[QUOTE="preacher, post: 1717241, member: 566817"] Most shops that I've been to are extremely irritated that you would cut their profit margins by purchasing elsewhere and won't give you their best. I can kind of understand that with so many buying garbage online and expecting them to make it sound good. Imagine some punk buying xplodes off the net for 20 bucks and throwing them at the installer and then being irritated when they don't sound as good as his buddy's JL system? These guys are in it to make money and its hard to take time to remember the enthusiasts they used to be. Not only that the subculture is corrupt. Why is the industry stagnant. Why do we still mount headunits upfront instead of Just controllers. Unbalanced cable runs is a backwards approach considering the tech available and so cheap. $$$ you can charge more. (DA converters?; Firewire?) Most specialty shops are conditioned to deal with idiots who should put their opinions down and trust the shop. They are too busy and not used to finding someone who knows something. Enough of my nonsense. I get frustrated too. [/QUOTE]
