Its all about Kickers new Livin Loud campaign!!! Aka. the "make the most money possible campaign". Circut City is losing Alpine, so they need a new "high end" product. Its actually nice for me becasue as soon as I turn 18 (July 11th) im getting a job at CC, that means I can get good deals on Kicker stuff kicker and circuit city! -- posted image.

This is going to be good, its going to brings us some really good equipment at low prices, its about time companies used more mass outlet stores to get there products to us

While I still think local shops are a great enviroment, I and many others dont like to over pay for equipment and no local shop can buy in the volume as a major retail outlet, even very few internet sites have that type of buying power

Will the quality of the product go down ofcourse it wil, but we will all get over it and things will work themselves out in time

i was looking at an MTX amp today on CC website. the MTX MXA6001, 300 W RMS @ 4 ohm is running 359.99. i'm not quite sure what pricing should be on MTX but it seems a little high.

Bah..that MTX amp is overpriced, but that's how these places make their money (even BB and CC). They make their money off selling to the uninformed consumer. It's not a bad thing really. You pay retail when you buy from CC and BB but you pay more than that when you go to a local shop for the most part. Shops will generally have MUCH better installers than CC or BB. Some of the installers there have little to no experience at all.

I can't speak for everywhere, but where I live we have shops that sell for the same or less than BB or CC. The thing I keep pointing to is this; lots of people go to BB and CC because they ASSUME they are cheaper. And you know when you assume, it makes an A$$ out of U and ME. I look at the total picture and what I see is some of the shabbiest installs you can imagine. I have seen shadetree installs that top some of their work. Not to say ALL of their installers are bad. People like pimpincavy and others will do work, but you have some that just want a paycheck. A shop HAS to do good work, or it won't survive long. I don't want to offend anybody. This is my just my opinion.
