Default Anyone have a Car Toys or JL Audio & Focal hookup?

I had a source to get these items, but at the moment, I'm having a hard time getting a hold of him. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone had a Car Toys or JL Audio and Focal hookup. Looking for:

(2) JL Audio 10W3 (V2s or V3s)
JL Audio 500/1
Focal 165V2
Focal 130CV1
JL Audio 300/4
Alpine IVA-W200

Let me know, thanks.

I got all of my stereo stuff at least 50% off from ebay. All of it was brand new, never had a problem.

Is Ebay really a safe place to buy these kind of products, especially being so expensive? I've never purchased, but have sold plenty. What about the head unit, components, and coaxles I mentioned? I'm sure I could find them on Ebay as well, but there again, I'm "iffy" on buying off of there.

How many of you have had good luck buying audio equipment off of Ebay and pricey at that? Prices are really good, but you know what they say, sometimes its just too good to be true.

That's a good price on the subs as they usually go for $400 regularly. I'm not looking for a cleansweep as I don't want to use my factory headunit. I want to upgrade to a Alpine IVA-W200. Do you happen to know the prices on the 10W3s? Do they have a website? Are the prices viewable online if they even have a website or is it something you'll have to do by phone?

I'd prefer to purchase local because if anything were to happen to any of the equipment, I don't want to worry about having to ship.

Anyone have Car Toys hookups or work for Car Toys? Tomrrow is the big day (my B-day) and I want to get this for myself in my truck.

avengedws6, just curious, where/how do you get those prices? The price on the head unit and amp is pretty good. Car Toys has the 10W3s on sale right now for $169 which isn't bad for their store and high prices. How much can you get the 300/4 for?
