FINALLY! An answer to the RE price hikes....

x2 Not too many people even know about RE, outside of the internet. People buy JL, RF, Alpine, and Kicker because they have heard about these products countless times. Plus there are dealers within driving distance. RE doesnt have that.

reason #1 that RE is not as popular outside of internet forums:

they did not focus on a dealer network previously.

these are still wanted products, you can still get good pricing through a dealer. in areas where there are not dealers now, they will work to have dealers in the future.

how hard is it to figure this stuff out guys? honestly....
