Looking for common supplies for audio shop...Wire, RCAs, fuse holders, loom, carpet, etc.

Anyone know of a good place to purchase at wholesale prices? My current supplier is also the local audio store/distributer  and I'm almost paying retail on supplies. I've looked at a couple of ebay stores, but would rather deal with a real distributer not some ebay store front.

Contact the manufacturers for a list of their distributors in your area.

Do you have brands you like?
I liked dealing with metra. They took pretty good care of us, carried more stuff than we needed and were only 30 miles away if we had an emergency. They have a website with the tools and such, installbay.com I think. Then metra online will link you their various brands.

Thanks, I looked thru the online products from SP and Metra, I think I'll check SP out for wire, and some accessories. I did not find RCA patch cables on either site. I sell from the cheaper no name styles to the high end street wires and monster. Right now paying 7.50 for 12' no namer. I know they have to cheaper somewhere else.

Any ideals?

Whats the diffrens between wholesale or direct supplies? I have a few warehouse locations were I get my stuff and looks like ppl can buy on the internet same price i get at the warehouse with me having a tax ID. What can you gain if you have a tax ID, cant compete with the internet market.

DBL Distributing has good prices on Metra. For a 4 gauge Raptor Amp kit it was less than what I could find it for on ebay after the shipping. Ceaser326 is right though, the wholesale prices arent very competitive with online prices a lot of times because online sellers mark them up the bare minimum they need to to make a profit.

I forgot about AAMP. If you follow the links for Tsunami or Raptor they will both have RCAs, Raptor being the lower end and Tsunami being the higher end. Basically they are set up as distributors for those companies, but I think they are all one company. Choose either the Raptor or Tsunami line for the wiring, Metra's own line carries the kits, and axxiss does their integration.
We bough from metra and they allowed up some room after some wheeling and dealing and hitting certain order limits. Such as the antenna lines, we got a much better deal buying 6 at a time than 3-4.
