[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 669800, member: 555320"] One thing to keep in mind about these companies you've never heard of......companies don't just get big over night. We all know how big JL is, right? You think that just all of a sudden happened? IIRC, JL Audio started out as a "mail order" company, where people placed their order for drivers by mail (much in the same way as these never-heard-of companies are "internet companies", just an easier means of communication fasciliated by the 'net). This made them a very esoteric brand. But, word slowly grew, more orders started to come in, and eventually it got to the point where distributors and dealers were interested in carrying their products, and production levels could be increased to allow this (because of the growing # of orders). So, it's not like you can start building subs and a month later have a national distrobution network. It takes time for word to spread and for interest to grow. And some of these companies prefer to stay smaller and internet only. Look at eD.....Ben's made comments in the past that he'll never take eD to a distrobution/dealer system. He wants (or atleast wanted, don't know if he's changed his mind) to keep them the way they are; internet orders straight to the company. [/QUOTE]
