Ebay - can be great if you know what to watch for.

Used Section - in the various car audio forums can be excellent if you know what to look for.
Yes ebay is very good if know what to look for. I got a brand new alpine DVA-9861 for like 500 shipped. Subs arent as great as deal cause of the cost of shipping cause of their weight.

I could walk into visions tomorrow and get a 9861 for less than that... I think that's the problem, people assume the dealer, or a chain won't help you out...

If you want to buy off the internet, then fine. I don't agree. But using a shops knowledge and experience knowing full well that your not going to buy from them is despicable. So their good enough to answer your questions but not to earn your money?
Why not ask the e-dealer? I am sure that whatever <sarcasm> product you ask about is going to be perfect <sarcasm> for you regaardless of application.

And no. Not all online dealers are that way but they are few and far between.

I'm not even going to start about the comeback I am sure to hear about "But I can get the same thing online for $200 that the local shop is gouging me $450 for." Do a search if your comeback involves this and wade through the many pages of repetitive .

Using the local shop with no intention of buying is my beef.
Sorry I wasnt expilicit enough. That's not what I meant. I meant that if you are not experienced and need to learn you should go to your local store and PAY for their services and advice. I would never suggest that you use a shop for advice and then take your business elsewhere...Wow you guys get pretty defensive relativley easily...

How can the prices be great is the subs are ?

I bought my subs from SD when they had the free ship sale on them. I saved about $75US in shipping costs alone
