Customer Testimonial

What a great experience Sonic Electronix provided me on the purchase and installation of our new sound system for our old 1992 Chrysler New Yorker. Everything was delivered quickly and as advertised. The installation was a snap with all the hardware needed included.

So I received my pro 78se last night and had a hour and a half drive today from Mississippi to LaPlace, LA

I'm amazed how different it was than what I was expecting. All the reviews I saw were about people complaining about so many false alarms. I only had 2 alarms go off total... 1 was a laser and the other a "pulse"... Other than that it was nice and quiet. I even let POP stay ON and I used Ka MAX... I rode by a few stores like CVS and Walmart that have automatic doors and It didn't effect my pro 78se at all..

I also drove behind 2 cops and had a cop pass me heading in my other direction and they didn't effect it either. So far I'm very please with it. I'll keep my post updated last after I've had it for alittle longer.

Best detector out there for the money!! It has detected police radar over 2 miles out. False alarms minimal! Had it 6 months now and hasn't failed me once yet. Compass is about the only thing its missing. Who needs it, i have GPS.
