[QUOTE="Doctorkamino, post: 8815163, member: 686930"] This is an easier one. They're not authorized on most brands they sell. I've witnessed them using heat guns to peel off the serial number sticker from certain brands to put on their own. Most notably, JL audio. They're actually so paranoid about JL catching them that they won't even ship JL to Miami. So, basically, one guy gets authorized on certain brands. He sells or trades them at small markup to another guy who's authorized on other brands. The horse trading continues. Let me be perfectly clear, you can't call Kicker or JL with a product you got from woofers and expect warranty. I actually plainly recall calling kicker "pretending" to be whatever customer it was and saying i bought it from the vendor they get their kicker from. Easy way to tell if they're authorized: Don't call them, call the company that makes the gear. "Do you authorize woofersETC?" Odds are its a no. Trust me, you do NOT want to deal with lazy-ass josh and his ******** "Warranty department" [/QUOTE]
