[QUOTE="awalbert88, post: 224604, member: 545461"] Well, the local shops often cost more because of the costs of maintaining a brick & mortar store. All my stuff has been bought locally, but my next amp is going to be bought online unless I can find a killer deal locally. The cost difference is just too much to justify helping the local shops out. As for the other question... You [I]can[/I] run components off the HU amp, but it's not recommended. Component speakers just love power, and the 40-50W you get from a deck amp aren't going to give you the sound you're looking for. A good component amp can be had for like $150 or less online a lot of times, and it's a worthwhile investment in my book. I'm sure others can give you more specific advice as to what amps are best for that. [/QUOTE]
