[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8868389, member: 591582"] Iirc JL is all American made, so that's why it's so expensive, like that's the cost of making it here. I could be wrong, but iirc that's what I remember. What seems to happen is some good audio designer designs something good then it's all copied by other companies or stolen by China and resold. There's sub patents the parent company will allow a less high quality company use to make bank selling a cheaper but still decent version of the same general style woofer. There's a lot of cheap woofers imitating more popular woofer styles that aren't the best subs. I think so much of it is made in China and that's part of it all. It's so easy to just slightly tweak and manufacture products like speakers and amps in mass, I would think. I just notice similar style subs as a box designer, but you see the design quality differences in the t/s and performance. Everything follows making money and trends consumers want, too. [/QUOTE]
