go on and on but I think you might get the point.
"Honest and trustworthy. There are a lot of businesses out there that trumpet their customer service, their quality of work, their affordable pricing. For the consumer though, a business has to prove that they are honest and trustworthy by eventually getting the job and performing the task. Here is an example that I can give about Dave Helser and Amped…he worked in my home, unsupervised for almost an entire week, installing electronics I knew next to nothing about and installed in such a way that it has totally fit my family’s lifestyle. The kids can’t touch the vitals, but so simple to operate that I have to fight my 3 year old for the remote. How many companies or home repair vendors would you let have the keys to your house and trust to walk back in to a job expertly done, with exactly no “clean up” or hassle after the sale? Dave is that kind of guy for me, and I have recommended him to three other families (my parents and inlaws are two) and they have been wildly pleased as well. I guess that is about the best testimonial I can give to a very deserving company."

"Amped Sound and Cinema was referred to us by one of our clients. We had a bad experience with two other firms and having seen our clients in-home system - and knowing they were very pleased with the work - asked if they would share the name of their company. Dave from Amped responded promptly to our call and visited our home the following day. He quickly diagnosed the problem and in short order had our system up and running. Since then we have sought Amped and Dave's help on several other occasions when we needed a tweak to the system and, as before, his response was immediate and the work performed in a thorough and professional manner.
In summary, we have been very pleased with Dave and everyone from Amped and would recommend them enthusiastically, and without hesitation."

"Amped has assisted me personally with setting up my surround sound and other audio, television equipment. They have also help a great number of my clients with their television and audio needs. When a client moves into a new home, they are often overwhelmed with how to figure out the wiring and Amped has been great at troubleshooting their issues and getting them set-up in their new home. The comments I hear from clients are that everyone at Amped is are professional, personable and great problem solvers. I will continue to refer Amped Sound & Cinema to all of my clients for their audio/visual needs. Thank you Amped for taking care of me and my clients!"

"Our experience with Amped Sound and Cinema has been excellent. They are customer oriented and friendly, and they are extremely knowledgeable about home electronics. They are also sensitive to not selling something the customer doesn’t really need. In a few cases, they advised us not to make certain purchases that didn’t make sense, or could be handled with a more cost effective product. They are also thorough and reliable. They were very meticulous in making sure our house was restored to the condition of cleanliness that they found it. They spoke to us ahead of time about what we could expect in terms of inconveniences and sheet rock holes, all of which ended up being minimal.
We will certainly call on Amped again to assist us with future A / V work."

"We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Amped Sound and Cinema for several reasons. We used Amped Sound and Cinema for the pre-wire and installation of our home theater, home audio, and home security camera systems in our new home. The Amped team was prompt, professional and honest. When we moved into our new home, we had a lot of trades come for landscaping, painting, and installations of this and that. We were discouraged to find that some trades would not return calls promptly, not show up on time (or at all), leave messes for us to clean up, and we never knew if the jobs would be completed as discussed. But, the Amped team exceeded all of our expectations…especially in the integrity department! Our friends are always complimenting us on our highly-customized touch-screen remotes, our security camera system, and how great our home theater system looks and sounds! We could not be happier with the service we received from Amped Sound and Cinema! "

"Dave Helser (Amped Sound and Cinema) is the only person we have found after 20+ years in the valley that
knows audio systems inside & out. We have a very complex, sophisticated system, but have never had a problem
that Dave couldn't fix. His follow-up service is awesome! If we ever move or build again, we will insist that Amped
Sound and Cinema (Dave Helser) be in charge of any and all audio systems that are installed. I am sure Dave will
also appreciate not having to undo the errors of other installers."

"Dear Dave Helser,
I could not be more satisfied with the surround sound system that was installed inside and outside of our home. Your installers were punctual, respectful, and thorough. I feel compelled to express my gratitude especially after last weekend when our family hosted a large gathering and music was enjoyed in all parts of our backyard and inside our home. The outside speakers your company recommended were perfectly discreet and admired by our guests. The music was clear and extremely easy to operate. In addition, the projector that was installed in our theatre room is a big hit in our household not only with our children but with friends! Our movie night has just improved dramatically and we have you to thank! I highly recommend your company and will spread the word to friends and family. Beginning from the scheduling process down to the final installation, your workers are top-notch.
Thank you very much,"

To Whom It May Concern:
"We had speakers installed throughout our home by Amped Sound & Cinema. The installer was punctual and respectful. The work was done very quickly, efficiently, cleanly and the results are fantastic. We probably would have had this work done much sooner if we had realized the improvement of the sound and the enjoyment we have experienced. We now enjoy our movies, cable TV, and music throughout our home.
We highly recommend Amped Sound & Cinema."
