Can anyone advise me if this is a good deal? Should I negotiate? If so, what amount for the B1 or JBL is a fair or good deal to propose?
Note: I am still a novice to trucking and sound systems.
Thank you all in advance.

 

I can’t help you regarding if it’s a good deal or not but it’s pretty ballsy to expressly admit tax evasion/fraud in an email to potential customers.

It’s been clear they weren’t the brightest but this takes it to a new level.

 

@AZBoatHauler , how are they evading tax/Fraud?
I don't follow.
Please kindly enlighten me.

 

The way I'm reading what you posted, if you pay cash (no forced paper trail of the financial transaction) they give you a "discount" by not charging for sales tax. If you pay by check, debit card or credit card(paper trail of transaction triggering sales tax on goods sold), you "... will be charged sales tax and lose discount"

Not really a discount when its money that is supposed to be sent to the .gov, right?

 

Ahh, I see where you are coming from.

 

There's a reason why their name gets ***'d out.....Too many people had bad experiences. I'm wondering what their "fiberglass upgrade" is.

I would just go through and piece your system together. You'll get better quality components.

 

Mmmm subjective... on business practice, lol.. I take my business to a wheel, tire and wheel repair shop. His rate for wheel repair is usually 100, but if you pay cash its 50. So I usually deal with cash, but its word of mouth...

I would advise a YouTube search and guidance, for better performing equipment at a lower cost. That's what I've been doing. I want to upgrade my Tundra and SC400 audio systems.

 

Don't buy from them. Terrible customer service. I bought my system from them while it sounds great and it's quality their customer service is atrocious. Give James at tech12volts a call. He'll take care of you. Stay away from that company

 

My issue with them is their propriety items, and apparent (i've never dealt with them) lack of customer service, in the long run.

I just used James, and spent a pretty penny but installed it all myself. For less than your 1B quote installed, I have VERY nice gear, from name brands, and I did the sound deadening. I'd encourage you to do the same. It isn't difficult, just requires some tenacity. I did a thread in the audio subform.
