I am getting ready to redo everything in my car. Any online stores that sell high end products. Everything I've found so far is Pyle and garbage like that. Any suggestions??

Many higher-end brands are not sold on line, or if you do find them online they are without factory warranty since they are being sold by non-authorized retailers.  Your best bet is to visit a local brick-and-mortar dealer in your area.  What is it you're looking for?

I appreciate all your help, you and Velocity Motors are the truth man. Basically, I'm trying to find a HU that is clean and has good SQ. Cosmetically, I don't care about having screen savers and all that jive, just something that is built well and will last. Like eclipse or Nakamichi. As far as speakers go, I can only fit 3.5 in the front, the back has a factory opening of 5.25, but I can make a fiberglass contraption to hold 6.5 or 6x9 if need be. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Where I live at, it is very limited as too what can be bought in a shop. Most of the lines that are carried are Audiobahn, Sony, Pyle and Power Acoustik, not a big fan of these.

I understand and think you're on the right track.  There are places on line who sell Alpine, a  brand name with good SQ especially in their higher end, and I am partial to Blaupunkt which is also sold on-line by quite a few people.

Sounds good, I have been reading on this forum for about a year now so I am getting more comfortable with car audio due to the fantastic info I get from all of you guys. Any recommended sites or do you know of any eclipse dealers on the forum who I could order from they're shop and pay the shipping??

Cardomain.com and Crutchfield.com are authorized dealers.
That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

If I had been in the USA, I gladly would have helped you out. If you like, I will check with one of my US contacts and see what kind of a deal I can arrange for you on the products that you require. Do us a favour and donate a portion of the sale to the site if you can. If you require more info, drop me a PM please so that we can keep to abiding by the rules of the forum.
Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

Sounds good to me, I don't want to break any rules on this forum. If we can work out a deal I would be happy to donate a portion of the sale to the12volt.com. But as I stated before, I in no way want to violate any of the regulations on the site.

I was looking at woofersetc.com.  I don't have any experience with them personally.  They seem to have very good prices and a 1 year warranty.  Their deals on infinity speakers are very good and I am definitely looking for high end infinity products at a low end price.
