Car Audio Mergers....who owns who?

resonance engineering:digital designs, audioque

image dynamics:

image dynamics, arc audio, elemental designs

So RE owns DD and audioque? I thought us amps bought RE?

I thought dd has been around longer than RE? I have just known of dd because of one specific local sense I was about 13 and I could have just not heard of RE because no locals had them and I learned of them when I was just getting on the forums.

US Amps and RE Newly merged

The DEI Company was Express Kit? Is that Fortin?

yeah i thought RE was it's own company, and then merged with US Amps as 1 company?

who owns RE/US then? let me guess, directed? lmao

companies merge and expand constantly, in a year from now you'd be amazed at how the market changes

Oh, I thought us bought out RE and started selling there products and raised there prices which caused and uproar, and thats when fi was started and FI got real big b.c they were pretty much the same thing for 1/2 the price.

So RE and US just merged?

FI owner OWNED RE

FI was started after RE was sold.

I could see how a simple glance would make them look alike with just a 2 letter difference.

Well if resonant engineering owns us amps, then how come the prices went up when us amps came into play?

The Canadian company DEI bought was AstroStart. XpressKits was their most recent take over. If you can't beat 'em= buy'em

I am assuming sense resonant engineering owns the 3, then the name RE and Resonant Engineering do not mean the same thing. I thought RE audio was Resonant Engineering Audio, I thought the RE was short as in- DD and Digital Designs
