[QUOTE="htownplaya456, post: 3705524, member: 574748"] Well and you have to look at it like this. The manufacturer is going to sell it to the dealers for less money than what you would go buy it for from a shop. So if that amp retails for $799 they are probably only seeing $450 or so. Depending on what company it is let's say Rockford Fosgate the actual parts that the amp is made out of and to pay for the machines to build them and the people to run/assemble the amp it's going to cost them probably around $75-100 if not less. Then they have to make money on each amp to pay for the research and development that they put into the amp, promotions (sponsors, show displays, etc), marketing, then they have to pay their employees with a certain amount that comes in from each amp and also pay their bills. In the end they probably see $50-100 actual profit from each amp (could very possibly be less). Then the shop will get the amp and sell it for $800 and they probably see the same amount of actual profit that the manufacturer sees per amp after they pay their bills and everything. [/QUOTE]
