[QUOTE="quest51210, post: 6799976, member: 572064"] i worked at a high end shop called custom sounds a few years ago. there are a few in san antonio, austin, and st louis...they sell JL, Alpine, Focal, and Exile is their "entry level" brand. of course they sell entry level on all their lines period but Exile was their new thing at the time and discounted to an extent to get it out there. for every "enthusiast" that walked out the door wanting a discount because they saw it online or ebay we had 4-5 customers spending full retail on W7's and 1000/1's. high volume shop, nba players, young professionals, etc... anything from a deck and four to full blown $40-50k in audio on a daily basis. 70% of our installers/salesmen drive corvettes, escalades, bmw's, lexus, etc. i drove an HHR, but it had 4 miles when i got it and it was paid off cash on day one...i made that money my first year there. business is still the same for them and as far as i am concerned they just managed to tap into the right market and deal with the right customer base to support their business. one salesman gus lozano averages $1Million in sales out of one store for the last 10 years. dude owns a $300k house, escalade, 2 vettes, and in san antonio $300k goes a long way.
