lots of things are outsourced these days. it keeps costs down though, thats the positive side, but on the negative side, quality control goes down and tolerences are increased.

Very bad sux, like you said, i wonder when the last american made ones were, assuming they ever were.

I think everyone nkows the logic behind doing such, but it just wasn't expected.

Guys, I don't know why your just now freaking out.They've been that way since 2000. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You'd be amazed what other manufactures woofers are made at the exact same buildhouse as ours. They are still built with our build QA and QC, or they won't pass. So if you thought it was good a year, or two years ago, it still is. 95% of most car audio is outsourced nowdays, it's nothing new. But all design, and engineering, is done right here in Stillwater, OK //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
