I came up with the idea for the Crutchfield catalog while pursuing a hobby, the restoration of classic sports cars. In 1974, while preparing an old Porsche 356 coupe for sale, I decided to add a modern audio system. But I was unable to find a car stereo specialist in Charlottesville or even a mail order company in popular automobile and "do-it-yourself" magazines. I knew that I couldn't be the only person interested in car stereo. The need for a national business to serve this niche seemed obvious.
How I learned to listen to you
Sales my first year were terrible, and I didn't know exactly what the problem was. So, I decided to ask my customers and catalog readers. In early 1975, I mailed a questionnaire to several hundred of them. I asked what was wrong with the catalog and the business. What I learned was intriguing.
My customers told me they didn't know much about car stereos and were intimidated by the thought of installing one themselves.
Listening to my customers, I decided to fill the Crutchfield catalog with information so readers would be comfortable with car stereo. And I decided to take good services and make them even better.
Emphasizing complete information and exceptional customer service were what it took to get this company off and running, and these values continue to define our company culture today. Now we're a thriving organization located in Charlottesville. Virginia, with satellite facilities in Norton, Virginia as well.
Please come in and let me show you around the company.

Best audio place I have dealt with ever. They usually give you "free stuff" for installation and have great diagrams and instructions. Great products as well.

Won't ship to Canada

I use the Crutchfield website a ton to research products and solutions. I scored some speaker harnesses that allow you to quickly hook up door speakers without cutting stock wires. Couldn't find them anywhere else except Crutchfield. I don't like the fact they won't ship to Canada though. It's dead easy to ship up here and they'd sell a lot up here if they tried. My father-in-law from Wisconsin ordered the harnesses for me and brought them up just after Xmas.
Excellent online retailer except for their restrictions about geography.

Expensive!

Crutchfield is THE site to use when researching audio. I have learned more from them than anywhere else.
But they are awfully expensive, I usually only buy when they have huge sales.
They are the only online retailer to offer the WHOLE deal though, you never have to worry about not having the proper fit. It crutchfield says it will work, it will, and they'll give you everything you need to make it work.
