Silver Member Username: MmaudioconceptsPost Number: 547 Registered: Jan-07 | Ok so I now have a shop. Basically I became an owning partner of a shop that was already in town. The owner got pretty busy and inventory is low. We are an authorized dealer for memphis,orion, and fusion. I need to pick up another budget line. I was thinking hifonics, or mtx, does anyone have any opinions. |

Another option is Kicker and Sony. While Sony makes doo doo equipment, people don't know that and will buy it. Kicker makes nice products and people always get woodys over them as well. Hate to say it, but Audiobahn sells pretty big in my area as well. What about MB Quart, Focal, Viper alarms, or Pioneer? Good luck with the business venture. |

Maxxsonics has alot of great budget lines. Try picking up Autotek and Hifonics from them. And MTX is not exacly budget... |

Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO / ASU Post Number: 3377 Registered: Jul-05 | Alpine, JL, Rockford Fosgate = Making money. Unless you are a strictly custom shop that is shooting for the 1% of people into car audio you need to carry brands like that. Ive seen honestly 10-12 shops get shut down in the STL area from carrying brands noone knows. Get a solid brand like Alpine and then also have your "real" brands like RE, DD, etc... |
