kingsuv Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 More than likely because they are well known now so they have figured out if people want to run there product that bad then they are able to jack up the price a little and make a little bit more money off the product. I dont think it has anything to do with the price of materials going up. Because as everyone knows this company has taken off like no other. So unlike a year ago or so they are able to by parts in even more mass quantity so that means that it is costing them less. Every new business does the same thing most people just dont notice it. Demand goes up and the price slowly sneaks its way up as well. They are in this business to make money not to give sh1t away. I can bet ya that the price increase do to the "cool factor" isn't anywhere close to the actual raw material price increases. Everyone might want to keep a better eye on the raw material prices in relation to our economy and over seas suppliers. If anyone thinks ANY of these internet based brands are flushed with cash, then I suggest you jump on the cash wagon and do it yourself. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

AA98hoe Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I talked to rusty personally and material prices have skyrocketed especially for neo which in turn affects the cost of ferrite because people that where using neo now are switching back to ferrite. Its goin to affect all sub manufacturers check and you will see. Dc still offers a quality sub , amp etc so its worth a small increase Quote TEAM DC AUDIO VEHICLE:98 chevy tahoe 2wd 3-4 drop HEADUNIT:alpine 9886 PREAMP:arcaudio FRONT STAGE:4-6 1/2s selinium,DD component set and 4-selinium tweeters in each door KICKPANELS:jl audio 5 1/4 REAR DOORS: dd components 6 1/2s HIGHS AMPS:zapco 750.2 on front doors,zapco an another 750.2 on kicks and rear doors SUBS:4-ascendant audio 18s with 5 spiders in a custom box built by KINGSUV SUB AMP: 2-dc7.5s ALTERNATORS: 3-mechmans 1- 425comp, 1-smd spec350, 1-270 with adj voltage harness on custom dc bracket WIRE:10-runs 0g front to back BATTERIES:6-d1400s TL results:157.1 at 38hz and 156.8 at headrest score @37hz.

cc_audio Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I like to think innovation costs money, you want Rusty to put out a bigger better product year after year? Well first you'll have to buy his current product at a little higher cost. I just hope Rusty never stops climbing to the top. Rockford got there and said, hmm... Lets just focus on profits and reliability. We'll innovate when profits start to fall. Quote It's all gone! The Celica Build Feedback If I buy something from you, DO NOT USE FEDEX!

ktraughb Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Because japan and all their raw materials near the coast went under water..where many motors, lasers, cones, baskets and much more car audio related products are built.
