Buy em up people, keep the economy rolling. And in 2 yrs when the price drops to $50 for the same item, maybe I'll bite too  |
Im going to disagree strongly here.
Back in the early 90's you really couldnt get Car Audio anywhere but a specialty car audio store... At least the good stuff.
Fast forward to around 95 when Best Buy invaded... You could go in and get Balupunkt 12's for $99 each. Thats what I almost bought.
Fast forward a few more years. Stores like Best buy have their own brand name, Insignia, developed to offer a mediocre product for cheap. End result, cheap product. Heck you could go in get 2 12,s box, amp and wiring for $200. Thats the price point that Best Buy created and now everyone thinks they can get 12s, box and amp for it.
Which is about impossible with decent equipment.
Thats why I was shocked to see Crunch have the lower prices subs and cheaper amps...
