Has anyone purchased from the online sites. I have been checking the pricing on Alpine amps and the online price even after exchange they are Cheap.
IE. Alpine F -450 here in Ottawa is $599.00 I can by it at “Now on sale” for $396.60 CAD or $299.95 US.
What am I missing?

Nope, no warranty in Canada or the US if bought from an e-tailer that is not authorized. So if you have a warranty claim add the shipping and handling charges both ways back to the e-tailer,
+ customs charges both ways + customs charges when it is shipped to you. It all adds up in a hurry. Buy local from the dealer that appreciates your business. I have seen to many customers get burned for just this reason.

All I have really heard commented about are the warranties. Nothing about the margins. That surprises me. I am going to call Alpine in the morning and ask about service. I personally can’t see the difference. I buy products all the time and the manufactures warrantee them. I can’t see a company like alpine debating Warrantee status on one of their products regard less of which dealer sold it.
