RF What are they thinking?
In addition to losing MBQuart,it turns our Rockford Fosgate has found
another way to stick it to their remaining dealer base: marketing direct-to-consumers on EBAY !! Check out highdesertaudio on Ebay. Guess who ????? Assuming Ebay dealers get left feedback by about 1/2 or less of total customers, it looks like RF has pirated about fifteen thousand sales out of the mouths of their own dealers in the past year alone. |

Saw the same thing happen about ten years ago with 2 way
communications and cellular at my dad's business. There were several companies he quit carrying altogether, and he would even point his customers to the competition. It's a dog eat dog world..... sad to say...

In searching around for things for my next install (first in 5 years) I was not impressed with RF. Why would I want a sub with fake hex cap nuts molded in the cone? A sign of the times? Chad |

Rockford made it's big left turn when they went from a privately held company to a publicly traded company. At that moment (several years ago) the company's primary commitment shifted away from the dealer and the product user to the stockholder. Since then, short sighted decisions to make the company appear attractive to stockholders and potential investors have dominated. I'm sure others here in the industry can name a few intances. .. |
