Ok so heres the problem,

I live in South Africa

/end

no but seriously.

i have roughly 2.5K US $ with the current exchange rate for a nice car audio system,

i have purchased an aftermarket H/U with 3x preout @4v so thats out the way.

my problem is shipping.

i was quoted over $1000 to ship 2 AQ subs down here (thats shipping alone)

so i searched some more i found out i can ship my whole system from the US amps, alts, subs, batts, etc. through freight shipping for only 500 $

but 2 problems arise, it will take 30 days to get here and apparently import duty will be at 106% 0_0

So now im stuck.

Locally the best they have here is Sony Xplod and other crap.

i have found though a Pioneers TS-W5102SPL for $687

but thats not really what i had in mind. iv heard their not that great, i could be mistaken.

i was hoping for 2 AQ HDC3 15's with AQ amp.

i could go with the pioneer but that doesnt sort out Amp, batts or alt.

Amp i could maybe scrounge for something possible maybe worth buying.

but AGM batteries here are WAY over priced and H/O alts are no where to be found.

So please if you have any advice at all in terms of shipping or places i could look anything,

i would be very grateful!

Regards,

Alex

Hit up blade ice. They're a Fi/AA distributor. Not sure if they can help you in south Africa, but they may have a partner who can.

i have spoken to an Fi rep / distributor in South Africa.

i did and i haven't heard back from him to this day.

Hopefully il have better luck this time, :)

Dude, you're in South Africa, you start bumpin' some bass and Hippos are gonna start humpin' your car and crush it.

:lol: @ this. Do you ever come to the US to visit or anything? May be easier just to do that & bring it back with you on the flight :lol: But I wonder if a European dealer would be able to work better with you (finding a good company from over here that deals in the UK/Europe.

POTATO!
