The GZ Nuclear was arguably the first 'super sub' ever made. The GZ Nuke, as it was called on these very boards, started the xmax wars. GZ USA went out of business several years ago now, but obviously GZ Europe (the orig) is still doing fine.

TC use to OEM for GZ USA, back when the Plutonium was first released. They since split, and I do not know how GZ (euro) is still using a frame that so far as I know, Fi Audio now owns the patent to.

Fi purchased the patent on that frame a while back, everything but the 18" version iirc. And before you ask, no, they do not plan to use the frame on any of their subs. But they say some of the companies they OEM for will.
