Moving into a brand new shop in about a month and we are starting from scratch on everything. I'm looking for a company that will build us a display or just provide the switching electronics for us. Any contact info would be greatly appreciated.

They are cool but they are also uber fricken expensive. Way too expensive and some of their products have been less than thoroughly engineered. I have a good custom display maker and we can also find you the electronic switching unit. Need pics, Jeff (Velocity Motors has some of them) or send me an e-mail to forbidden@telus.net and I would happy to send along some pics of the display that I designed. Displays can be either a huge investment or small (buying used display boards for example). My display for example was about $70,000.00 for the display and switcher but it allows me to do whatever I need to do with it and no manufacturer can tell me to take that "other" cd player out of "their" branded display. ------------- Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

Do I detect a little hostility here Rob? ------------- double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

That was the #1 reason as to why I built my own boards. No more BS from the reps or their bosses. I have had reps actually come into the store and start to remove the items from my (their) display before. Lets see here, I paid for it, it is mine and I'll do with it as I darn well please.

They have some crazy looking stuff. A little out of my price range though. Anyone a little more reasonable?

You can check out audio authority. I got my switchers and power core from there, I have around 2500 into my display controls, I have 12 headunits 14 pairs of speakers on display. I am adding on controls.product as I go....If you talk to Mitch Thompson and tell him what your looking to power up he'll fire off and estimate of everything you'll need. They also build custom displays, the one comparable to mine is around 20k. I built my own had it covered in leather looks nice and is not like anybody else's display.

I should also point out that I have no hostility with the Avidworx guys as well, they like I mentioned make some really cool gear. ------------- Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.
