Yeah, but I thought some were STILL made in the US.

First that comes to mind are JL, MTX and RF, although I'm not sure if some of their amps are chinese / korean.

Ya know, I often wonder how "old school" made-in-the-USA amps compare to their new school counterparts. I see a lot of desire for old school and I always wondered whats so good about them.

It's not that they went to shit because they outsourced. Instead they outsourced because they went to shit.

I'm not sure if it even matters much these days. Have you seen the zenon board amps? Atomic, sundown, etc etc? Very nicely put together amps, I honestly don't know if we'd do all that much better for a typical everyday amp here locally. Unless you're talking about something high-end like a Zed Audio amp, then its a whole other ballgame. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I would'nt know about Zed, But it depends on the which Zapco line. At least Zapco tells you up front on their website which of their amps are imported from overseas.

I was just sitting here remembering back to about 1987 and recalling the sweet feeling of 2 Zapco 220's pushing a pair of M&M 15's behind the seat of my '79 Chevy.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
