i would definatly carry pioneer and kicker....i stand by them and IMO make great products
I'm a Kicker man and would carry it no matter what, but if you don't carry Pioneer your just plain CRAZY! Thanks for standing up for a company that knows it place and excells at it.
There's a shop here in Lansing that does free installs for everything you buy there. If you don't buy it there, you pay $50/hour. They've been in business for a very long time, so you must live in a very high rent area if you think you can't make it charging those rates.
It costs roughly $300-400/day to run the baseball academy I work at. This is with a large dome with heat, atmosheric pressurizers, batting cages, huge lights, employees...If your paying more than that for a little car audio place you really need to find another location.
I would like to carry RE, eD, Dynaudio, Focal and Adire, but I wouldn't want just any idiot to be able to buy it. I would make it a "priveledge" to buy it at my shop, you'd have to qualify some how. These aren't high volume items anyways, so I shouldn't lose to much money doing it that way. And the stuff would only be in 'expert' installs, so it would sound great everytime. People will be scratching and clawing to buy it too, I'll make millions!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif Just kidding.
To offset my car audio business I'd sell something else as well. Don't know what it would be, but I definitely add something extra. Heck, I'd sell Krispy Kreme if I could!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
