[QUOTE="BennyLava, post: 6252356, member: 613624"] It's that competition that they are getting from internet sales that will hopefully drive them to offer better gear, at better prices. After all, why buy online if you could have the same thing installed that day, for roughly the same price? I would say screw online shopping if I could get that kind of deal going. I mean obviously you would be paying a little more for installation, and the shop's bills and all that, but at least it would somewhat resemble what you can order online and install yourself (or have installed). Right now, as many other members have said, they offer low end stuff, and high end prices. At least offer high end stuff, if you are going to have high end prices. I know it's hard to compete with a warehouse that has little to no bills cause the stuff just sits on a shelf till it gets shipped out, but maybe they could try. The car audio place I used to work at (called Pendeltons), the boss said you kinda had to haggle with the suppliers to get the best deals. Maybe that's what some of the shops need to do... get on the phone and start haggling? [/QUOTE]
