2 shops 15 minutes away carry rockford and 1 carries memphis. I like memphis better but rockford seems to be what everyone likes in my area

you ought to go with a brand no one has.

RF is going to bring you more $$$ if I had to guess. Personally I think both lines have their weekness. You need to probably have a lower end and higher end line for different budgets

What about Boston?? They have some great stuff out now.

Memphis is nice because you don't have to deal with any online competition.

Plus the new memphis amps are pretty sweet.

Yes. Find out what each company offers in the way of support to you, This would include minimum purchase requirements, area exclusivity, warranty replacement processes, on-going sales support, advertisement compensation, POP, etc. etc.

As a businessman, you cannot simply look at what brand is "better", but what brand can help you grow and flourish.
