Cheap, new, authorized car audio -- I have an "in"!

[Radarcontact]

Hey guys,

My friend Greg in Miami is an Air Traffic Controller, like me, but he also does some really awesome custom audio install work. I was talking to him the other day and I asked him if I could offer "barely above dealer cost"to the fanatics. He got back to me yesterday and said he would do it!
I sent him a list of stuff I thought fanatics would be interested in, and he's working up a price list for me as I write this. All prices will include free shipping if you mention my name, "RadarContact" in your email. That way he will know where the business is coming from, and will honor the lower prices.
He isnt a retail seller, which means it may take a week to get the product you want, if it's not something he keeps on hand. But all merchandise will be brand new, and fully warrantied by the manufacturer...he's authorized, in other words.
I'll post a price list of the components I asked him about in a few days. Expect stuff from DLS, Arc Audio, Massive Audio, and maybe some others...:thumbup:
(I also posted this to my buds on e46fanatics)

Really, where at? That's great! Study hard; it's no joke, huh?
I have been a controller since 1988. I absolutely love the job! The only time I hate going to work is when there's something I want to get done to my car! Lol

I'm studying at Community College of Baltimore County. They have a 2 year CTI program here and have lots of great equipment. Right now its just starting for me so they are pretty much teaching us how to fly so we understand what pilots going through. There is a lot of stuff to learn but all of it is extremely interesting so it makes it easier to take in.

Well good luck to you! :)

No worries at all, just thinking that might be a good place as well, no need to move it. You might just want to post a link to this thread in that one.

Hey Radar, can you speak on the performance/sound of the component speakers? IE: they sound like, BSW, Alpine, etc...

[Radarcontact]

Frogs...I'm afraid that's a question that can't be answered honestly, by anyone. Let me explain.

I can take speaker A and install it slightly different in two cars and get two completely different sounds from it. And what sounds "bright" to me might sound "mellow" to you. VERY subjective.

I can say this, though. Mass-produced speakers (what I call mid-fi - Sony, JVC, Kenwood, Clarion, Pioneer, lower lines of Boston, Alpine, etc.) are produced to make money in much larger ratios than smaller "esoteric" brand speakers. In other words, you get more value from the lesser-known brands. Here's an analogy, although maybe not a good one: if you ask someone what a good quality brand of bicycle is, they might say SCHWINN. If you,ask them what an OK band is, they might say HUFFY. Both SCHWINN and HUFFY make mass-produced bikes, with SCHWINN being the better brand, lets say. SCHWINN bikes are proportionately higher priced and proportionately better, but HUFFY bikes are proportionately cheaper and proportionately crappier. Both companies work off of a 65% profit margin relative to their pricing. NOW, ask someone who REALLY knows about bikes and they may answer TREK, or CANNONDALE. These companies operate on a smaller scale, make much better bikes, and only look for a 30% profit margin. So if you can afford it, you would want the CANNONDALE or TREK, right? Same thing with speakers, believe it or not.

I think, personally, that if you have pretty good amounts of amplifier power (100+ watts per channel for the fronts/mains), then you will be AMAZED by the RM6.2 by DLS. They are a little power-hungry, that's the down-side.
This is a system that should cost SO MUCH MORE, but doesn't! Killer mid-bass punch, mellow and smooth top end, high quality construction from Sweden; Germany, Sweden, and Denmark are where some of the best sounding speakers (not subwoofers) are produced.

Hope that helps.
