[QUOTE="Jbarbier, post: 224446, member: 548197"] Hey, I'm new to this board, and to car audio (about 1.25 years exp) My question, one of them, is... Do you guys think it's better to buy from a local audio shop, pay more for a 'lower' quality item, than to buy from an online store and get a slightly better product for the same price or less? I'd love to help support our local shops, but sadly they don't really deal any of the brands that i REALLY care for. They sell MORE of the better known stuff...sony, kenwood, clarion, pioneer, JL, rockford, etc etc. They do not really sell much infinity, focal, MB, or anything "high-end,' therefore their prices are even higher... second question...im not into SERIOUS audio competition by all means, i do however want slightly better than average sound in my car...i would LIKE to run one amp for the subs and power the speakers off of the deck...i know, i know, but there HAS to be some sort of components out there that have a high sensitivity rating or some that work well with a low RMS, any suggestions there? Thank You...I look forward to an enjoyable hobby that i can be proud of... Justin [/QUOTE]
