I have been getting flamed for suggesting in other posts that I might buy from an online dealer south of the boarder.

I dunno, my system is american, but they come direct from the companies (soundsplinter and elemental designs)
so I have warranty and what not.

 

PM Car Trek

 

PM me i'm a Image Dealer might be able to help you out

I suggest the Image Dynamics ID-MAXV3

 

I buy subs and speakers off eBay. Most sellers come with a 1 year warranty themselves. I bought two 12" Alpine SWR-1242D for 290$ CDN. They are like 300$ a piece at any store over here.

 

I wouldn't say its gettin flamed, it is just that we would rather support the local economy. Which in turn raises the Canadian dollar value, and also helps keep the sport alive in Canada.

If everyone bought from the states or online, there would be no need for actual shops here, which would = no shows. So even though I might be able to get something for $20 online, I will still support local. Local, being Canada, cause I am gettin a set of morels from Tim. Even though his shop is in BC, and I am in Alberta.

 

buying in your location also helps to keep more money in the local economy and stimulate more and better jobs

 

not too mention, buying from a local shop helps you too. I found by getting to know my local shop (electronics and appliances), I get better deals, on everything I buy there. Easier warrenty, with immediate replacement (when in stock). But if you are looking for something that can't be found at your local shop, and you have to have that brand, then if you have to go online than you have to go online. Can't really do alot about that. To each there own I say. I prefer local shops, but everyone is entitled to there opinion.

 

anyone with advanced macroeconomic knowledge here?
you might support buying from whomever makes the best product for the best price... it encourages efficiency, economies of scale, lower prices and overall a higher GDP... but do we want that?

 

buying locally puts something like 69% of the profit back into the local economy
buying elsewhere puts how muck back?
who's going to give me a job ?

oh and i forgot that something in the order or 75 % of all jobs are from small businesses of 5 poeple or less
