JD, lets break this down. This all started with my comment about Directed 2003
amplifier line looking like the old Alpine V12 line. I do admit that I did
push the issue a little far because you started getting fired up about it,
only to be a prick. This brings me to topic number 2, PPI amplifier cloning. I
not know for a fact that their was cloning going on with the early PPI amp
line, But I do feel that they do/did "look" like Orion GX knock offs with only
the black paint missing, and a hell of a lot more then the Directed 2003
amplifier line looking like the old Alpine V12 line. Not that it even matters
20 years later, give or take a few years. Better yet, not that it ever
mattered at any time.

Topic number 3, Overpriced DEI alarms. Comparing my Viper and Audiovox, I
don't see anything that justifies the extra $200. They both have same
options. They both still work. The viper is 5 years old and the audiovox is 6
years old, both on their second car.

Topic number 4, Older is better. I truly do believe that older PPI, Orion gear
is better then their new gear. Their other people that feel that same
including John Andreen on the PPI part anyways, I know that you read the post
in question and ignored his comments on that issue, just as I did regarding
cloning. I also believe that Ebay sales and final bid prices speak for
themselves. You don't see the same clueless people paying more for 15- 20 year
old Hu.

Topic number 5, DEI's poor Canadian product support. This is what two dealers
had to say when asked why they dropped DEI products. Why would they both lie,
they have nothing to gain by saying this.

Topic 6, Warranty support, who is responsible, the suppler or manufacturer.
The law simply states that the supplier is fully responsible if the supplier
does not identify the manufacturer, at which point the supplier will be seen
as the manufacturer. In fact they are both responsible. If you were to sue,
you could sue both. Trade laws don't stop at any boarders, not anymore. The
same stands for Family law and Ecommerce law. But like I said, the truth is
only a phone call away.


Who do I go after? You, Mark and Paul? You all can defend yourselves just
fine, well maybe not Paul never the less he tries. LOL. John, I can truly say
that I enjoy and agree with most of your posts, as I do with Mark's and Paul's
posts. I just feel that your posts regarding DEI are a little one-sided. This
is the only reason I rattled your cage about DEI. I also know that this post
wouldn't of went as far as it did , if it wasn't regarding DEI.






And, you seem very willing to ignore the comments by John Andreen, all
of which rebutted your claims and which demonstrated a very expert
knowledge of the companies and their products back then. What's wrong,
you only go after people you think can't defend themselves? Whatever,
you picked the wrong target this time... but go on insulting me if it
makes you feel better about yourself. It's a lousy excuse for knowing
what you're talking about though...

I'm sure some of the other "morons" that have listened to what I have
said here about DEI products over the past few years will enjoy your
opinion of them, too.
