Sound Advice/tweeter going out of business?

[alxmlr789 10+ year member]

I was listening to the radio here, and i heard something about SA/Tweeter going out of business.

They said 152 stores will be closing down within the next 6-8 weeks.

This normally means good deals..right? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

Has anyone else heard this is true?

Maybe they should lower theyre prices, that might get more customers...

you should be able to pick up some stuff at really good prices. but just got to be fast about it. the tweeters' near me shut down awhile ago, and they marked down their prices alot, and kept marking them down more and more near closing date. i got stupid and tried waiting it out to see how low the prices would go and missed out on the hus' i was eyeing

I dont find it funny at all, it sucks that one of the only reputable chains in terms of install knowledge and skill is gone.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
