I had the misfortune of consulting with Platano about the absolutely dreadful aftermarket speakers in my vehicle â they sounded like garbage and rattled like they were about to fall apart. Given his stellar reviews, I thought maybe, just maybe, he could help. I couldn't have been more wrong.
When Platano finally bothered to test my speakers, his genius conclusion was that my problems were caused by using Spotify instead of YouTube. Yes, apparently a streaming service is responsible for hardware failure. As if that wasnât absurd enough, he then tried to sell me a pair of subwoofers and 2 amps for $1300 â because apparently, throwing money at the problem was the solution, instead of addressing the actual issue. I knew it was a hardware problem, not a music service problem, but I guess Platano missed that memo.
To make matters worse, he rudely ripped out a pair of speaker baffles I had installed on my rear speakers, claiming my vehicle didnât need them. He couldnât be bothered to simply suggest that I remove them; instead, he decided to rip them out and toss them in the trash which he had no right to do. And of course, after all of this, he still had the audacity to take a fee for his brilliant diagnosis.
A few days later, I went to a reputable auto service shop, where they told me my speakers were completely incompatible with my car, since they were all coaxial and I needed a mix of component and coaxial speakers. And when I asked if installing those subwoofers and amps Platano had so graciously recommended with my existing setup would have solved my issue, they straight-up told me that with my existing speakers it would have overpowered my radio and caused it to die prematurely â which sounds like exactly what Platano was hoping for, so I'd come back and he could try to extort me for even more money.
Luckily, I was able to get the issue fixed at a much more reputable shop, with a new speaker and SINGLE amp installation â all for less than half of the $1300 Platano was trying to fleece me for. And the best part is that with my new installation, I can add a subwoofer and dedicated amp if I choose to with my new and improved setup, without it being a danger to my radio. Itâs clear Platano saw my lack of knowledge about car audio as an opportunity to take advantage of me. So, unless you're an expert in car audio and want to get scammed, I highly recommend avoiding Platano like the plague. If I could give him 0 stars, I...
   Read moreWas very happy with the previous DS18 12â sub and amp that they installed in my 21 accord EX-L, so when I wanted to go to the next level I want to see Adner. After listening to my wants and my musical tastes that are primarily metal core instrumental, some hip hop / rap and salsa. Loud and clear and more sub bass was my goal, He suggested a custom chuchero box with two 6â mid drivers and 2 tweeters that mounts in the cavity above the rear arm rest, a 1,500W amp to power the small array and two 12â subs in a box in the trunk powered by a 4,500w amp. I said F yeah because I know that Platano knows his business and how to configure a setup that will exceed your expectations while staying within budget.
They fit me in between some other jobs so I spent the entire afternoon with the hombres. These are some very nice guys that make you feel welcome and donât mind you standing around watching and asking questions.
When Platano and Pedro had finished the installation and went thru the setup, Platano tuned the amps and started to lay on the volume. It sounded so sick I was ready to call 911! Piercing highs, punchy mids and lows like Iâve never had anything close to before in one of my cars. He made the chuchero while I was there and had it wrapped in leather which was a very nice touch.
Canât recommend Platano and his crew enough. Anytime I want / need anything audio, no hesitation on where Iâll be going. Platano Music. Thank...

1st of all installation is perfection and they set everything up the way I wanted, my car bumps now đđŚ turning heads everywhere I go! 2nd, cheapest pricing around I called over 30+ shops within a 20mile radius of WPB who couldnât get me in till the next week, and was charging 3-4x the amount đ¤Żđ¤Żđ¤Ż 3rd, timing! The day I called around 4pm, they said drop the car off itâll be ready by lunchtime tomorrowâŚ.. and it was!(even tho when I pulled up they were so busy and had so many vehicles, boats, jet skis you name it that they were working on barely anywhere to park!) 4th, professionalism and perfectionism!!!! The second I pulled up and showed them the equipment I wanted installed they went right into details to explain everything to me from how they would install everything and whyâŚ. Also the wiring kit I purchased wasnât adequate enough to handle the power of subs and amp so they threw in the correct size wiring for free with the installation!!!! No wires showing anywhere, canât even tell the car has been touched since factory.
Thereâs a reason why they have a damn near perfect 5 star rating! Stop looking for an audio shop n call Plantono Music you will not be...
