kandiman71874 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 How many of these "Local Shop Rants" do we really need on one forum?

Shyne151 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 I hate to bust your bubble but that is pretty much the going retail rate for wire. We charge $8.00 for RF 1/0 and $4.00 for RF 4gauge. We also have db link but they are only a dollar or so cheaper a foot. Shops gotta pay bills too. I wish consumers would realize that. -Installer for Duke's Car Stereo 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix - Ported Eaton M90 S/C, 3.5" pulley, XS Power Headers, 1.9 Rockers, FWI, Poly Motor Mounts, Custom Tune.

I realize shops have bills to pay, but when a spool of Rf 1/0 is 7.52 a foot off their site (sure, that's not including shipping) at msrp, I doubt you can't get it much cheaper. Wire is reduculously cheap to make, and companies make a very good price on it. I would think if you get it through Rf you would get it at a phenomenal price if you were a shop. I know monster cables, like their hdmi cables and such are a tenth of the price at cost then what they charge shelf price. Clearly if you are barely making headroom at $8 a foot then Rf is charging suppliers way too much. Not a slam at you, moreso to markup failure.

All you guys ever do is bitch about the same shit with them. The word "Redundant" comes to mind.. Most times people bitch about something it's redundant, and everyone bitches about it still. The thread can get delete if need be, but was venting a little. As for how many does a forum need, there wouldn't be as many threads if there weren't useless ones. <3

BulletInjection Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 Place by me the were saying oh the owners van is super loud and what not they showed me a picture and I asked the owner what it was hitting he said 186dB. I was laughing so hard and told him there is no way he was with 8 21" atomics in what seemed to be a mostly stock stretch astro van. He swore atomics were the best subs in the world My build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...8920&st=100 http://www.youtube.com/Bulletinjection
Dvldogyut Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 My local shop is owned and ran by steve cook. Yeah, he is more of a was been than a is, now a days. But don't let that take away from what he has done foe the industry. I like going down there just to talk to him. Hearing stories of old skool goodness and whatnot. Woot woot. Steve Cooke is the man.
rubbernutz1 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 top local shop around here loves kicker and memphis. dude that was workin at the time told me id never give over 140 with the cheap shit i was running. he tried to sell me some L5 kickers for $2500 and i almost fell over. i got 12 12"s btw. but that price was way to dam much for me. i did make a believer out of him how. he didnt think cheap shit could slam but i told the guy what my van could do and the dumb ass bet me it wouldnt do it. i let the dude meter it and then eat ate his words. 151 on music with unadjusted settings. i think i pissed the guy off hen i told him maybe he should start selling some more affordable shit but i dont care it was worth it to see him eat his words about those 'TOP IF THE LINE' kickers they sell lol. also the guy told me hes never heard of ascendant audio or stetsom so that tells you what kind of shop they got
