Customer Testimonial

Where do I start! Well, I've been ordering from Sonic for a few years now, they have the fastest shipping and great prices. Always have great sales and I run an audio shop and I only order from Sonic Electronix. Great company, great employees. Thank you Sonic Electronix for the awesome service.

Hands down the best investment I have made buying electronics. This detector trounces my friends V1 in Ka band. Possibly the best detector on the market for the money.

Can't say much for it besides that it saved me from at least 3 tickets in the last six months. That's what I bought it for, and it's done it's job quite nicely!
