I got mine at Frys electronics and they matched the price from 3kings audio... have a local frys? No shipping and easy returns.

My girlfriend hates it, as does my wallet too. I can usually get what I want without waiting.. Car audio is lacking but they definitely carry the 80prs and some pretty decent mmats and polk component sets. Since they price match most online retailers, it's a bargain compared to every other company around. Nobody else price matches online, they even price matched online only black friday deals. I have no idea how they make money, unless people really don't ask them to match prices.

I bought an amp from them on ebay and transaction went smooth

I've bought a few things from them, and none of it appeared to be previously used, or even demo'd. Insane prices. I'm sure authorized dealers hate them.

They buy in volume. I know for HT, their deal on Jamo and Polk towers is out of this world

I just had a brief conversation about 3 Kings with one of my distributors when we were discussing American Bass. 3 Kings must have some crazy bulk discounts because on the 80PRS, just as one example, they appear to be losing money with that price. They do free ground shipping. Shipping rates increase every year yet we see free shipping being offered virtually everywhere.

MY only problem with it is that they offer prices that small vendors can't compete with because they can buy in much larger quantities at a time.

That makes sense... but at the same time, why can't other big box stores (walmart, target, best buy, etc.) compete with online prices and/or match them? Choice?

Overhead, most likely. Far fewer franchises helps.

Have ordered multiple amps and wiring kits from them. Never had an issue..

you won't get a warranty for that 80, think I saw them on bestbuy.com for the same price and they are an authorized dealer
