"Jose helped me connect my home entertainment system to a single power source after it had previously done incorrectly. He also attempted to connect my tv to communicate to my receiver. Jose was very generous with his time, coming out several times to do that. He suggested that I replace the receiver, which was not the problem. Then he suggested that I may have had a bad sensor in the receiver that wouldn’t allow the tv to communicate with the receiver and speakers. Neither of those issues were correct, and I fixed the problem on my own. Overall, the price to connect the power source was reasonable, and Jose came out several times at no charge, but couldn’t solve the problem."

"Projector + sound system installation: Really great service, showed up on time, did all the work AND they checked at any point that needed input to make sure it worked for me (how much space to leave between the mount and the wall, that kind of thing). Nice, respectful crew that took care to make sure the job was done well and, maybe just as importantly, how I wanted it to look at the end! Very satisfied."

"The work Luis and Jose did was exceptional. They arrived ahead of schedule. They were both professional and personable. They made sure everything was done correctly and did not rush. It was a difficult job installing a home theater system in a room were you couldn't route wires in the ceiling or under the floor the whole way, so they got creative. They removed the baseboard, carved space into the walls for the wires and then replaced the baseboards. That is something I never would have thought to do. I was very impressed and will definitely recommend New Wave Home Audio to others, and the next time I will ask for Luis and Jose again."

"Perfect! My request was a bit odd because I don't always want surround sound, so Abraham set everything up with both a "sound through the TV" and surround sound mode. Everything was connected just as I wanted because we sat and talked about what I wanted before he did the setup. He asked me to talk to him before hand, and I sent him a list of my components. I had my TV set up before, but now I can play CD's, play DVD's, stream through my computer, and view photos on my TV screen. Worth ever penny!"

"He showed up promptly. Getting it running again was easy--mainly a matter of plugging it in correctly. He also installed a new printer cartridge. He let me know that the old Windows XP could not be updated but that the computer could continue to be used as is. I was grateful for his kindness and thoroughness when my issues must have seemed very basic.

FAQs for home theater surround sound system installation projects in Goleta, CA

Installing ceiling speakers is challenging and often the most difficult type of installation for surround sound systems. It involves electrical work and cutting into the ceiling, all done from a ladder, which can slow progress and increase labor costs. You can save money by choosing surface-mounted speakers on brackets instead of in-ceiling designs.

Surround sound systems are worthwhile if you value immersive experiences for movies and gaming. For casual music listening or TV watching, the benefits may not justify the costs. Consider testing a system at a retail store to determine if it's right for you. Starting with a standard 5.1 system allows you to upgrade over time.

Soundbars are an efficient audio solution that delivers clear sound. They can simulate the surround sound experience when you pair them with satellite speakers. However, dedicated 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound systems offer superior fidelity and immersive performance that is essential for fully engaging movie, TV, and gaming experiences.

The cost to install a home theater system represents a comprehensive entertainment experience that transforms your living space. Building a home theater system costs an average of $17,500, including essential components such as a large TV or projector, a surround sound system, premium seating, and a media center. The overall expense adjusts based on room dimensions and the quality of each appliance, ensuring that every installation meets specific spatial and performance requirements. This structured cost approach provides a clear framework for achieving a high-performance home theater.
