Some parts are from over there but everything is assembled over here. I dont see why this is still going on? Like 90% of companies order their soft parts from china. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I knew it. I have had this one dealer before who kept trying to push american bass on me. They seemed WAY OVER PRICED. And I did some research. And apparently American bass subwoofers use a lot of audioque parts.

Over priced trash.

You know. The real thought process is. the Sp4s are a whole new product. So they most likely have some bugs or flaws in there design.

Where did you get that information from? Josh said himself that its assembled here in the us.

I dont see how theyre junk just because they use softparts that come from china even though almost every other company does the same. Ive always loved aq products and always will. I cant ask for more than what Im getting out of my hdc4s. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I know the old HDC3's with the copper coils were assembled in china.

If you got the aluminum coils they were made in the U.S. with U.S. parts.

Not sure about the new ones of both the HDC3 and HDC4. I know they changed the softparts across the board.

Also, just because they made in china doesn't automatically make them junk.

I get my information from the source not from the company trying to sell me ********.

I've owned hd3's, and hd3c prototypes. I was amazed at the difference in quality between mine and a production sub

There are some good american bass subs, they have atomic apx knock off's

Atomic, aka SJA, builds subs for american bass. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

don't try that ****, that is the total opposite of what you said earlier.

I forgot about the aluminum coil versions.

no no, I forgot about the copper coils. Those are assembled in china. As for the aluminum and the hdc4's those are assembled here in the us. Ill admit my mistake on that one. Even though, theyre still not junk.

audique used to be american made when they had the HD series, the C stands for china, where they are manufactured now.

American bass HD and audioque HDC subs are very, Very similar subs in build.

Audioque has only one issue, triple joint, in which they corrected in the new models.

My hdc3 is on the same original soft parts and is from 09, so GTFO and is running 2 aq1200ds strapped to it daily.

and even with their old problem, recones are what, $60 + ship, where as FI's are much more...
