Oh yeah..and then some...my frien was the regional distributor for Crossfire before he got a job with Kenwood. a BMF 1000D Costs him a whopping $143 CAD ($90US) he sells it to a shop for $430. The MSRP is $999CAD, Shops sell it for $800. Now that's $750 markup Distro makes $3bills. Shop makes $3 bills. You just took it up the [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]. In canada a JL 12W7 dealer cost is $800. MSRP is $1400. Shops sell for $1200.

Cerwin Vega HED's cost a Dealer $75CAD. MSRP is $200 Delaers sell for $150. That a 100% Profit..

It's disgusting....but then again if you own a shop. There's ALOT of overhead costs...so it's partly warranted..that's capitalism for you..

Mohawk...That is EXACTLY what i am talking about. If people would take the time to research the "low end" products...instead of just assuming that the more expensive brand is the best...they could put together a quality system...with great sound imaging at an affordable price. Just trying to help some of you "name brand" guys save some bucks. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
