been looking at some sellers (IndoAudio, AussieCarAudio, LocustAudio etc..) on ebay selling amplifiers like Audibahn, kickers and rockford fosgates. Are they the real stuff? or just look alike with inferior internal components?
Don't wanna spend $$$ on fake inferior components. |

I don't think I've really ever heard of people selling stuff no Ebay that looked legit, but had diff. internals. Wouldn't it be too much of an effort for the scammers to change everything around? |

these days with the china and 3rd world countries anything is possible (to duplicate) from chips to cars. The sellers did say the products don't come with serial numbers to prevent ppl from returning the products back to the manufacturers themselves.
Have u any friends who had bought from these sellers before?

I have bought from IndoAudio before...they are legit. shipping took longer than I wanted, then again i am an eager inpatient person. you should have no problems. most of these people use ebay as a buisness, some make a living from it.

I have always found that you can work a deal with these people when it comes to shipping, and the actual price of the item. I'm not saying IndoAudio has done it or will do it. but i know people can be flexible. never hurts to ask.

I was going to order from IndoAudio until I read the horror stories on www.cardomain.com  I decided to spend a little bit extra and order from Dimension Audio instead, and they were much better to deal with. They actually responded to my questions with meaningful answers.
Good luck,

if you wanna make sure the products you ar ebuying are legit, you can ask for serial numbers and contact the manufacturer about them. that is, if its a good company that keeps up with that stuff. if the store is selling legit product, then they shouldn't have a problem giving you that information.
i've ordered from ikesound and indoaudio and had no problems. |

indoaudio says they remove serial numbers to prevent ppl from returning d products back to the manufacturer coz' it's only good if it's returned to them (indoaudio).
will look into ikesound. thanks dude |

someone said the MTX are a good buy now so try the MTX Thunder 6152($160) or the Thunder 4202 ($130).
But your KAC-929 is only a two-channel amp with power ratings of 150 watts x 2 or 460 watts x 1 into 4 ohms and 230 watts x2 into 2 ohms.You¡¯re a lot more likely to find this amp drawing 1000 watts than outputting 1000 watts.
You might want something lower if you find your current kenwood too "powerful" hehe..like the above MTX's.75 - 200rms watt.
have fun |

You never know though. I've heard stories of amps being shipped with no internals. |
