Buying Cheap Audio Equipment Overseas

Hey guys. In about a month I'm going to Thailand for a holiday, and was planning on doing a full audio setup on my car once I got back.

I have a headunit, sub and amp and just need the speakers and another amp. I was told by someone that I can get really cheap gear in Thailand (compared to prices in Australia) and was wondering if that's a reliable thing to go by ? I'm a student with a relatively low income so if I can save myself hundreds of dollars and get something that works perfectly then that's what I'd prefer. Has anyone had any experience with the cheaper overseas variety ?

Thanks

Mate do not do it. You will just end up paying more in the long run.

Do it once, do it right. I'm sure lots of people will tell you this. I too am a poor student, so i know what you're going through. Just spend less time in Thailand and use the money you save to buy decent audio gear over here :P

guys ive been to thailand and have checked out everything they have to offer (including the live shows) LOL but other than that i wouldnt pay for audio equipment/wheels/engine parts etc. BUT think about it

most people change setups when new things come out

i had a full pioneer sound system every single item is pioneer (which i bought and installed professionally about 2003, and its all lasted till now - think about that.... NO DRAMAS EVER and since i have an iphone now i just wanna change the deck so i can plug that in and use that instead of usbs and mp3 cds.

also as u get older your goals change 1 year ago i sold the sub amp all that other shit and just kept the deck and upgraded front and rear speakers which is more than enough... keeps your car lighter too :)
