and the only thing CC couldn't get their hands on from Alpine when they carried them was F1 status products...anything else could be special ordered

Over here BB charges a good amount more on installation then we do.

We couldn't have all their mobile video on display... as well as their higher line equipment on display.

Alpineinstaller (on the forums) tore down an install that BB did for one of his friends...on both of the subs only one VC was hooked up. Our local Best Buy suxs, no one know anything about anything. Like I said earlier, one of the salesman actually told me that the chrome cover on the insignia amp improved its performance, because it cooled the amp down.

We could get anything from Alpine save the F1 status lineup, as you have to be a F1 status dealer.

And the reason Alpine isn't at circuit city anymore is because alpine wanted crutchfield to be their only authorized internet dealer.
Also CC does a shit ton of business on their website for the people who say they don't sell much...

that is the correct reason!

I work at Best Buy and was pretty excited to see we were getting Alpine. Before we carried them, I had just bought my CDA-9835 from Sound Advice and was looking forward to having something better than the dismal crap we had before. Sadly, Alpine has really gone downhill in their transition into the huge corporate sea. Last years models were a noticeable step down from the previous year, with the 9855 having an overall downgraded feeling from the '35, and the joke that is glidetouch. This year's are absolutely atrocious. I can't even recommend Alpine anymore and feel good about it. We're getting Infinity in April, so this will probably be the last year that they're worth anything. I wish we'd gotten Eclipse, but then again, hopefully they'll at least retain their quality at CC. That was a long rant, but I get frustrated working there and watching what a once great company like Alpine has done to cater to the majority of rednecks and simpletons that wouldn't appreciate a good product if it bit them.
