theabunai Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thats the thing that is the last thing he heard.. according to the OP this release came ou today so my rep is going to call and see what's going on... If it goes dealer direct then a local shop can call eclipse and become a dealer instead of a rep picking and choosing what shops gets authorized Ill update as soon as he finds out whats going on Ascendant Audio Hawaii Rep Sundown Audio Hawaii Rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theabunai Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 yups colin and the price tag on those brands are really really no where near as affordable as eclipse and also a lot harder to find (with authentic authorized dealer warranty).. As someone else posted.. all the re-value of eclipse decks have gone way up.. they are now collectors items...

dr hypothesis Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Damn, this sucks. Ever since I first bought an 8443, I was an Eclipse fan. I had two 8443s, cd5000, and an 8053 that I still have. (quit reading cds) Currently using the 8445. Can 't imagine what I'll run in the future with Eclipse not there. 2001 Chevy Impala Eclipse CD7200 mkii Cactus Sounds 5kw Sundown 100.4 (2) Fi BTL 18s (walled) ID 6.5s (2 sets) Iraggi 320 amp Alt XS Power Batts KnuKonceptz Wiring MidwestSPL Scores: 152.0 Advanced 2 136.1 Extreme 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxingBuffalo Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Lame. My first serious deck was an Eclipse. Got jacked.

skittlesRgood Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 the price better not go up just yet. i just got set on buying one and talking to a guy about buying his.

If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Neel Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Not really a sad day for the SQ world. In the past couple of years they came out with some decent affordable decks with a good amount of DSP, but nothing like their amazing old decks (like the ECD-510 etc.)... whats happening to car audio Too Much Stuff to list .
