[QUOTE="misfit138, post: 6799404, member: 611275"] This is a double edged sword. I'm sure that most car audio guys in the US, given the choice, would prefer to buy equipment designed & built in the USA. The problem with this is cost. Americans don't work cheap and that extra cost gets pushed on the customer. It's quite simple, really. Most people in the hobby are young, and young people don't have bottomless wallets. The Koreans are building pretty solid amplifiers that can be had for a reasonable amount of money. American manufacturers simply can't compete with that. The alternative is even worse. Say we stop importing amplifiers from Korea. The casual enthuiast will suffer, and the car audio community will become nothing more than a collective of wealthy kids spending mom & dad's money. Think about it, man. If you were a 20 year old college student, would you want to take up a part time job & work 30 hours a week for months just to buy an amplifier? [/QUOTE]
