Hi everyone. I found this sight while looking for online mail order companies for car audio in Canada.
Does anyone know any good online audio suppliers in Canada? Or companies in the Toronto area that have an online cataloge? The reason that Im asking is that my parents are going over there for a holiday in the summer and I was going to get them to bring me back some bits for my car (if they were going to work out cheaper).
Do you guys have to pay any import taxes for goods coming from the US?

Cheers

btw, my folks are going to be staying in Toronto if that makes any difference.

Ugh, those customs always nail me..

I love it when I get a nice envilope from fedex three months after you receive your order. Always seems to show up just when you say to yourself "man, I spent too much money on this stuff"

Thanks for the replies,
I'd be looking for a screen preferably an alpine one (either TME-M580 or TME-M760), possibly and equilizer (alpine PXA-H700) and some wiring (0 guage stuff)
Could someone post a rough price for these items (for shops in Toronto if possible)
Any help, much appreciated.

If you're looking for 0-guage wiring packs try posting a wanted add in the forum. When I prepared my install I just placed a wanted ad and within a couple days one of the CCA members offered me a brand new 0 guage wiring kit for super cheap.

I think people win these things in competitions and stuff and its a useless item unless you have another car you'd like to wire.

With wiring (in my opinion) you're going to get the same stuff from someone on the forum as in the store.

Last time I flew back from Europe to Canada, I was able to bring $750 worth of goods by myself before any charge was considered. I'm thinking it should be no different going from Canada to an EU country.
