I Want to Buy : Extra Sled - 06/02/2002 07:27
I am looking for another dashboard sled.
Saw them at carplayer.com for $129... YIKES !!!
anyone have one they would part with for less than that ?
or know where I can get one for a lower price ?

Wow, SonicBlue is out?! I got one a few weeks ago from them. They find a buch of 30 and 60gig players, but no extra sleds? It wasn't much cheaper at SonicBlue...you might just have to bite the bullet.

We're not out of car mounts, they are available from
www.empeg.com/store at 80 UKP.

That's about $115 US (I think)...

yeah a bigger boat is right, and we need a lower price, too....
Why are they so expensive...?
Seems like something that would be cheap to make,
I know there is a price for convenience
and demand raises prices, but omigosh...
$50 would be a nice price...
Maybe If I got 2 sleds for $115 that would be good, too...
Then I would have the one I'm looking for and
I could make a nice little radio box for the house with a car amplifier and speakers I have kickin' around...
Ahyhow, If anyone can get me one of these puppies for something like $50 USD that would be great...
Thanks.

No, they are not cheap to make. If you can find a way to make them cheaper, please, be our guest.

Save your money and get a normal receiver for the house. If you can't afford a sled, just velcro the unit on top of the dash. It's not real conveinient but it wouldn't cost hardly anything.

$115 is $15 cheaper than I paid SonicBlue when they had them. And like was said above, I don't imagine cutting and fashioning all that metal is cheap.

The metal, which is CNC punched, isn't cheap, but the real killer is the wiring harness. It *cost* us something like $40-50 even when we ordered 4000 of them. Hence the cost of the sleds...

The metal trays you get with cheap radios are in no way similar, they are much thinner, cheaper, and less sturdy than the empeg sled.

You could buy another 10G Empeg for about $300 or so, with sled (and have a spare!)

I haven't a clue, I don't run the store any more. There are a number of stacks almost as tall as me, though!

Sorry for the scare...But the link button on that page did not work for me when I tried it awhile ago. It does now and it does show them in stock...My bad.
