There are plenty of reputable shops out there. Most of the highend brands are very particular about the people they let sell their product. It seems that buying online to save money is a great idea but most people don't realize the effect it has on the Industry they love.
Say I own a shop and you decide to buy it online instead of paying the 100 extra it costs at retail. The sale that is taken from a local business leads to them shutting their doors and leads too less product sold for that particular manufacturer. This is called the race to zero.
Its the reason why alot of the brands that used to be quality are now junk. Decreased volume leads to outsourcing to save money. Fosgate and kicker are just a couple examples of product no longer made in the US. Most people dont realize the effect of buying unauthorized equipment online. Find a reputable shop tha carries the high end brands you want and most will meet you half way on pricing.
