Something wants to make me say ... Nomex ... I think.

a couple different materials.

usualyl it's a textile blend, some companies use a poly cotton (Orion, CDT). Xtant uses Nomex and Poly-cotton. cotton used to be a material of choice, but the poly-cotton blend is like 10 times more durable...

Xtant uses Nomex

Add Nakamichi, Cerwin Vega, Alpine, etc to the list as well.

but there are a number of different materials in use, just like cones //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

but generally, it's a textile blend of some sort.

funny how 99% of woofer parts come from overseas.. yet when they assemble them.. you come up with utter junk.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

You should hear some of them, 1000w subs, with H2 baskets, priced similar with other imported subs. You're right though, the local make ones do sound horrific. When asked about this matter, he simply said you guys and the danish have this touch...

Amps are still assembled here, but most parts come from good ol' China... there's just no avoiding the low production costs. Then again, there are plenty of spider ligaments here to go around..
