Eclipse Online Dealers?

I know most companies now a days do not have dealers online, but I know that eclipse is coming out with a new AVN unit called the 5495 which has a 30 gb hard drive, 20 gigs for music, 10 for Navi, double din. I love this unit, but I don't wanna pay retail for it.

Do any of you guys know a place that sells eclipse for closer to cost, or any of you have a buddy that works someplace that can get eclipse stuff?

Thanks

No such thing as an Eclipse online dealer. Even if there is, they don't last very long as Eclipse does not allow online sales.

www.woofersetc.com   They get there products direct from Eclipse!!!

No actually they do not, regardless of what they might say. Eclipse makes us dealers sign a dealer agreement that 100% prohibits us from selling Eclipse on-line. If a place like this one above has the product listed and does sell it, they are purchasing it from an authorized dealer and reselling it to the purchaser. No warranty and no theft replacement from Eclipse. Is it worth it? NO it is not.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

Forbidden is right about Woofersetc. They do not offer a manufacturer's warranty. You'll be stuck dealing directly with them - not Eclipse, or any other company they deal with for that matter.

Whether it is worth it, in my opinion, is a rather personal value call. With MOST manufacturers I'd say no, and I simply refuse to pay anywhere over 15-20% more for sub-$1000 authorized product. With Eclipse's excellent 3-year warranty, theft services, and fantastic customer service for people that buy authorized, however, I'd say extra money spent retail is well worth it. My Eclipse deck is the one component in my system that I didn't hesitate paying an authorized dealer for.

Speaking of Eclipse, can anyone tell me what model i would need to get in order to get MP3 capabilitys, a remote AND dedicated sub pre-outs with sub woofer controls?

Well I got my Eclipse DA7232 from Woofersetc and Eclipse shipped it to me... Most products fail in the first 30 days anyway and Woofersetc will back the product for a full year.. If you want to pay twice as much then buy from a dealer go but I have learned years ago that buying from a dealer is not always the best thing to do unless you like giving your money away.. I paid $850 after negotiating with Woofersetc versus twice that from a dealer....If you buy from a dealer they have to install it before you get the Eclipse warranty.. No thank you!!

The CD3434 will has all you need as well. The CD3424 sacrifices the remote....oh darn...the volume knob is just so far away.

I was unaware you were buying that amp from an online dealer LK. I would be willing to bet that package was shipped to woofersetc first, and they re-labelled it for shipping to you. I just hope you never have problems with it. Good luck with the Eclipse warranty, not to kick you when you're down, or anything like that <grin>. BTW, the Eclipse dealers are hand picked by Eclipse FOR their installation expertise and knowledge, as well as longevity in the community. For me, it is worth it to pay the additional cash up front, and get a good installation. I used to work for the dealer I bought mine from, and I had it installed there, (under my supervsion) so the install did not cost me, but I still get the warranty. I stand by my previous - pay the good dealer/installer.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Woofersetc are good people and I have done business with them many many times...The warranty is full just like what Eclipse offers 1 year unless installed my a authorized dealer in which its longer. Like I said before any problems are going to rise in the first 30 days anyway just like with any electronic device. I played it hard for the first 30 days and so far its been flawless. Besides if it fails I send it back to Woofersetc and they ship me off a new one. I don't need anyone to do my installs besides most Eclipse dealers in my area don't do good installs in my opinion.. I'm very very picky on how my stuff is mounted and laid out. I also don't like the fact of some installer ripping through my panels and breaking off clips. I can do a better job on my install then most installers I have met around where I live. I can't justify paying twice as much for a product just because someone can install it for me especially since it would have taken them 10 minutes to install the unit since I had everything all laid out from my previous amp...

As George Carlin said " I don't need some business man bending me over to service the account"
