So today me and my friend were bored, so we ventured around to alot of different car audio stores in the area. We went to the one place, and it's the same place that i went to last year that said that my car takes 5.25'' speakers and they would have to do ALOT of custom work to make my 6.5'' components. Also, they told me their boom-room was still under construction. The salesperson comes in and starts talking, and he says all we have in here is some old closeout stuff..which consisted of

kicker kx350.2

kicker sx1250.1

kicker sx900.2

18'' juggernaut

my friend asks just how much the stuff is, keep in mind its used, dusty and not hooked up..no boxes or anything.

he comes back after talking to "the owners" and says

"the juggernaut is 999.99, the kicker kx350 is 350.00, and the sx1250.1 retails for 1200 and the lowest we can go is 700."

i was dying in the inside, just knowing that my friend got a kx350.2 at ccity for 45.00 open box, lol. And ive seen juggernauts go for like 300.00, and the SX1250.1 is like 500.00 NIB with warranty online.

What goes through these stores heads when they give us these prices? They must have thought that we were dumb or somthing. Oh well

kinda sucks, because they are going to be carrying RE/US amps soon..

you live in scranton.......lol (office FTW)

still, my shops around here have prices like that too. most fortunatley are just there for the people that come in with daddy's money and pay gladly. if you show intrest, or intellegence they will knock some off.

As many people have said you have to make money somehow.
