Umm, which Nu-Way do you work for ?? I have been to there main site in Il and I don't know of any sites in Arizonia as you claim that you are from ? Also, Nu-Way is an ok company for parts. They don't make any composite cones, they order all of them from China. They don't make any Nomex material spiders, only Poly-Cotton and Cotton spiders. They are also very limited on the Dust Cap materials, but, I am not saying that they are bad. Just they require a very large minimum order and have very limited making abilities. On the cones, there minimum for a standered Non-Press Paper Cone is 500 pcs per size minimum. In order to get a strong enough Non-press Paper Cone for most SPL drivers it is very thick and very heavy! The Composite Cones weigh half as much and are twice as strong.. If they were to lower there minimum order amounts and be able to produce some better materials, I think that they would double there current volume in sales. Or, sale in minimums of 10 and do more direct sales. Either way they need to do something in the next 10 years to stay in business since everything is being made in China and now China is getting better and better parts!

Yes, china is getting better but more expensive along the way. The bulk of the companies buying parts form China are not just buying components. They're "designing" the driver and then having the entire thing produced there. If any of you walked CES, you may have noticed the plethora of new companies doing this.

Also, we changed alot over the last couple of years. I live in Tucson and work out of our Nogales factory, and now we do use composite materials and we have just about EVERY material available for cone, dustcaps, and spiders(plenty of em being made with Nomex). PM with your email address and I'll send you an update. I haven't seen much we can't make.

I know it might be hard for you guys to believe, but an American based manufacturing company has had to make many changes to survive the last few years, and we've kept some loyal customers. If the majority of reviews on this site are true then our parts aren't bad.
