from what I have heard the markup on wiring accessories is enormous...thats fine if they want to sell a piece of 1/0 gauge wire for $9.99 a foot but to buy it from them would be retarded

^ agreed

I'd rather get my wire from someplace that's not going to rape me on the price.

I paid 1.99/ft for my 1/0 power wire for my new car (well my new, new car, now that my new civic got written off) as opposed to 5-10 bucks/foot at local shops. Sure it's all black welding cable, but a little bit of red and black wire loom will make it look pretty under the hood

Unfortunately, some shops believe staying loyal to their cutomers still entails a 300% markup on some products.

I go to the local welding shop for all my wire and accesories.

This is a car audio site.

Since when does being a car audio enthusiast mean that you have to take it up the pooper by your local retailer?

I'd LOVE to shop locally and support them. But none of them support any of the things I care about. (ie; not one single spl show this year)

All they care about is making money and they don't see the profitability in holding a show. Well that's fine. All I care about is saving money, and I don't see the benefit in payin 3x the price for wire. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Mikeone - do you buy all repair parts, oil filters, air cleaners, waxes, etc. from the auto dealer who sold your car to you? Does picking up a new Fram from CanTire make someone a scab?

I'm not advocating mass Ebay shopping but I can relate to people not wanting to spend extreme dollars on wire. IMO if a guy wants to buy bulk welding cable at Princess auto rather than Stinger, Streetwires, whatever then that's his deal.

On the flipside, "real" car audio wiring and accessories have never been cheaper. Average price for an AGU fusepipe these days is $12. The first one I bought from Phoenix Gold in 1989 retailed for $79!! :eek:

Brospeed, AA Electronics at 1350 Matheson Blvd. E. carries all the stuff you're looking for...no-name of course, but the prices are pretty good... [img]graemlins/deal4u.gif[/img]
