Morel tempo 6 for $200 shipped.

What about those of us that really want the good quality brand name products and just simply can not afford the retail prices? I have lots of good quality parts im using but if i would have paid full retail from them i would not be able to afford it all and would have had to settle for Audiobahn, Sony, Boss, Pyramid and so on.
My brother just purchased a Memphis amp online brand new but from an unauthorized dealer and paid about $300.00 less compared to what our local shops want for the same exact amp. He also did not pay any sales tax because the amp was shipped from out of state. He installed the amp himself and saved over $300.00 on the same exact product and to me that is a lot of money i can use towards other audio parts for my system.

While i understand that retail shops have to sell at a certain retail price to be fair to other authorized dealers, we the consumer just want to save our hard earned money and be able to afford the best quality of audio in our budget.

Have you tried working with a legit dealer ? I for one hardly Ever charge full SRP, why ? Because I DO know that people work hard for their money. Do I make some to feed my family ? Absolutely, but will I drop to my cost ? Absolutely not. Why ? Simple .. A: I have bills to pay and a family to feed. B: Because it simply degrades the product itself.

This is why it is a suggested retail price. I run my business based on passion and enthusiasm for the cause. You can easily find many other dealers that follow the same practice if only you ask. Not the typical - "What's the best price?"

Working with a legit dealer whether it be local or not (Like myself - not a plug, just a fact) will generally lead to favorable pricing and service.

Wow, this thread got nice n dirty fast. I must say that I too am a business owner. I hate when I lose a customer to a lower priced competitor and it often happens. Especially with Craig’s list now my business looses quite a few to services offered there cheaper. Yet I still have customers come back and new ones who got shafted on Craig’s list. I won’t mention the name of my franchise because I know this site too well to ever let personal info out here. I am not interested in being bombarded by calls for fun. However it is part of life. I don’t waste my time bashing the other competitors and going around saying how stupid the consumer is for using them. The truth is that they often get just as good of a job done for less then half the price I can offer. I do have insurance and offer a nationwide warranty on all work done though so that’s what I can offer that Joe Schmo's Auto body can’t offer. Yet I still do and will continue to source cheaper audio product on line when I can find a supplier that’s reliable and has good service. Authorized or not. I don’t trust shops to touch my vehicle. I have not seen much quality work done by the people who work at these places. I often end up fixing friends shop installs. I understand why manufactures don’t want just anyone installing product blowing it up and returning it but when it comes to speakers and such. A mecp pro or not. Most of us around here know how to install a set of comps. It’s easy to tell if your product was defective or not. I don’t believe at all in the warranty only being good when installed by a certified pro or "qualified installer" The language in the warranty is too easy to not be held legally bound to. That being said most business owners and management often over look such things to help their loyal customer... It sucks to see both sides of the story. I would love to help a fellow small business owner that’s trying to survive in these times but it’s hard to justify spending twice the money on the same product. Unfortunately more and more these days its how things have become.

Then again that's just my point of view as a small business owner.

Ignorance is bliss ?

I don't think you are supposed to be selling those brands online either fyi.

I think you are quite incorrect. Anything that I sell online is within full authorized rights.

Feel free to check up on me and you will quickly see how your 'fyi' info that you are trying to me is largely flawed. You will also see many of the products that I have shipped have actually been shipped Directly from said manufacturer. I have absolutely Nothing to hide. If you have a dealer in your area, I will not sell to you. Offer advice and help in anyway - sure. Step on another dealers toes - no sir.

Good attempt to try to 'call me out' out though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I have no desire to do so. I do not promote my business based on the volume of sales or dollars made. I also like to make sure Everyone that I deal with is getting exactly what they want and if this include several emails and phone conversations - so be it.

I am simply not a 'click to buy' type. If I sell a specific product, then that is exactly what you get.

My issue is...and I'm sorry if this is a little off-topic...I can't buy anything high end from a b&m business without driving 80+ miles to Atlanta and trying to find all these different businesses in areas that I'm unfamiliar with traveling. No one local sells high end CA. I can get JL, Rockford, and Alpine. If I want Focal, Morel, Dyn, ID, PG, Tru, etc, then I'm just SOL. :| I guess that's really nobody's fault, just my .02 for this thread...

I will attest to this, Don is a great guy to deal with over the phone, really helpful and nice. I just ordered a Zapco DSP 6 from him yesterday and the process was smooth and painless. I wouldn't hesitate a second to do business with him again.
