2-Year Installation Warranty

Unlimited Service Calls — Even for Training

Your two-year installation warranty covers unlimited service calls with no trip fees to any of our service areas (Sedona, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Prescott). This includes technical issues, system troubleshooting, recalibration requests, and user training.

Read that again: user training is covered. Want to learn how to switch between streaming services? Need help understanding a new feature on your receiver? Call us. We'll walk you through it remotely or schedule an on-site visit at no charge.

What's Covered

  • Cables & Wiring: HDMI, speaker wire, audio interconnects
  • Equipment Mounting: TV mounts, speaker brackets, rack systems
  • Calibration: System recalibration as needed
  • User Training: Unlimited training on system operation

Why Our Warranty & Service Policy Matters

Most Installers Are Incentivized to Keep You Calling

Many companies make more money from post-installation service calls than from the original installation. They offer minimal training, provide limited documentation, and charge $200-300 every time you need help.

We built our business model differently. We take on a maximum of 15 clients per year, so every project gets our full attention from start to finish — and well beyond. We'd rather have you as a satisfied long-term client who refers friends.

After the 2-Year Installation Warranty

We continue to provide service at standard rates. The 10-year speaker warranty remains in full effect.

  • Trip Fee: $100 (Prescott/Sedona), $150 (Scottsdale/Paradise Valley)
  • Hourly Rate: $125/hour (1-hour minimum)
  • Remote Support: Always Free

We maintain complete client documentation indefinitely. If you need service years later, we have your original measurements and settings on file.

The Ultimate WubGrade Program

Your WubWub Audio speakers are an investment that grows with you. Within the first 5 years of ownership, you receive 100% of your original speaker purchase price as credit toward an upgrade to new WubWub Audio speakers. No depreciation. No trade-in games. Dollar for dollar.

After year 5, the credit reduces by 20% each year — 80% in year 6, 60% in year 7, 40% in year 8, 20% in year 9. The program expires at 10 years. No other speaker manufacturer offers anything close to this.

How It Works

  • Years 1–5: 100% of original speaker purchase price credited toward upgrade
  • Year 6: 80% credit
  • Year 7: 60% credit
  • Year 8: 40% credit
  • Year 9: 20% credit
  • Year 10+: Program no longer available

Upgrade Program Rules

  • Speakers only: Trade-in credit applies to speaker cabinets and passive components. Amplifiers and electronics are subtracted from the trade-in value (e.g., a powered subwoofer's trade-in value is the speaker cost minus the amplifier cost)
  • Minimum upgrade value: The new speakers must cost at least double the trade-in credit. A $1,000 subwoofer trade-in requires at least a $2,000 replacement
  • Condition: Traded speakers must be in working order with no major cosmetic damage or driver damage, whether or not the damage affects sound quality
  • Paired speakers: Left/right pairs and surround sets must be upgraded together — individual speakers from a matched pair cannot be traded separately
  • Individual upgrades: Center channels, subwoofers, and other single speakers can be upgraded individually
  • Installation: Installation of upgrade speakers is included at no extra charge for Arizona clients. Room recalibration is billed based on travel distance
  • Warranty speakers: In some cases, a speaker under warranty that needs repair may be eligible for a trade-up instead of a repair — this is evaluated case by case and may not always apply
  • Original speakers: All traded speakers are returned to us
100%
Trade-In Value
Full original purchase price credited toward your upgrade within the first 5 years. No depreciation.

Example

You purchased a pair of WubWub Audio tower speakers for $5,000 three years ago. You want to upgrade to the next level. Your full $5,000 is credited toward the new speakers — you only pay the difference. The original towers come back to us, and your new speakers get a fresh 10-year warranty and a new birth certificate.

Why We Do This

We want our clients to grow with us. If your room changes, your needs evolve, or you just want more — the upgrade should feel like a natural next step, not a financial penalty. This program means your WubWub Audio speakers never lose their value.

We Do Not Service or Install Systems We Didn't Build

We only service and support home theater systems we designed and installed. This isn't because we're being difficult — it's because we can't provide the level of service our clients expect if we're working on systems we don't intimately understand.

Frequently Asked Warranty Questions

What exactly does the 10-year speaker warranty cover?

The 10-year warranty covers speaker drivers (all woofers, midranges, and tweeters), enclosures (cabinet construction, joints, bracing), and all exterior finishes — parts and labor — for clients residing in Arizona. Amplifiers and other electronic components are covered separately for 4 years. If any covered component fails due to manufacturing defect or material failure, we repair or replace at no cost.

What's NOT covered under warranty?

Power surges or electrical damage of any kind. Abuse or mishandling. Placement in environments the equipment is not designed for — excessive heat, humidity, outdoor exposure, or any setting unsuitable for audio equipment. Physical damage, water damage, and third-party modifications are also excluded.

What happens after the 2-year installation warranty expires?

The 10-year speaker warranty continues in full effect. Service is available at standard rates: $100–$150 trip fee depending on location, $125/hour with 1-hour minimum. Remote support is always free.

What if I move to a new home?

The 10-year speaker warranty transfers with the speakers to your new location. We can recalibrate for the new space at standard service rates if within our service area. Special rates may apply for moves outside our territory.

What is the Ultimate WubGrade Program?

Within the first 5 years of ownership, you receive 100% of your original WubWub Audio speaker purchase price as credit toward an upgrade to new speakers. After year 5, the credit reduces by 20% annually and the program expires at 10 years. The upgrade must be at least double the trade-in value, and traded speakers must be in good working condition with no major cosmetic or driver damage. Amplifier costs are subtracted from powered speaker trade-in values. Installation is included for Arizona clients. See the full program details above.

Do you offer extended warranties beyond 10 years?

No. Components either fail early (covered by our 10-year warranty) or last decades. We haven't found extended coverage necessary.

Are you a licensed contractor?

No. We specialize in custom speaker design, fabrication, and home theater system installation. We're audio engineers, not general contractors.

What happens if you go out of business?

We've designed the business for longevity: 15 clients per year, minimal overhead, no debt, strong cash reserves. That said, all warranty obligations transfer to component manufacturers where applicable, and we maintain detailed documentation that any qualified technician could use for service.
