Help me build a "Amazon" system for my bike

I'm not certain of the rules here but I'm not liking this particular way of droning up business in nearly every thread.

Totally agree! If the system is stated openly chances are someone here has installed it and can give objective feed back on said system. Namely all of us crazy guys who install speakers and amps every chance we get. Any system I throw out there has been road tested and verified and I have no reservations about telling these guys the results. Good or bad.

HAHAHA Whoah calm down boys. Im just trying to help him out. As you all know it will depend on how many speakers, music he likes, type of riding he does. If he would consider Pro audio. Thats what I mean by walking him through it. LOL Im not trying to hide anything or talk someone into anything.

this is my one gripe with the audio forums here and on facebook. somebody asks about a product and its always pm for pricing. Now I say this with no knowledge of forum rules on this or rules distrubutors have on posting prices. I will say every shop owner has been awesome with info and all are very willing to help out.

That's how it's "supposed" to work. How you circumvent that is by saying PM me and not openly posting. Nature of hunting down a deal.
I guess here, we enjoy audio discussions regardless if it's average joe or a vendor so we want to hear the recommendations and "discuss".

Amazon has a lot of unauthorized sales of products. No big deal till warranty time. You buy Hertz off Amazon I wouldn't expect a warranty. That aside whatever woofers etc IS Authorized to sell is available on there. Problem lately is advise from 20 people with common ground hardly there, a uninformed consumer, and after all 20 recommendations they keep asking more and more. Some days even with best intentions a person gets more confused than intended. So if a decent setup is suggested, unless a BIG reason to not run it, we as a group must stop after the first 2-3 good suggestions tops. We all have our favorites and personal choices.

Haze its not so much of the trying to talk someone in or out of something in my opinion. Yes you are correct that we are not allowed to openly post prices other than full retail. Say for instance if I am running a sale which I will be shortly for forum members I cant post the price because its not retail. I am not breaking any rules of pricing agreement but I still cant do it because of one reason.
While I may be able to afford running a sale other vendors that sell the same product may not be able to. so if they go complain the manufacture has to cater to all its vendors so I get in trouble. Hence the rule of no prices.
That being said yes some vendors do use the PM as a way of under cutting others. It is as you said a nature of the beast. I have no problem discussing the ups and downs of any particular product if I have knowledge of it as I think yall are starting to see. However I will not post prices either because I am not fielding the call from my distributor yelling at me lol.
Also while I see there is a lot of knowledge offer freely on here it is sometimes easier as I am sure you can agree to offer advice(not sell anything) to a person with out other distractions.
That's just my 2 cents
