[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7488546, member: 614752"] Yeah, most of the old greats went to **** or were bought out and went the same way. Little is made in USA anymore, on the bright side Korea today is what Japan was in the 80's so many of the Korean amps are fairly good quality, the Stetsom and Soundigital are Brazilian made and though I've heard some mixed reports, I've had good luck with a couple Stetsom amps I've used. Most of the woofers use Chinese parts, the better ones are assembled in USA and use American made coils. You can indeed get loads of power out of a very small package these days and for reasonable price per watt. RF components are not very good IMO. There's lots of options out there (read the forum a bit). For mainstream stuff the Alpine type R sub and components are very good for the price. For substage, you can have small box, low extension, or efficiency, but only two of these. Decide which you can sacrifice and plan sub accordingly. [/QUOTE]
