thoughthard is an unknown quantity at this point
My advice...

-Buy only from an authorized dealer. I would recommend buying from an authorized dealer even if buying it off the Internet.
-Ask them if the unit is refurbished, B-goods, factory serviced, B-stock, factory refreshed, or basically anything that means it is not brand new.

I bought a Kicker DX350 amp from an authorized dealer on eBay. They sent me a receipt showing that I bought it from them. It also showed that they installed it, so I got a full three year warranty from Kicker, instead of the one year for non-dealer installed equipment. It took alot of work to ask questions, find an actual authorized dealer, and research that dealer.

http://www.cardomain.com ships to Canada, and is authorized on some of their products.

Maybe choose a brand you are considering, and then goto their website and find out who is authorized online.

cardomain.com is good site. Their prices are not too bad either. If you can find a lower online advertised price, they match it and beat it by 5%. 5% is not much, but hey, its still a lot cheaper than buying decks on most stores.
