hahahaah jokes. i said that cuz it sounded real nice and your box was pretty. not cuz you told me you have a million watt stereo.

well, when a person buys their stereo at wal mart or canadian tire i think they only have themselves to blame. As far as best buy and future shop goes, sales people there might know a thing or two but it's not in their best interest to speak the truth.

you hit the nail on the head. there main goal is to sell you the most expensive product possible. if you go in and say i want a loud system, they're gonna give you the most expensive equipment you have. a buddy of mine fried a pioneer woofer there cause he didnt want it anymore and had a protection plan. (he used my amp @ 2 ohms) i told the guy that the coils were reading rediculous numbers on a multimeter. he looked at me like i said something in hebrew.

to conclude, this petition is made i believe to try and help educate those who are stickly non car audio looking for decent products. if ratings are kept true, the buyer can better choose his product. a 2000W american bass amp or a 2000W power acoustik amp... you choose
