Whenever you consider an online vendor, do your homework. Do a google search, and go to www.audiosurvey.com. Read as many consumer reviews about the place as possible. There are plenty of legit businesses that sell over the Internet at dirt-cheap prices, but there are also a ton of businesses that at best have very poor customer service, and at worst are outright scam artists.
I also urge people to really evaluate a few things, including your skill level, your level of audio knowledge and your tolerance for dealing with idiots. You can save a lot of money buying over the Internet, but there are some significant advantages when buying locally... especially if you aren't an audio expert. When you go to a local shop, you pay for more than just their product. You're paying for their knowledge, their advice, and also their service. You're on your own when you buy online. Just remember that. Buying locally allows you to "test drive" the product before you buy it, as well as get the advice of the sales guy. You can feel more confident that you're getting what you need. If you have any kind of installation questions/problems, they'll help you. If it breaks, they'll replace/repair it. Sometimes the additional cost is worth it.
Also consider that a lot of brands (Alpine comes to mind) will not warranty stuff that isn't purchased from an authorized dealer (i.e. no online vendors).
