Car Audio retailer recomendations.

[montypythizzle]

Uh, where should I look for car audio? I want a Neweggish retailer (cheap prices/good service/tons of stuff that's organized) of the car audio market. I am really just looking for a cheap head unit and some 5X7s, and probably a subwoofer, box and amplifier that is sort of small.

Just post here. Thanks.

crutchfield has always had great service for me, but i'm not sure how good their prices are (have no reference really)

Ya, I read their magazines a few time, but same with you, have no idea on their prices.

PE has top of the line stuff, but noobs won't know it. They cater to the DIY crowd. Not at all neweggy. Sonicelectronix has a good selection and is fairly cheap, Crutchfield is WAY overpriced, but if you are a noob, their excellent support justifies it.

They have about the same prices on the items I need from Crutchfield. Also, got a head unit/Speakers today. Nothing better than rigging up a stereo with a pack of tea light candles, Janis Joplin tape, and a roll of electrical tape.

At least I can listen to my iTouch instead of looking like a tool driving with AKGs on. Honestly the stock speakers sound like crap, but until I get a set of Torx bits I am fkd.
