Stereo shopping

Anyone know of the good online place to buy from an authorized Pioneer dealer? I want to get the new MP3 WMA deck in soon. Not sure which one I want, the OEL display is cool, but may be a little too fancy for a truck. I was thinking of the Pioneer DEH-P550MP

Try Crutchfield. Been buying from them for years. Very good service. Your install stuff comes free with your purchase.

No can do, install kits aren't too expensive, at least they don't make up for over $100 more that Crutchfield charges for the decks I am looking at. Thanks though.

I would go with crutchfield or etronics.com. I have had very good service with both in the past, and it's going to be hard to beat etronics.com's prices.

I have the DEH-8400MP in my truck. I love it. I used to be a big sony fan, but I switched over to Pioneer and IMO they're great.

I don't know about being an Authorized Seller, but Discounts Jungle carries the 550 for $139. Their stuff is at a pretty good price compared to some of the other websites. Good luck!

Try "SOUND DOMAIN" They have good prices, A heck of alot cheaper than Crutchfields. They will beat any advertised price. I bought two Pioneers (one for my brother) and a Pioneer infinity BASSLINK Subwoofer that they pricematched from Etronics. I was pleased with that kind of service.

The Install kit and Wiring harness are definately way cheaper to buy than anything crutchfield lists.

Its all over ebay for about 150-160. I would rather go with the sony xplod cdx-mp40 which you can fid about $20 cheaper on ebay. I have one that comes factory in boat driving 2 600w amps, 6 speakers and a sub, and it sounds great.

Crutchfield and ebay are two great places to start

try this site out...found a lot of good deals here...Saving Lots

Wow, loads of info. Thanks guys. I am now looking at the Apline systems, a friend who manages an outfit in Oregon changed my mind, said the new Alpines sound much better, so I am shopping the planet for the best deals. A little wary of eBay when purchasing electronics, don't want factory refurbs or grey market stuff. Awesome, though, thanks again.

Crutchfield is a great place to do some research, as they have a huge selection and a lot of information about each product they sell. You can also use their menus to compare a bunch of products and find out exactly what will fit your application.

Prices are crazy though, I found the best place for prices to be www.ikesound.com - they sell stuff at about 10 dollars above the employee discount, which is 5% over cost if I remember correctly. So you're getting good products for just above cost, and they're authorized dealers of all their products unless they actually state that they're not of a particular brand. (Does that make sense?)
