[QUOTE="blsj1486, post: 4892708, member: 598962"] Hello. First of all I'd like to thank you for reading this post and hopefully replying. I'm new to car audio, I'm more of a computer geek, and I want to add some bass to my car. I'm considering buying retail for the added warranty and piece of mind. Yea, I found out that retail shops mark up their equipment a ridiculous amount. The thing is, I don't know much about audio. I'm sure I could take door panels apart, run the wire, and what not to install it, but I don't want to risk anything. I figure I could save about $500 if I bought my equipment from the internet. I would also probably save another $100 by getting that equipment installed at a local shop instead of a retail shop. My big question is: Is that $500 saved from buying wholesale a better deal than spending that money and having a 4 year comprehensive warranty to go with it? I'm big on technology and I know it can die at anytime. I've sent gaming consoles back 3 times in half a year, had hard drives just up and die, etc. I don't want to invest 1k+ in a system and have it **** out after a year, but like I said I don't know a huge amount about car audio. Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
