This Is Why We Use Brick and Mortar Audio shops...

[_S7V7N_]

All about personal preference and personal experience. It's car audio in general,some people swear by a certain brand while others say it sucks Loll...by the looks of it over a 1000 people had bad experiences.

That little article was brought to my attention by the shop owner. He got it from the 12V Insider I'd imagine.

Thanks for the heads up bro. Something to look out for, and be aware of. I know when i order off ebay i check the seller rating and look at the complaints to see if they have any on the product i'm ordering. The Article is Very Educational.

That's all I was trying to do...have anyone here avoid getting the bait and switch.

Heck, didn't I just recommend that you get a panel popper set on e-bay versus paying the astronomical Snap-On price? You can also probably find that popper set at a GOOD auto parts or hardware store. I say "good" because most corner stores won't have the plastic poppers like you're looking for.

That being said, we're only talking $20-ish dollars versus hundred or even thousands...

Most certainly did man, and even then i know what to look for now i'll search a bit and see if i can find something very similiar around here if not i'll order online. Thanks for the help bruh .

Wrong - I've been to a show like that (where even as an IASCA certified Judge myself, I was appalled at the way it was run and shocked it was allowed to exist)

Wrong again (I've been to another show like that, even Earl Zausmer was there and I think he had the highest sound quality score ever scored at the time of that event)

Wrong again (in fact I was at such a show one of the years that I qualified for the finals)

Wrong again (I've been to IASCA dbl point and triple point events that were run by "fly by night shops" AND!!! they were in bed with major corporate sponsors (Alpine / Stillwater / Rockford(back in the day) etc...
