newbie looking for best place online to buy and amp

Does everyone realize that they are pushing out the local retailer by buying on-line???? Don't you want someone to talk to when something goes wrong??? Don't bitch and complain when the local guys are no longer in business because you wanted to save a few dollars...I feel it is safe to say that most local retailers will blow you away when it comes to showing off there gear, and they want you guys to have the same experience...

The truth is that most things are manufactured in China, and in my opinion is just made to make noise. We have sold out. You say your a veteran, so you will agree that the stuff we buy on-line or at the local retailer is crap compared to the old school stuff. Eg. We took a Rockford Punch 100 (15 years ago) and bridged to a .25 ohm load and ran that thing for over 1/2 hour and guess what did it again the next day with the same amp...unbeatable, amazing equipment....Now your lucky to get 1/2 hour run with anything at 1 ohm.... Veterans think they know what they want, but the truth is Alpine is not the same Alpine as old, and Rockford is not the same as old. Performance magazines tell you what the manufactures can afford and if you want quality your not going to see and feel it on-line, Sorry but that is the honest to stereo world truth...

Well maybe if local guys started carrying more variety and become reasonable in their prices then maybe we wont have a reason to patronize online stores. They need to get with the program.
For example, I got a 1/0 gauge amp kit for 70 bucks shipped from the states. I went to a local guy today and he wanted 169 for a 1/0 kit. Our money is higher so they should adjust prices to reflect this, I know they have to get rid of their current stock before then can adjust the prices.

Next: what's you point? If I buy the same equipment online or at your local store won't change the reliability of the equipment. You say all the equipment is junk now, so why should it make a difference where I buy it? So, essentially, you're saying that I should shop locally for crap equipment and pay more for it...really????
