[QUOTE="R05Nismo, post: 3698531, member: 583426"] What the hell is it with the car audio shops around these days??? When I was really into car audio years ago I had a local shop that sold some good brands, I bought all of my Phoenix Gold stuff from them way back when...they where really cool and honest about everything. Now that i'm getting back into things i've been doing most of my research online but I would really like to hear what i'm buying first. Well that shop closed along time ago...So my first stop Circuit City, guy comes over says ..how can I help you...well..i'm going to just stop with that one now. Next I looked up an old shop I remember and found out they expanded and thought ok this is cool i'll check it out. I remeber them having alot of top brands also. Walk in guy comes over I tell him i'm looking to hear some component sets, I ask about the Boston Pro's...he says (THEY ****!!! There JUNK) so we stopped dealing with them...I'm thinking to myself...wtf. He goes on and says about a few others that are JUNK also.. So I walk over to the car audio with him and all they had was JL. I do want to hear the C5 components but they didnt have them.
