I don't support scumbag chain stores. They just salavate when a newb walks through the door, but what happens when someone that knows what their doing comes in?!?!

I've seen them **** over so many of my friends it makes me sick.

Holy crap....................first someone brings this post back from the dead......................then I find myself agreeing with Defro .........................

Internet Electronic "Retailers" are scum....................pure form of it...........get some money...suck it up and open a real store where you can sell product....help people one on one..........and give them service.............

Case in point......etailer sells amp "A" to putz customer............putz customer installs said amp in the wrong way or the wrong application....................in the putz'z eye......this amp now sucks............who is going to look bad.............the amplifier brand..........(IT SUCKS !!!! says the customer)..............the customer has no tech support............no one.......... he can't go into the store and be educated and ask questions about the application or the install.......or have the chance to be explained that maybe this is a little big for his undertaking and it should be installed properly................

Electronics internet retailers are bad for the industry and bad for the business................and the manufactureres that support it are just as bad (and everyone of us HAS to deal with a manufacturer that does )................If I could do business with only companies that don't support online sales in some fashion I don't think I would have many lines............

jordy, if someone came here and said that he put incriminator amps in his car and they made his woofer sound bad, then proceeded to beak off about how all incriminator amps are bad and oeverpriced and poorly marketed, what would you think. just because they didnt work for him doesnt mean that all incriminator amps are bad, or does it, i dont think so
True... you didn't bash him. My apologies.

If someone come on here and said he didn't like Incriminator amps I would ask him why he thought that. If he said he had a bad experience and that they didn't suit his needs then I would be fine with that.

Notice where Prolifik said that he doesn't like them based on his experiences and the fact that they don't suit his application.

btw, as much as I agree with him about what he said in regards to those companies that doesn't mean I would never run their equipment. For the purposes of SPL competitions I would never use any equipment by most of the big companies.

For daily driving though.. I loved my Kicker L5 and JBL amp

Ouch...

So I'm scum because I've done what I can to try and help out the dying SPL scene in Canada by bringing in products that have NEVER been available in the Canadian retail market before?

2loud4you competition products never have been and if it weren't for me bringing them over never would be available in Canada. (retail or not)...

Well, for one I don't have the money. Second, I don't have the installation expertise. Third, I already have a great career that I'm basically set for the rest of my life with. Why would I give that up for a "maybe" like running a shop?

So even though I don't have the resources to open up a shop, that should exclude the whole country from getting certain products? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Btw.. don't you think you're being a bit hypocritical considering you sell your own products on the HzEmall site?

What makes it acceptable for you to sell over the net, but not anyone else? (not bashing, asking sincerely)

online shoppers should be roasted over open coals and have their *********(if they have them)served as appetizers to a hoard of angry brick and mortar owners or they can shop where they please with their money.
