[QUOTE="newusername, post: 5662142, member: 562064"] Forgive me as my memory is a bit fuzzy on this.... A couple years back, John was slowed by quality control problems and health problems as well. He was either getting parts or having drivers built by TC...and like most companies involved with them at the time, he was hurt by their abysmal quality control. Now the way he runs his organization is a bit different: every part possible is sourced from US manufacturers and assembled by hand in Wisconsin. It makes it a bit tougher to do large volumes, but means John can take personal responsibility for his business, from top-to-bottom. Aside from that, there is no big-money marketing team there, and he is mostly recognized in the home audio world where that type of quality product is more readily recognized (and appreciated). It is actually wise of him to target that group, since car audio is struggling and car audio users are basically the worst.... If you look on ROE, you'll see some vids of his subs from a few years back. For the reasons above, though, he's never been that well known outside of CAF. I miss old CAF, but I guess it's mostly because everything has been discussed to death there. [/QUOTE]
