Default Where to buy?

So I was looking for a cheat setup that would actually sound good, but the problem is finding a place to buy them. I found what I want on Crutchfield, and then I found it on Ike Sound, which is considerably cheaper. However, Ike Sound is really expensive when it comes to shipping, while Crutchfield has free shipping, but much higher prices.

What I found was a 10" Rockford Fosgate Punch Stage 2 sub, which I want to buy two of. Plus a Profile amplifier that would go well with the subs.

Now, as for the prices:

Crutchfield- Two subs $140
Amp $170

Total $310 with shipping

Ike Sound- Two Subs $106
Amp $109

Total $215, but with shipping it is $265

---

Now I know that Ike Sound is clearly the better deal, but $50 for shipping and handling is outrageous and that is way too much to pay just for shipping.

Is there anywhere else that has Ike Sound prices, but lower shipping costs?

Thanks

Getting closer, audiowarehousexpress.com has low prices, but they don't come close to Ike Sound.

I just don't want to pay $50 for shipping on a $214 order.

PReal, I know they are heavy. But $50 for two subs and an amp is a lot, maybe its reasonable. But its my parents credit card, and when I order they see what the charges are for, and I know for sure my mom will say no for $50 shipping.

Tell your mom your saving over $100 and then the shipping is no big deal. Or, explore people for a price match.
