As a rule of thumb that I use most manufacturers and some retailers build in 20-35% of profit in any product at a minimum. This is from my experiences... Granted if you get quoted that say (hypothetically speaking) for instance KW V3's are $2100.00 retail I am pretty sure you can haggle them down to $1800 and even $1700 if your good!!! its all in the deal. I bought my KW V3's for my s2000 for $1650 shipped and they retailed for $2100+... so the money is there its just whether or not you can work a relationship and a good deal. the only way these retailers will survive is good old fashion word of mouth. I know this for a fact... Get a good deal and a customer will speak loudly about what a great deal they got and then it becomes a numbers game... quantity over quality!
