[QUOTE="IonRL205, post: 8134683, member: 599662"] It's because a lot of shops you see don't really know much of anything, and they just try to push a sale onto by making up complete BS to the unexpected. A local shop here told me four 12s in a probox on 2000 watts would hit 160s. You really think I'm going to buy from a shop that tells me a load of crap like that? And most of the time local shops only sell mainstream stuff at 2-3 times the price. Car audio in itself is not a cheap hobby; if you go cheap you'll more than likely get cheap results. That doesn't mean you have to pay out the *** from local shops for gear, but trying to go cheap as possible is not a good idea either. You gotta pay to play in this hobby, and if you can't afford something, then start saving; or you could buy cheap but don't be mad if you get screwed over. The amps I run are cheap as hell, and I know that they could quite easily fail on me, but I took that risk when I bought them so there is nobody to blame but myself if they take a dump. A local shop sells a 12" l7 for $300 to $400, not worth the price. You can buy an SA 12 for $195 online, however say you think that price is too much and try and find cheaper. You come across a dealer selling it for say $120, and you buy it and then you end up getting screwed over. If you posted a thread here saying that you got screwed by a dealer for trying to buy that SA 12 for much cheaper, you're going to get flamed. You go cheap, you run the risk of getting cheap results.
