Proudly Serving the Baxter & Brainerd Lakes Area Since 2008

Lakes Audio began the way a lot of family businesses do—inside a garage, with a husband-and-wife team who believed vehicles should feel as good as they function. Back in January 2008, it was late nights, early mornings, and a whole lot of passion for clean installs and great sound.

That passion grew quickly. Today, Lakes Audio is still family-owned and actively run by the same husband-and-wife duo, but we’ve expanded into a full team of skilled installers and friendly salespeople who help bring our vision to life every day. Even as we’ve grown, our hands-on approach and family values remain at the heart of everything we do.

Who We Are

We’re not a big box store—you won’t get pushed into anything you don’t need. We’re your neighbors, your fellow lake-lovers, your fellow “surviving-those-long-winters” Minnesotans. We understand the Brainerd Lakes lifestyle because we live it too.

Whether it’s warming up your vehicle on subzero mornings, hearing crisp audio from one end of the lake to the other, or keeping your family safer on busy roads, we help you make every drive—or boat ride—better.
