I work at a shop..

Amps - Kicker, Rockford, Memphis

Wire - Kicker, RF, Memphis

Lower Line

Subs - QPower, Interfire, JBL

Amps - PlanetAudio, ProAcoutic, SSL

Wire - QPower

Also nice having our distrubitor down the street

[FosgateLife]

If i was in the wealthy side of town.....

Subs- Fi, DC, Sundown

Amps- DC, Rockford, Sundown

Speakers- Rockford, HAT, Hertz

HU's- Kenwood, Alpine, Pioneer

Wire- Sky High audio, Rockford, Knu

Processors- Audiocrontrol, Rockford, audioson

But who in the hell would only want 3 brands?! Haha not me!!

In all seriousness here in louisville, the shop that makes the most money is not one that sells cheap shit, its the one of RF's biggest distributors. Along with boston acustics. They wont even TOUCH a Kicker product, but then again, they have some questionable knowledge about other brands besides RF... But they do some damn good work. Smart Shoppers in the shops name.

Wish i could have added Crescendo in there somewhere

the reason you dont add 50 internet companies into your shop is real simple...internet companies cannot and will not warranty your product like an established company.

Companies like:

Phoenix Gold

Audison

Hertz

These are what a brick any mortar customer are looking for, for these reasons, its a higher standard then the ...Kickers ,JL, Rockford.. Also these companies are going to have a no questions asked warranty. A customer doesnt want to hear that you have to send it into the company because thier tinsils on thier subs snap off like toothpicks or whatever the reason may be, the customer just wants it fixed and NOW.

They do exactly what they are supposed to or more and work all the time. Where some companies whom i wont name, i cant even tell you how many amps came DOA.

I can have a replacement amp/sub next day at no cost to me as the shop and sort out whats an issue later with my company.

Failures...when and if they do happen how often is it. Its real easy to not blow up stuff when you know what your doing, but in a retail environment, a customer always does what they want to do right after they leave that driveway. Sure you can take the high road and say , " im not warrantying anything you touch" but then you probably just lost that Client.

Dealer network, I dont really want anything in my store that any jackass in the street can just call up and say, hey im JIMBOB from caco/smd/ca.com/ssa/diyma can you send me all my stuff for 30 points below dealer cost? and them actually get it.

[HowLowCanYouGo]

1)Kicker-Cause all the highschool audio noobs want that

2)JL-Just because they are another brand most people know and could bring in $$$

3)Sundown-I would love to have sundown subs laying around for when someone wants a GOOD install
