We have dealers...but more of an on an install kinda basis, where they were making the money on the install rather than the product.

I liked the stuff enough to move 600 miles to work here, but I'm not going to claim to be some crazy SQ person, I just like my music to be all there and not sound bad.

Now...am I going to pretend we can compete with the DLS car from Japan that was at CES....hell no I'm not...that thing was insane. Sounded like it didn't even have speakers....was....perfect.

see, I know that the DLS car won all kinds of stuff as IASCA finals. Unfortunately I never had a chance to listen to it.

But, of the many many folks I did hear listen to it, it left a bit to be desired. Though the comment about it not having speakers was common.

I know that it's probably back in Thailand now...maybe they will bring another car over next year!

Ok...so maybe perfect was a bit far...it was very...umm...different?

Definitely like nothing I've ever heard before and very good...the transparancy of the speakers though was definitely amazing. That and the amount of work that went into it.

when they were at IASCA finals, there were like 7 of them cleaning, polishing, settting up. It was crazy to see that much work going on around the car at finals. I was deffinately happy to see them win as many awards as they did. No doubt that car had a LOT of work put into it.

Well...he's the only one that sells online

The rest are small brick and mortars who maybe stock an amp + a couple subs + a component set, and just pick stuff up when someone wants it.

well in that case...I'll make my statement again....how were you handling your dealers when you were essentially underselling them?

Right now, the few we have, I don't think they give people itemized lists of what they're paying, it's more like a package. You're buying an installed stereo, and that's all they know.
