    online audio retailers

    Do most people buy their speakers/amps/etc from retail stores or ones online? I know it's a good idea to listen to speakers first hand so one can choose what sounds best to him/her, but what retail stores carry a good range of speakers? (I haven't been to BB or CC in a while, do they? )
    Also, are there any online sites that generally offer good deals? Something along the lines of a Newegg for car audio? And, what's everyone's opinion about crutchfield.com, as far as pricing goes, etc?

    Crutchfield has the same prices as BB/CC. Great to do business with, but a little expensive.

    As for online audio websites, their are plenty. To name a few, onlinecarstereo.com, ikesound.com, cbrstereo.com, cardomain.com, acoustic-visions.com. However, a lot of better brands do not offer warranties through online purchases. Don't have to worry about that with Crutchfield, but like mentioned before, you don't save by going their.

    But it is good to support car audio specific B&M stores. Think of it like this, if you do all your purchasing online, then B&M stores won't be able to stay in business, and then you will lose the luxury of going into a store to look at things, and you will lose the convenience of getting an item the same day you buy it.
