Unless you count ebay, I believe Sonicelectronix is by far the best source for stereo equipment. You can order off of their site, but I prefer to order from them through ebay "buy it now" so that I can leave feedback. Companies like them which do large volume are not going to screw their customers and risk bad feedback from them. You still have a one year warranty through them, and I have never seen cheaper prices on ANYTHING. There are some good online companies, and some bad (aka Acaraudio.com), but I know that sonic is one of the good ones. What would you rather do, spend $550 on an amp with a manufacturers' warranty, or $300 on the same amp with a sonic electronix warranty (which you will probably never use)?

I've ordered quite a bit from Crutchfield over the years, but not so much recently. Their prices are a little higher, but as others have mentioned, they do have great customer service, prompt shipping, and tons of backup literature and online info.

thezeb.com is pretty good, too, although I think they've gone downhill the last few years as far as the quality product lines they carry. Their match-or-beat price policy is great though -- I got my CDT Eurosport 630 comps for $427.

For you old-timers out there who remember digitalwavez.com, they were the all-time best. They went under about 5 years ago or so.

Have also ordered from cardomain.com and sonicelectronix.com, no complaints with either one.

ive shopped from sounddomain, crutchfield, and the zeb. i like crutchfield cause they have free 3day shipping on orders over $200, and i like sounddomain cause they are usually cheaper. but sounddomain ships fedex, and i dislike fedex.

I got two Comp VR 12's from [url]http://www.baystereo.com[/url] last year for $180 shipped. They don't have the best selection, but they do have some incredible deals if you keep looking.

Oh gee Justin...I wonder why you would do something like that?!?!? lol...

i always order from DetroitBass.com...... but maybe I'm partial?

I now order everything through Cardomain.com I dont think they can be beat. If you are buying a HU they supply everything for it, like crutchfield. They also have amazing customer service like crutchfield. They also have a pricematch, which is how I got my kicker kx 1200.1 for $440 (authorized with warranty). I think it was $800 normal or something, but I pricematched and they approved it. And their prices are not AS high (i dont believe) as crutchfield.

I would point you in the direction of authorized dealers, warrantys and such.

I bought my JL 300/4 from acaraudio.com (stay farrr away from them btw) and I spent more money on repairing it than i would have if I just bought it from an authorized dealer

(I bought it for $400, spent $135 on repairs...Cartoys had it for $550 or something)

buy authorized...get a warranty.

a warranty is like insurance, you may never need it, but if you ever do, its damn nice to know you have it.

Good i've ordered from:
[url]http://www.cardomain.com[/url]
[url]http://www.crutchfield.com[/url]
[url]http://www.thezeb.com[/url]

[url]http://www.acaraudio.com[/url]

ARC is like JL Audio.

They cant be sold via the net, and they cant be shipped out of dealer territory.

Try [url]http://www.detroitbass.com[/url]

Or tell him what your looking for and he can hook you up.

[url]http://www.cbrstereo.com[/url] sells alot of different companys including alpine, kenwood, clarion, and JVC. Doesnt Justin sell that stuff now too? I attempted to order a set of ARC audio kar265 speakers...they were always out of stock, and still are. They might have most of that other stuff in stock though so you might check there.
