Local Autobarn has a sticker price of $699, Alpines own website lists it at $529
They "Price matched" to $579 against Pioneer MVH-8350BT at full RRP.

So what would be an "good" store price
I don't mind paying a bit more v online for it in store but I paid near full rrp for my focal gear as their the only authorized distributor close by.

Cant help feeling I'm getting fleeced.

I saw your post ( if that's what you're referring to).

Its tuning options appear to be rather lacking without a h100.
Plus the massive dotted lcd is kind of :unsure: against the 117e.

I can get the pioneer for roughly $280 delivered and spend the difference on the h100, but considering the only addition the h100 has against the 117e is adjustable xovers .

If its reasonable to get the 117e @ 500 give or take Id prefer the single unit option.

Maybe I have not looked at the h100 enough.

Is it an Alpine Hu only deal?

I think the JB ticket price is about $569 and unfortunately you just missed a 30% off carsound weekend. Getting it for somewhere around the $500 mark shouldn't be a stretch if its what you've got your heart set on mate.

As above, JBHIFI would be your best bet if you havent got one yet! They've done 30% off car audio 3 times in the last 2 months! So shouldn't be long before they do it again...

Surely they skimp out on a few things there, such as ipod cable and something?
