    I don't see ID fitting into the mix well. They don't offer anything over the lines we already picked out. But thanks for the suggestion!

    First of all, I'd like to thank you for detailed reply. I agree, We've used them in the past. Unbelievable product. But they don't have the prices that Second Skin can offer, and they defiantly don't have the name that Dynamat has. We're ready for the buy-in with AC and other brands like...

    Yes, the price will be a little higher. But it's well worth it, imo. I get to choose how much I want to sell a year.

    Focal has been very good to us in the past. Plus, you can't really go wrong with their product. The entire line from the new Access stuff to the Be's sound very nice at the price point.

    We will advertise the same price as CC. Give discounts and such as needed to make the sale, but we're not a cut throat type of business.

    I can't say what part of California yet. But I will release that info the closer we get to opening the doors. The reason for the the two sound deadening companies is the same reason for the two wires companies. As a retailer I'm trying to hit all the markets. If someone that isn't a fan...

    Date not set in stone. Dec 1st if we get lucky. But most likely Jan 1st. I have spoken to "most" of the suppliers. The crew starting this store is coming from a very detailed background in the industry.
