Lightbulb Websites to buy audio from? Maybe make a new sticky post?

I need to buy a surround repair kit and I realized I only know Partsexpress.com for buying stuff like that. People here constantly don't know about TheZeb.com, Onlinecarstereo.com, SoundDomain, etc. Would it be a good idea for a sticky post to list sites to buy from?

There are really only a few well known sites IMO, do you really want to take a chance with a site that you don't know if you can trust?

First off, I can already see this thread working because a couple of your sites, I didn't know of. Second, who said anything about free - Perhaps some of these vendors would be willing to make a donation to 7thgencivic in exchange for a sticky advertisment. OR better yet, offer discounts to 7thgen customers for the exchange. You know, 15% with a special promotion ID or something. . .

I think www.crutchfield.com carries a lot of install parts..

I think the sticky if the sites give 5-15% off would be really nice, but then you'd have to contact the website and see if they'd do it and all that stuff, so.. there is work involved..

crutchfield is good for many reasons, authorized dealer, gives you free shipping, gives you wiring harness and dash kit for free, casue i was looking a lot of this, even with going with other companies and possibly ebay to get some things your still looking at like maybe 50 dollars less overall with all the costs, so i think there still a good choice, obviously there not wholesale prices for a reason

I have ordered almost my whole system from Sounddomain...great service, and they price match...I have prolly got my system for like 35-40% of retail.

I got my HU from Onlinecarstereo.com...they have good prices and ship quick, just call them to make sure they actually have the product in stock.

I like Woofersetc as well, but i like Onlinecarstereo a lil more.

The Zeb is ok...I guess they are authorized for most of the things they sell. They sent me the wrong thing one time, and it was a b!tch to get it replaced. They wanted me to prove to them that I got the wrong thing before they gave me a Return Autorization #...and that sucked, and took forever for a return.

Ikesound sucks monkey nuts...the stuff I got from there looked used, and took forever to ship...and they have a sucky return policy...so if you get a bad item, it is hard to return. They are good to price match off of though for Sounddomain.

These comment are my opinion, and only my opinion, and not fact

I have purchased quite a few items from Etronics.com. They are really good for warranty replacement as well.

Ikesound and I had some difficulties. That are really close but seemed to mess up an order 3 times, charge me twice. It took almost a month to clear everything up.....

my list is similar to Ludlams:

www.sounddomain.com (or www.cardomain.com )
www.ikesound.com
www.woofersetc.com
www.thezeb.com
www.onlinecarstereo.com

And www.selectproducts.com I actually just like going tere to browse, but they have a lot of good stuff for installs, fiberglassing, etc.
