Every place i have ever been to is cheaper than they are. they had my headunit a clarion DRX8675z for like 400 or a little under, i got it brand new for 240, and thats no misprint. Thats just one example. every single item i have ever looked up there i have found cheaper within minutes of looking online. Anywhere between 50 bcuks cheaper too 200. imtaking about HU, amps, speakers....so if you like blowing money go ahead shop there.
You're paying more due to their absolute first-rate customer service, free shipping return policy, supplied "free" installation kits/accessories, super-detailed car specific instructions, and well-knowledged help-whenever-you-want-it technical support. IMO, no on-line retailer compares.
That is why their prices are higher. As a general rule, I only buy stuff from them when it's on special. Then, you get a decent price and all of the extras.
I just picked up a Clarion Pro Audio HX-D10 for $310 shipped with all of the goodies as it was on special. The cheapest I found it elsewhere at all of the on-line discount retailers was 400 and up.
