Alpine will cost you an arm and a leg, they push their whole line on you. Great stuff, but when they make you buy their amps and eq's it forces you to look at the whole picture. Their HU's are great, but their name comes with a price.

Memphis is a popular affordable line

My first system consisted of Pyle subs and a pyramid amp. Although it was totally free to me so... Then i bought some sony subs. Got rid of those and bought some Infinity's.

I wondered why everyone I know of goes under. Seriously. I don't of any that are in business for more than a year or 2. The ones I went to scared the crap out of me with their prices. I'm like I can get that on the net for 1/2!

Where not just doing that. Interlocks also.. Hell i could make a living off the Drunk SE Mi driverson this site!

ya i know Ive only work in this bussiness for how long? We'll see ive always wanted my own shop. Im not funding it soo who knows, Downriver isn't the best location for A mobile electronics place but i can't think of a Single CUstom place other than Car Tunes around here.

The money is in RS labor. when at unit cost 150 and everyone charges 500 thats 350 in labor. another is the Massive markup on speakers. Not alot of profit on headunits
