Best buy is not commission based. They used to be but no longer. I work at Best Buy as an installer, and I have never heard of a Radio Enhancer. I agree with NS that they do not have the best quality Car Audio, but for me the hard part is beating the prices. On car audio the discount is enormous. Which puts me in a bind as far as do I want to save money and build a system for around $500, or get a much better sounding system for around 1k more.

NS: you seem to have a better car audio knowledge than me. I saw in another thread your recommendations for a set-up for around $1700. I'll pm you for more info as not to threadjack.

They weren't even on commission when I worked for them ages ago...

Still, I wouldn't use them or recommend them for car audio. Maybe for the equipment if you can get a deal on it but definitely not for the install.

Using the websites above, even with your Best Buy discount, I very seriously doubt you can't do better online. (for identical products)

true, I wont argue that. but sometimes the ease of access is more of a selling point for me. You are right though.

As far as the install, I am fully capable of doing it myself. Most of the time I recommend a person does the install themselves. When I do an install on someone elses car I treat it as my own, but not every installer has that mentality.
