American made subs?

Well, they may not be going as far as making sure the wire on the coil is made in America. I do know that they will machine their baskets in-house, the coils will be wound in the US, the cones, surrounds, and spiders will be made in-house. The only porblem is that there's no one who makes ferrite slugs domestically.

Subs that are 100% USA built would cost much more. Most parts from China cost half if not less than a part made in the USA even after the freight costs. For example I ordered some spiders from a US company which costed X amount of dollars then down the road I ordered those same spiders from china for the same price. The difference is that I was able to get 3 times as many spiders from China for the same price.

who the hell makes baskets in house? it sounds to me like it will be short lived you cant compete with the overseas stuff they will learn everyone wants american made products but no one wants to pay american made prices

Even some of the US build houses can be decieving... There is one US build house I know of that I bought spiders through but then found out when they arrived that the job was outsourced to a Mexico factory to keep costs down.

Ok, so no sub is 100% domestic. Sounds like DD and Sundown are the closest thing though, right?

Any of our (PSI Car Audio or FixMySpeaker customs) are all hand built in the USA. We use as many US parts as we can.

Just can't source US made baskets, etc. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Most every company gets their parts from China, and some assemble them here in the US of A. I know of one company that's coming that will make their gear with all domestic parts. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I know one also. They'll be basked on the West Coast.
