first, the manufacturer sells too high from the begining, just because it's a specialty/luxary product... something you really don't need. lets focus our energy on these sorry fvck's. why do you think sooo many new car audio manufacturers are popping up? it's a very lucrative business. hardly any of the product is original. all you need is a parts list catalog, order your stuff and put your name on it. how much do you think it cost a company to build one DLS A3(retails for $750)? you can throw in shipping cost, taxes, blah blah blah... it cost dls about $30 to build that amp. they sell it to distributor for $300. you do the math. these fvcks charge too much, and were tired of it. diyer's spend more time and money on new gear, and we offer free advertising here. we should get breaks not only because were cool like that, but because we don't need expert advise to go with the product.
