Who bought out who? old companies

[cleansoundzz 10+ year member]

I don't know if we ever had this thread but I am interested to know who bought out who over the years and when? When did some of the better companies go out of business as well.

I know Maxxsonics bought out Hifonics and Autotek but I don't know when.

I know that Lanzar was bought out by the same company that owns Pyramid.

I know that Linear Power went out of business in 2004.

I know Precision Power was bought out by Directed Electronics.

Could anyone add on to these facts? Please discuss companies such as ADS, Precision Power, Hifonics, Autotek, Audio Art, Rodek, etc.

Thanks,

Clean Soundz

I wish i knew WHO!!! i stopped by this shop near my house and they had told me this but didnt know who! the owner showed me the new V-Max subs and i have to say i was extremely impressed! they put in two 12's running off of a crunch 3000 and can i say WOAH! they slammed! Hard! its not no Fi or DD but for 130 a sub pretty legit!

Thats what I thought as well. As recently as 1 year ago, I heard Diamond Audio closed shop.
