    Default Has Anyone Bought Car Audio Online?

    Pleasee provide feedback, share experiences, or make reccomendations of good sites they use.

    I am considering buying from woofersetc.com, but I am a little skeptical.

    I had a great experience with crutchfield and they helped me get my sub replaced when the voice coil blew.

    I don't really care about a warranty, I just want to know if they are lower quality products. My friend bought an Alpine Type X from etronics for $300 but it didn't sound right to me. It may have just been underpowered, but I am still concerned.

    So please share any experiences you have had or make reccomendations of good sites.

    i get everything from Crutchfield. A+++ service. if you're gonna order online, that's where you need to do it. don't even waste your time on ebay.

    oh, if you happen to stumble across "hifisoundconnection.com" or something like that, don't be fooled into ordering from them. I ordered an Infinity 7541a from them, waited for about a week, and i heard nothing from them. So, i emailed, i called, etc. only to find out that they were out of stock and didn't tell me before i ordered. But, i eventually got the amp, about 3 weeks later lol. same thing happened with a cap. i ordered from there. very bad service.

    I bought most of my speakers on eBay. They were Kickers, and at the time they were top of the line listing for like $200.

    Got 'em for $65 shipped.
