I'll revisit my general Metra harassment this week as well and see how things are going with them, hang in there peoples, these will be out soon and with any luck I can try and save us a couple of bucks on them
cool sounds like things will be getting started right when I get back from vacation.
I am gone on the 24th coming back the 4th or something. if you do the group buy during that time keep me in plz!

I got it from etronics.com via google checkout for $1139.81 + $13.92 shipping + notax in CA = $1,153.73

But I see their price is now $1,144.82 and out of stock.

Yeah definitely don't pay the $1600 crutchfield wants. These units normally have around 40-50% margin.

I think it's because amps quote peak power also... But hey.. at least they put the sustained watts down, what if they only put peak power on the box.. =/

Update from metra

On Friday we installed 2 kits in vehicles and are testing the electronic portion of the kit. As long as we have no hiccups we should go into production and be shipping in 2-3 weeks time.

I'm really hoping I can get this installed before sevenstock.
I know that's probably a dream, but I think it would be good
advertising for them if they had some of these at sevenstock.

My carpc is itching to get installed.
