Tek 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 I don't understand the Kicker phase. Don't get me wrong, they make awesome products and can market like some sons of bitches, but its just the fact that some of the least knowledgeable people I know in terms of car audio ride Kickers balls all the way to the grand climax.

rubbernutz1 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 this shop has been around for a good 15 years so i would assume they should know about the better brands out there. and for some reason they do ride kickers balls really hard lol.
Mr. Darkjustice Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 gettin hustled in some work done by a shop or even them talkin shit about your setup i can understand, but starting a thread over wire prices? lol and just because its a shop doesnt mean theyre going to know about any and every brand and model out there Fusion With A Stetsom 4k2d on 2 DC XL 15s tuned to 31hz and Subs and ports forward The Revolution Was Not Televised But There Is This Thread(clicky) Dr Merkenstein is my 360 gamertag and my profession.

zayres29 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. my local shop is 2.95 ft for stinger pro 4ga Btw that was the first person. Ever banned by me while dropping a deuce. Feel privileged

keepinitloud Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 How many of these "Local Shop Rants" do we really need on one forum? All you guys ever do is bitch about the same shit with them. The word "Redundant" comes to mind.. this^^^^ with a shop you can haggle somewhat with the price and dont forget you can get a better warranty through a shop most of the time than you could buying off the internet I see to many people on here bitchin about there amp or subs blowing up and there is no warranty cause they bought it off fleebay 06 chrysler 300C Hemi one mmatts dreadnaut 15 powered by a planet audio vx 2200d fosgate p200 running planet audio 8" midbass drivers and super compression tweeters stock battery and a stinger spv44 Irragi 300 amp alternator big 3 1/0 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/55075-system-in-my-300c/page__view__findpost__p__763656__fromsearch__1
