Anyone have a phone # for The Zeb?

The progression was first, manufacturers like CDT stopped supplying them because they couldn't get in touch with them. Then the inventory on the site started shrinking. Then they said they were moving. Then the site and phones went black. Classic signs of going down the drain.Don Sambrook

I just got off of the phone with US Acoustics inquiring about where I can get a 2050 amp. The lady told me that they had just received a chpater 7 notice from the Zeb. She seemed like it was unexpected and had come out of the blue. I hope they aren't out too much money from this.

Uhh? Huh? This isn't accurate.. I've followed CDT's lines on thezeb for months and just finished putting $600 worth of CDT speakers from thezeb into my car not three weeks ago. Indeed, the CDT lines on thezeb were actually *growing* having added several models of subwoofers and xovers over the last couple of weeks. Can you link to the threads on the other forums I would be interested to read them. I've always had great experiences from thezeb and my impression of the site was that it was of the quality, if not size, of the impressive cardomain bundle of websites.

Hmm. In my town, I don't believe a single car specialty shop in business now was in business 5 years ago. I can count 5 that have shut down in the last 3 years alone. One was, however, due to IRS intervention. That made the local news cuz the owner had some tricked out Viper that got siezed along with everything else he owned and the local paper had a pic of it getting loaded onto a flatbed.

Huh I read out all those bad feedback scores on eBay and it looks like... no suprise here... that on the 19th they suddenly turned off. There are like 3000+ really positive comments before that. ... then they all changed to like "No phone, no mail, no gear..." Crazy."I'm finished!" - Daniel Plainview

I just got a reply from The Zeb for an email I sent a few days ago saying I wanted to buy an amp. re: [1C4-0AF443C5-2DC6]: Are you guys still open? Thank you for your message to theZEB.com.   This email is to notify you that we have received your message and we will respond as soon as possible. Warmest Regards, theZEB.com

Congrats kgerry, yes it can be done ( Thurs. will be 23 years for me ), the drawback is the " I install for all my friends " guy opens up shop with not enough capital, no business plan and no management experience and quickly goes down. In my time doing this in our little town of 40,000 people I've lost track of how many shops have come and gone.There is no such thing as free installation!
