What do you guys think about buying "grey market" gear? Is the markup that stores like Cruthcfield charge justify their customer service? I remeber when I 1st got into car audio I looked at crutchfields website and out of curiosity looked at the w7. At one point they were selling the sub for about $100 over the SUGGESTED REATAIL!!!! That's a whole lotta money!
There has been a few threads on fake audio gear and a few companies have a "no online sales"where they won't honor the warranty if something goes wrong with the gear. I want to save money like alotta folks here, but I don't want to get burned either. That's why I learned how to install gear and read a lot on here. I can strecth my money a lot further buying from places like woofersetc or onlinecarstereo versus buying from Crutchfield, or even local shops for that matter. I could get a whole system for what most shops/Crutchfield would charge for a decent amp/sub or amp/comp.
Anyways .......what do you guys think?
