I would say, he did get ripped on the prices, but its a decnt setup.

TEll him to get a box built for the polks and some decent power on them, they actually might not sound to bad.

Don't worry about him, anyways is too late know but, maybe he wanted to spend that much. I think there are people who prefer to go this route, they don't mind paying retail and would rather go with make sense to them, instead of posting on Ca.com and asking alot of questions.

One BB employee told me that i wired my subs at 2 ohms, but i know they are at 4 ohms.

DVC 4 ohms - each coil is seried, then subs are paralled into amp bridge.

he also told me "i should know, i've been doing this for 15 years." and that no amp is stable at 1 ohm. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

One of my friends wanted to have a sub no matter what (impulse buyer) so he went and bought a kenwood driver (i think it was around 100 bucks). I told him he's stupid for doing it, so he returned it and is now waiting on 2 10" type Rs from the mail for 230. he still bought a q-logic box from them cuz it was like 40 bucks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I think they only exist in FL and GA now, not sure though.

They are still a huge company here in FL at least.

so many people have NO idea about car stereo stuff, they are easily impressed by a decent sounding system and they just assume the salesperson knows how to put a system together. I am sure less than 1% of the guys that are interested in car stereo stuff actually come onto a site like this to learn about it before buying their system.

i agree... a bunch of friends of mine all got systems after i got one, and they all came up with these shitty *** second hand old *** piece of shit systems mismatched and two of them had the same shitty visonic bandpass system...

i told them they are stupid

i find this story hard to believe considering best buy does not sell polk speakers, circuit city does maybe your thinking of them?

 

[shortyg83 10+ year member]

Yea thought that was fishy lol best buy doesn't sell polk

Yeah, but even weirder is that CC doesn't carry alpine

The friend would have had to go to both stores, in this case...
