No offense to any parties involved...suppliers or dealers...but it's all a bunch of ********. Get real. Car audio is like barley hanging on these days. If I call up and order 15 amps, who's going to seriously question that? Everyone wins...the manufacturer, the dealer, and the customer. The manufacturers fight hard to uphold their policies, but they are about as tight as $20 hooker. A day's end, you're left with a "don't ask, don't tell" policy, in reality.
Don's a good guy and I'm sure the other two are as well. They are honest business men trying to make a living in a struggling economy - not to mention a decaying market for "high end" car audio equipment.
Woofer's Etc is probably 4-5 different companies that transship their merchandise from a some dudes garage in LA. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif To some they are scum, to MANY OTHERS they are fine. As long as they keep selling, it's quite convenient for manufactures to turn a blind eye. After all, the products get out there and that's what's important.
