[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 3017773, member: 561023"] I don't know how familiar you are with my corner of the state up here...but Shreveport and Bossier City are basically the same town but separated in two by the Red River. I was at the Pep Boys in Bossier one afternoon getting some headlight bulbs and the fella in line in front of me to checkout was buying himself an entire Bazooka setup less the HU which was one of the lower-end Kenwoods sold at Pep Boys. This consisted of a pair of Bazooka 12s, two sets of Bazooka coaxs, two Bazooka amps, and then the Kenwood HU. All of the afore-mentioned gear was to be tied together with a mass of Lightning Audio wiring and related accessories. I guess nobody ever enlightened this fella that there are other sources of audio gear outside of Pep Boys. At any rate I watched the cashier ringing all of this guy's audio gear up and it totaled a bit over a $1,100 after it was all said and done. Some months later I crossed paths with that fella again and he had it all installed and running. I asked him if I could hear what the end result was. Was it terrible? No, not completely. Was it worth what he paid for it? I think likely not. I might possibly buy Bazooka gear if I could get a really good deal on it but there's no way I'd pay retail for it.
