BANGING SYSTEMS IS A CRAP SHOOT. SOME WILL WIN. SOME WILL MAINLY LOSE. YOU HAVE TO FILTER THROUGH THE B.S. SO YOU WON'T END UP OVER PAYING FOR A SYSTEM, PARTS, OR INSTALLATION. IT DOES NOT DESERVE A STAR!\r
\r
If you are looking for a professional car audio buying experience, Banging Systems on Robeson Street IS NOT, I REPEAT IS NOT THE PLACE TO GO. A few of the manager / sales reps are like the typical used car dealers, mixing truth with lies. They will quote one price for an item over the phone, then increase the price once you are in the store.\r
\r
Banging Systems also sale items out the Flea Markets (under the same name) on McPhearson Church Road and Bragg Blvd here in Fayetteville. The Robeson Street Store is the main store and does all the installations for both Flea Market sites.\r
\r
I purchased a radio from one of the Banging Systems Flea Market locations at a reasonable price. That particular sales rep was professional, knowledgable and seemed to be honest. He gave me a receipt with a Banging Systems business card stapled to it. He then informed of the warranty that their company will provide with my purchase. He told me to go to the main store for installation. He assured me that I would be charged X amount of dollars for installation. I thought that was sensable price so I went straight to the Main Store on Robeson.\r
\r
Once I got to the main store I saw the same audio system that I had purchased from the Flea Market. I asked the manager/sales rep there price. He gave me a price that was $50 more than what I just paid. When I told him I have one from their other store, he informed me they are not affiliated with any of the Flea Market sites even though they use the Banging Systems name and logo. So, he quadrupled the cost of installation and informed me that my warranty that the Flea Market Sales Rep gave me wasn't any good in their store. I wasn't prepared to pay the amount that he presented, so I left.\r
\r
The next day I went back to the main store to find out the price for another item I needed. I walked in and to my surprise, the sales rep from the FLEA MARKET WAS THERE WORKING. I asked him to come outside. I asked him was he working there, he responded ""yes"" and told me that he moved from store to store. I informed him of what the other sales rep said the day prior. He tried to work a deal with me to keep my business, but the owner or main manager intervened and increased the price even more than what either sales reps offered. So, I lefted there with an uninstalled system and frustrated by the entire ordeal.\r
\r
I am now looking for an honest and reasonable car audio location here in Fayetteville. Does one exsist?\r
