Audio companies went out of business this year

Interesting perspective on Obsidian Audio although completely erroneous and ill-informed. Our bid on the market isn't strong enough? What data do you have that will support that thesis? Doesn't really matter though as it is irrelevant and not based on any factual information. We are doing quite well and we do have a very good "bid" on one particular section of the market that is proving to be a fantastic hit with the internet car audio market. Let alone the other woofers we sell that keep increasing in sales at a steadfast rate.


psi? Surprised to see that mention as I don't see David going under that quickly. ...at all.

Didn't mean to upset you but, also I was saying in the long run. The reason I said bid on the market is because it is so clouded in the region your line is in with many brands. Also I never hear much about them. I like your subs though and would recommend them over other subs in your region.

Quantum and bassinferno are both very low end products.

"Big Box Stores".....

As the dealer era ends those large stores will take over for a while. That will more then likely last until I'm retired.

DB Drive, Hifonics, Quantum, Memphis, Powerbass are all huge down here in the south.. RE is actually getting big down here also. cheap stuff for the hood rats and poh peoples man...

DB is freaking huge south of the states I don't think they will go anywhere for a long time... I've heard some of their Platinum series subs they are pretty good.. other than that I just wait to see who fails and who doesn't...

Same as the industry i'm in. Its a guessing game and no one knows till its to late

My first deck was a Panasonic, bought it and had it installed from circut city...

gone. GONE.

The people at Circut city were a lot better than the hacks they have at Best Buy.

I remember dropping $350 for the deck I had (open box). Was pleased with the sound out of it, but that was in an 84 monte carlo, awesome acoustics.

All you have to do is to open up your local craigslists' electronics for sale section to see what brands are being bought by the general public. Kicker, Dual, powerbass, infinity, low end JL shit, pioneer, sony xplode is all I see.

The last real innovative company in the entire industry was PG with the release of the Cyclone, and that was 15 years ago //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
