When an audio company has something right they always sellout and crap is produced. Its sad but I guess if I owned my own audio company and someone offer an A#$ ton of money I would sell out.

I think in today's economy it's either going to be RE made in China or no RE at all

A 28lb 18" china made subwoofer, with a gay motor cover, I sure hope the price came down , way down.

I don't think RE is the one that flooded the internet , it was a certain distributor, that is known for bankrupting otherwise strong companys, but @ the end of the day it is RE/US amps fault, when the store fronts go, they probably end up being sold to Sound Around, it is sad really, for everyone involved.

When you deal with shady distributors, and abandon your strong dealers in favor of a quick buck it more than often than not is going to end badly.

Even in this economy, people are looking for deals . but on quality product , they are just being more careful about what they buy and from who.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

There are exceptions , but if they keep dealing with the same people, they run alot higher risk of having problems, This is not a small distributor either.

Image this you have a shop , you carry RE thourgh a distributor because they have the area, you have a customer come in that wants 4 SX15d2 you have 2 in stock ,you call your distributor to get 2 more , and they tell you they are out and it will be a 2 to 3 weeks before thay have them back in stock , when in reality they have 2 or 3 skids of the driver in question , but they are on hold for www. ( insert ).com , this also happens alot with new stock, and why alot of dealers wait along time for new models, image this happens quite often costing you $$$$

Alot of dealers know what is going on , alot don't have a clue

This is just one small example of what goes on everyday, and I'm not saying the manufacture has knowledge of whats going on either, alot of companys have been doing this for years , with very little downside, but am I the only one that has noticed, the decline in product quality, from alot of major brands,with them catering to online stores and not brick and mortor stores.

Sorry about the soap box, I'm just in a bad mood today.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
