cant decide if $1383 is worth it

i need opinions guys if you where putting together some audio equipment and if buying everything from 1 place gives you a 1 year warranty but would cost you $1383 more then it would cost you to buy from ebay the advantage ebay has is it would cost me around $1400 less but the equipment would be from about 4-7 different people or i could spend $1400 more and order everything from 1 place and have a 1 year warranty on everything..what do you guys think?

$1,400 for a one year warranty doesn't seem worth it to me, maybe if it was all lifetime replacement then sure...but that's pretty pricey for one year

I guess it's your money, but I would save the money. Unless every single thing you bought breaks then you could easily replace one or two of your purchases with the $1,400 you saved.

ya i was 95% sure on going with ebay i just wanted to make sure others thought the same..

why not just buy most of the stuff on ebay? just buy the things that will need to get replaced first at the place with the warrenty? mainly subs.

Well if you destroy something and you don't buy authorized your ****ed.... if your spending that much money already go ahead and get the real authorized shit.

I would like to know what you are spending 5 grand on. Sounds like fun.

that warranty shit is crap. they'll replace your things IF it's a manufacturer's defect. One guy told me if the sub was completely not working then he'd replace it. but really though what're you spending all that money on

well first off,

what are you getting?

if you are buying an indash touchscreen or something, get that authorized, maybe get a few things authorized, but then get the rest on ebay.

id at least get the headunit with a warranty.
