What the difference between dealing with a reputable company like Century Stereo and a “trunk slammer”?
In our industry, a trunk slammer refers to a small company or single person who sells and installs low-voltage systems–sometimes out of the trunk of their car. This type of supplier often is not licensed; may not have an office, registered employees, or insurance coverage; and may not be around to honor equipment warranties. Because these vendors do not have the overhead of other companies, their equipment may be less expensive.
