Subwoofer build house pics

Thanks for this man!

Honestly, I consider you in the top 1% of knowledgable people on here, post away.

You and DevilDriver should start your own QandA section //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Too funny, I honestly didn't know you were from SI.

I think you bring up some very important points in that article. Most of the products made today are brought in from Asia. Just a fact of life. Assembly may be done here, but lets face it the product is made elsewhere.

Is there a Quality System in place at your company to check the product upon arrival (incoming inspection) or is the product deemed good at the build house?

We learned the hard way (read my comment on audiojunkies) and we spot-test random drivers out of every batch. But me going over to China was another way to make absolutely sure everything was perfect. The build house that assembles our drivers tests every single speaker very well, so I don't anticipate having to test nearly as many speakers. It makes me sleep a whole lot better at night knowing how rigorous and tight the testing and assembly is.

Nod. 1 out of 10 check or something similiar?

My company has found that the quality levels from properly audited companies abroad are outstanding anymore. We are down to only a 1% spot check on incoming inspection with a 99.7% pass rate. (our products cost from 2,000-250,000 dollars).

I think your going to have stellar reviews (as if they were not **** good already) with the build house.

Kudos to you for visiting and making sure it is being done right.

While my products don't cost anywhere near what yours do. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

We used to test them with that frequency but then with the bad batch we had a few years ago we tested every single speaker (Jacob from Sundown was a HUGE help with that!!!).

 
Thats a great article and even better with pictures. Next time you go bring a nifty little spy camera for that sample room lol. Will there be a tie-dye edition mag anytime in the near future??? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/slap.gif.87520e8ca8e90076ac30e777c0de5331.gif

Haha, I don't think so. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif They had some gorgeous finishes in that room (like the sand cones of Orca and Focal) and they also had some hideous finishes (one was a cork gasket in yellow and black specs - YUCK!).

I think something worth while to note here is that I did not hear about the problems with the subwoofers so you contained the problem well and still (without harsh public complaints) went out to make sure it was done right.

I would say that at least half of today's manuf. would have just let it go on.

I think China has gotten a bad rap about quality not because they make bad products but because the companies that are using the parts fail to have high standards in quality and do not have an executive staff that really cares enough to make sure the quality standard is being met.

I'm going to have to pick up some SI BM's (when do the new ones come out btw?) (I was already going to TBO, but now I am feeling very confident in my purchase, before I make it).

Ah yes, I did test quite a few of those bad boys //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Nick and myself are both very picky about QC.
