    make sure you dont get cheap brands otherwise theres no real point in upgrading your stereo.. go to JB hifi and ask how much discount they will give you if you buy a full system together

    Man just spend some real money, theres no point "upgrading" your stereo if you just get cheap components. Check out FHRX studios (Caringbah) and Droran Pro Audio (Bankstown).

    Or you could go used. Check out second-hand stuff, even used markets can have great products at very good rates.

    Post a WTB in the trading section on these forums, maybe some members can do you a good deal.

    i think most retailers and online shops/auctions can be cheap from time to time, depends what brand/type of component you are chasing. wow sight and sound seem to be the overall best for price and range in my area...

    If its real...

    Ask yourself... Where did they get them so cheap? They aren't authorised Soundstream Dealers so they have to buy them from somewhere and they have to make a profit on what they pay.
