well it happened today. and Now I am really truly

Here is the way to get around it; list price at MAP, but show a $150 (or whatever the difference is) coupon for the NEXT purchase. However, give the person a discount on the sly.

 

That does suck, I doubt they even read our e-mails.

 

And what 'he' doesn't realize is that the internet is an entirely different ball game. He WILL be losing quite a bit of sales guaranteed.

I spent over $2500 on my system in total. The ONLY thing I didn't buy on the internet was my wiring harness for my head unit.

 

i just sent them an email about how i have waited for a year to be able to own cadence and now i cant get them. lol, maybe it will help out. otherwise im screwed because i already have my subs on the way and i was planning on using cadence amps to power them. very very bad. anyway mike keep us posted on what happens so we can help in anyway. thanks

 

There are RF, ALpine retailers online. Take Crutchfield for example. But they are a big company since you said the owner wants big pockets.

 

Hey Mike, here's a quote of the e-mail I sent Cadence:

To Cadence Decision-Makers:

I am extremely disappointed that you have discontinued selling your products online. I am a hobbyist in the arena of Car Audio. In my search for the best quality products backed by an even better customer service, I came across www.shop4sound.com, and its owner Michael. Among his many products, Cadence was one of them. It has been his best seller.

Michael, as you may already know, is a well known figure in various car audio forums, providing information and opinions on various products. His knowledge on products, such as yours, come second to none. His customer service is top notch.

Having that as a premise for his business: in-depth product knowledge plus a great customer service to boot, is the primary reason people such as myself (car audio rookies and hobbyists alike) have become patrons to his online store.

Michael has provided his customers with the best car audio products available in the market. He introduced us to many products we would not have heard if it wasn't for his online store. Products such as Cadence. Without his valuable input and opinions, I would have not know of Cadence and the amazing products you produce.

It would be a disservice to prevent Michael from providing us the customers with your product online. After all, busineeses are driven by customers. Without us, how much longer can you stand on your own two feet.

I hope you would think twice and reconsider your options. Thank you.

 

Mike sorry to hear about it. Seems like you got everyone going on cadence and then they f'ed you. By you selling cadence you have created a demand for it! Now people are going to have to be bent over by local dealers making mondo profit in order to get it! That really stinks, but I wish you the best.

 

lol, that is the ticker..

most of my customers dont have a cadence dealer to go to

and if they do, they will buy a more well knwon brand for the same price, like kicker, MTX etc[/b][/quote]
If prices were similar, I'd buy JL, Kicker, or MTX over Cadence even now. Those companies are pretty well known for their CS, whereas Cadence would be more of a risk.

 

yes but chad, im pretty sure cadence amps are better than at least mtx and kicker. maybe im wrong :unsure:

anyway, mike what amps do you have that put out around 1500 @ 1ohm that are as close to $380 as possible. cheaper is better

 

ok i guess i was wrong, thanks mike, B)

 

I got an email back from Cadence full of a bunch of BS.

 

werd :devil:

 

i want a reply back so i can hit em back up
