after hearing so many debates from the non car audio people here at work i'm currious to hear opinions from people that matter. you the car audio gurus. so lets play clean no tyson style moves. just lookin for straight info. XM or Sirrius which one should be king of sattelite radio and why.

whichever one makes you the most $$$ is the best one, both have VERY similar programming, both cost the same per month, you had best read the resposes here pretty quick, cuz me thinks this thread might get shut down, or maybe not cuz this is 'da void, we'll see, dont listen to andy hes a dork, xm all the way. gates isnt rich enough yet, the main argument about sirius is the higher orbit of the satellites compared to xm, the farther up north you are the better reception you will get, but xm works mint as far north as vanderhoof, wherever the fock that is

I think the main choice is what people want in channel selection................around here they both work great...........the gear is all priced about the same.....................

I think it comes down to content..........

XM works all the way up in Deese Lake, which is about 4 hours away from the Yukon Border, So no real range issues there, unless you're an eskimo

well, we started selling Audiovox Sirius recievers at work, and I have a trucker that's been up in the Territories with no drop out.

I am undecided as I've never used either.

i have customers that go WAYYYYY farther than dease lake, (not too far from here) and say their xm never cuts out.

XM it is then, unless someone wants satelite radio for thier driftwood deck, ew still undecided on decision to bring in kenwood. i prefer the xm commander setup to the sirrius recievers we got today from a size standpoint. the sirrius tuners are HUGE. bills big argument is that cbc is on board with sirrius. if another person that doesnt belong in car audio starts filling my customers heads with bull**** i am gonna feed it back to them with a spoon, in a not so comfortable place. i think marty knows where i am going with this. jus fed up with some peoples children :mad:
but anyways he guys thanks for your input. look forward to seeing you up here next week dave, cant wait to see what we can do with this store.

i did just bring in some of the kenwood tuners for the guy that has 10 buddies with sirius and just wont have it any other way, but the main focus will be on xm and the commander and alpine units

yeah i been buggin tim tryin to find out when the blitz kits for alpine are going to be available. the ipod interface sounds like a pretty cool toy cant wait to check it out.

IMO, it would come down to programming.
Technology and reception aside, who wants to listen to 100 channels of crap?
I had heard that sirrus is geared a little more towards a younger croud...
