Thats why we try and point them in the right direction, and help em understand JL and kicker arent all thats out there.Stick with the mainstream. JL, Kicker, Alpine, RF. Around here shops get most of there business from kids that dont know what they're doing.
yeah because of you I see tons of audiopipe and crunch on craigslist //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif heck my ap15001d probably originated from you shop (this is not a bad thing, means you are moving product)Around here I sell more Jensen Flip outs than anything. I sell more Maxonics(Crunch/Hifonics/Autotek) Amps/Subs than anything. I also sell alot of audiopipe Subs....
My Buddy is a kicker rep and He is the only one in the town allowed to have kicker auth. Another guys is a JL Rep and we can still carry JL. I cant buy Kicker Unless I buy from the auth rep(which i do since he gives good deals lol) There is also 3 Car Audio Shops that carry MTX, Power Bass, JVC, Sony, ect...
Kickers buy in isnt too bad at all IMO
JLs buy in is like $2500 quarterly....
Rockfords prices are too steep to there vendors P2 12s was like $115(my price) last year when I was carring them
what is your Buy-in mr. fuller???? for shops and for product reps????Memphis is actually one of the most dealer friendly brands out there that is well recognized, IMO. MUCH hard to find their stuff online at stupid cheap prices than Kicker, MTX, Rockford, and Alpine.
JL is also good but has high minimums.
Dealers that are willing to push a new product do well with Sundown -- most of my dealers also carry Memphis and/or DD as well.
Panasonic has been gone for a year now.Not a JL fan but they will let any store carry it where kicker will make sure there is not another store to close so I would for sure pick up JL I would also look into another line that carrys cd players You have pioneer and jvc but maby one more Eclipse panasonic kenwood alpine ect
Kicker,MTX,Memphis, are not a good idea, you will probably lose your ass, the net is flooded with the stuff, RF, JL, or Alpine will get you the most credibilty.Unless you want to give away the product and just make your money on installation only.
