Our Story
Thank you for letting us share our story with you. Audio Excellence is your one stop shop for all of your car audio needs. We opened our doors in 1979 and have been serving the good people of central Florida ever since — over 40 years and counting!
Our Family Story
Our mother, Sadiah Baker, was born in the beautiful country of Jordan in 1935. In 1973, she immigrated to the United States with just a dollar and a dream. Even when the odds were against her, she put her faith in God. She pushed forward for a better life and earned the universal name, “mom”, to all who crossed paths with her.
When we think of mom, we think about a woman who built up many successful businesses since 1979 and staffed over a hundred loyal employees. With 40 years of experience in the automotive and lighting industry, our business continued to grow. She provided a better life for her children, which then transpired into providing better lives for her fourteen grandchildren and one great grandson. All fourteen of mom’s grandchildren are educated, and are proud members of the armed forces and law enforcement.
Mom was truly an inspirational and remarkable woman who broke all barriers. Regardless of the circumstances she was facing, her power and strength allowed her to move forward and live a happy life. When we talk about good fortune, hard work, dedication, and blessings, we think about Sadiah Baker. Over the last 40 years, we have watched staff members grow up and have families of their own. It just goes to show you that without mom, we would have never been blessed enough to meet such phenomenal people who have been with us during our journey.
From nothing, Mom built an exceptional life for her and her children. We are honored to share Mom’s story with the world as a memoir of persistence and hard work. Due to mom’s determination to fulfill the American dream, all of her children still work together and follow in her footsteps. Sadiah Baker’s story will never be forgotten, and we are proud to continue her legacy of hard work, faith, and determination.
The Audio Excellence Story
The first Audio Excellence location opened in Longwood in 1979. Ten years later, we expanded and have since grown to three locations in the central Florida area – Oviedo, east Orlando, and west Orlando, as well as one location in South Beach and another in Atlanta, Georgia. To this day, we are still operated by the same first generation of our family that immigrated to the United States in 1973. Since then, our family has grown to include the 89 employees we staff!
Because we are a family owned and operated business, family and community are both very important to us! We only want the absolute best for our customers and our community. We invite you to visit us at any of our locations and experience Orlando’s only family owned and operated audio shop with over 40 years of beyond comparison experience.
