[QUOTE="qkassidyw, post: 4896694, member: 598965"] Ok, so coming from a retail background the four year warranty is worth it...you can go in before the warranty is up and tell them that something is wrong...if you tell them something that they can't test (like the sub will shut off randomly or something like that) then they will replace it. Even if they don't want to if you talk to the managers it will happen...sounds like a lot of work but it is really easy. the big box stores do sell nice stuff....unless you are looking for a competition style setup. If you want nice from big box stores I would stick with: Best Buy: Rockford Amps, Alpine Subs, Alpine Decks, Infinity Speakers Circuit City: MTX Subs/Amps, Kicker Subs, Eclipse Amps Car Toys: JL Amps/Subs/Speakers, Infinity Speakers, Rockford Amps, Alpine Subs/Decks Also, going with a big box (Besides Car Toys) you get a lifetime guarantee on the labor that they provide....that combined with the 4 year product warranty and you are basically set to maintain the quality of your system. As far as the warranty goes I got a new type R 12 for free...i upgraded from a rockford 500-2 to a 1000.1 for the price difference, I got a new alpine deck, new speakers (new models...comparable) and a bunch of other non car audio crap (new Type N Router instead of G)....rambling now.
