www.ebay.com.au

find a seller with good feedback and make sure it is an Australian model not American.

how big is this sale at strath?!...they seem though, to have a very selective range, like only a few brands , and even fewer models...

which jb hifi is the largest?!

I recommend contacting Marty at FHRX, if only that lad was in QLD I would be at his shop every day :P Strathfield are crap, JB have some OKAY headunits, however Marty really knows his stuff and can offer you the advice, not just try and get a sale!

yeh bargaining is easy when the new JB shops open.. the salesmen are noobs and dont know how to read their pricebooks yet... so if you see a ticket price ask for about a 50 dollar discount immediately... try it ;)

Thanks for the kind comments guys. I appreciate it.

Kousoko, parhaps I should have elaborated a little further on my comments. We're in the buisness of high end audio. The end where the sound matters more than the money to us. If you're interest in high quality gear then give me a call champ. If you want a store that will try and sell you anything just to make a sale, then I'm afraid we're not your store. :)

seriously ebay man
they usually around half the price of places like jb and strathfield

2 options
1. save a heap of money
2. use the same budget to get an awsome system

have a browse through head units on www.ebay.com.au
u'll see some good bargains mate!

*agrees with the masses*

Ebay or similar, or Marty or JB's.

Have never bought a thing from Marty in my life, but he has been personally a champion with helpful and patient advice, and basically 100% of feedback you will find online or otherwise regarding him will be AAA+. The guy knows how to generate repeat business if nothing else :)

Marty will indeed be able to come up with something that you'll be more than happy with within that price range! :thumbsup:

Judging by things i've learnt from him and others in the car audio world if i could do over my first system that i spent what your looking to spend on I would of been much happier. I wasted my money at the likes of JB, even strathfield (only cause it was bargin stuff i was chasing).
