    You gotta be shitting me!!! When you click on the car audio link it takes you to Crutchfield.

    That sucks bigtime! I bought a lot of stuff from Cardomain.

    I thought something was off a few weeks ago when I was trying to browse for some amplifiers and only like 2 models came up.

    Damn - a sad day in car audiodom.

    man... I'm really upset.

    I hope they'll bring back their audio stuff one day. looks like they still have auto parts:

    ^ yeah, thats true. they had some crazy thing going on during october where literally everything was on sale for so damn cheap. I started wondering if they were damaged or something. and like its already been mentioned, their inventory did seem to have very few products for the past little while.

    kinda sucks. thank god for crutchfield!

    That's too bad......I've bought a couple of things from them. One being one of my Pioneer DEH-P8600's, and the other the microphone for my Eclipse CD7000.


    One of my favorite places to shop online is Crutchfield. I've been dealing with those guys since back in the mid 90's.

    Glad to see them go. I ordered twice from them and both times the item showed in stock, order accepted, ordered verified and then weeks later I still dont have the item and have to call them only to find out they didnt carry it anymore. One of the orders was for an amp and I passed up a really good deal on a used amp of the same model to order it new from them.

    While their service was not up to the levels of Crutchfield, it was nice to have another source for purchasing car audio.

    Ive ordered quite a few things from them in the past and always had excellent service.

    Ive heard that theyre not out for good - theyre going to go in with another internet dealer and open another online store in the next few months.

    they were good because they sold a wide variety of mfg's at lower prices... for example... a 2-pack of 0awg ring terminals from Lightning Audio or Phoenix Gold would go for about 4 bucks... Crutchfield / Circuit City wanted like 10 to 20 bucks.

    i agree... very sad.

    but at least we still have www.ikesound.com

    I know crutchfield is loven it. There business will double now. I never buy from these places anymore they are way to high. onlinecarstereo.com is the bomb. They always have new products at half the cost of crutchfield. Bump a warrenty if you can buy it at half price. When you pay retail price you are just paying for the warrenty anyway. And a lot of companys don't want to warrenty **** these days anyway. Which now I can't blame them because most car audio **** has been abused and overpowered most of the time.

    Apparently they are just revamping the online store. I got an email about it last week. I've bought many items from them and will continue to in the future. Great guys!
