[QUOTE="gunz4me2, post: 7857758, member: 613729"] My only concern is their past history of closing up shop, then making a comeback. Also, rumors of nonexistent customer support during this last comeback phase would make it tough for me to consider their products unless I could get them at a good price. In other words, you buy it from Parts Express. If there is a problem, PE will refer you to TC, where you may or may not be able to get a hold of someone to address your issue. Now, for the negative side... while a .6 cubic foot enclosure tuned to 32 Hz seems all well and good, there is one problem. Just wait until you see the required port area for such a small enclosure. 15 square inches of port has to be mighty long for such a tiny enclosure! I tend to remember seeing one design for the OG SA-8 that was .6 cubic feet net for the sub side, but the folded port took up .7 or .8 cubic feet. It takes a lot of additional space to fold up 64 or so inches of 1.5" by 10" port. [/QUOTE]
