Obviously there are some people that know what they are doing and some that don't (in any job). Saying the people on this forum are so much smarter than everyone at best buy, meanwhile 4 of the 12 people that have posted in this thread have worked there is dumb. I agree that most of their sales people and installers only know the products they are selling, not the underground brands and therefor are obviously not going to sell you dd/fi/sundown. They are there to make money. There are also many shitty installers at small audio shops, but they may have better brands.
My point exactly.
