Should I buy online?

New member Username: Gubbar924Post Number: 7 Registered: Nov-05 | hey guys, for what I wanna get, its obviously cheaper for me to buy online and have a shop install the parts for me rather than buying and installing by the shop. My question is that since Diamond Audio wants you to buy from authorized dealers only in order for them to recognize your warranty, and since they dont authorize any online shop ... should I risk buying the sub and amp online? Also, what amp kit and LOC should I use? I'm most likely gonna have a single Diamond Audio D6 12 inch sub installed with Diamond Audio D61000.1 amp ... thats if you guys think its ok to buy online. If you dont think its ok, then I'll just change the amp to the D3600.1 (money reasons). I'll be having this installed in my new 2006 accord, still have my factory HU and speakers in it. |

There are many online companies that will warranty their equipment themselves not through the retailer so look into that also. |

Silver Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 752 Registered: Oct-05 | this kit wasn't designed for the hu with 6 disc so he had to re-route a couple of wires. i lost the use of auto climate control function. i figured auto climate wasn't important. |
