[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8579631, member: 614752"] SI, DD, Audioque (now soundqubed), and Incriminator are the same as you remember. RE still makes fairly decent woofers and the '02 XXX is sought after. Wiggins vanished from the scene and Adire folded up shop, their classic stuff is still well regarded and a handful of companies have made (still make) XBL^2 speakers (mostly mids). Shocker hasn't sold any motors since TC Sounds went under, but Shocker Mike still sells softparts (American made and excellent quality SPL parts) and even sold a small production run of very big amps a few years back. Super Extreme (TC9) isn't much of an SPL sub anymore with how cheap power has become, but Sig still holds its own in the lanes and you'll still find them at world finals. Dunno if you were around for the RD fiasco but they got boned by their buildhouse in the far east on the revised version of their 3200W amp. First version (along with D9) were wildly popular but they lost their arse when they got a shipment of the V2 that mostly blew up right out of the box and they were unable to absorb the loss to make good on them. They went away along with their subs (which IIRC were built by Atomic). Otherwise, you haven't missed much, power is getting bigger and cheaper, subs are sacrificing efficiency for the sake of handling the cheap power, and this forum is still pretty much trolling and nuthuggery. The only thing really groundbreaking you've missed is digital processing both outboard and built in to head units. Technological advances have improved leaps and bounds. If you're an SQ guy you'll be trilled by your processing options today. [/QUOTE]
