RE Audio Subwoofers

[truthsayer]

Has anyone tried or know anyone using the new re audio subwoofers? I know for a few years back they were outsourcing some of their parts to china. But now the 2013 subs are all handmade in the USA. They look pretty sweet, but I was hopeing someone with personal experience could give their opinion.

Are you sure the whole line is made in the us? I think they used to say that too but it was really just the Mt or something that wasn't outsourced? Idk don't quote me on that haha

Idk i wouldnt even recommend any RE. my friends RE cone just split one day it was a 10" and he took it to the shop and they said they didnt make it anymore and the sub just had an RE logo. No model or anything.

Go with a better company. i love my SoundQubed sub. you can tell those are made with some TLC.

well I know from speaking with re audio. their products are all made at their plant in California. I thought they should be good subs since they were previously owned and designed, by the same person at fi audio.

They sound nice. Idk if it was an older model my friend had but it just fell apart after a few months. and he didnt go crazy with it, and never had anything capable of putting a hole in the center. but it just cracked, then sounded terrible.

well I was looking to change my current sub set up. And it was either going to be RE or fi. I was just leaning towards RE because so many around here run fi. And I hate following the mainstream around here. The re looks rock solid and priced a little less than the fi's. The customer service is great, and they tell me if not a 100 percent satisfied they will give a full refund. also warranty seems to be good. And they appear to be rock solid and superior than their previous models. was just hopeing someone had tried their new line up of subs.

I haven't heard anything about them coming back to the US and I would have a hard time believing that they did. either way, I would bet money that the parts still come from asia and the california factory just glues them together.

I recently wound up with a used SRX 15 that I built a factory spec ported box for and used in my truck while I played with some other speakers and boxes.

For a 400 watt speaker with 1000 watts hitting it daily, it held up remarkably well and didn't make the first unpleasant sound all the way up to the time when the coil melted in two. It was a clean burn, too. I couldn't see any burn marks on the former or anything...

In my opinion, that speaker could have handled 500 watts for a long, long time with no troubles whatever. It sounded really good also.

well I would hope they were not lying, and since they were the makers of us amps ( which used to be pretty good amps) and the research I have done outside speaking with RE. Sonic electronics confirms that all 2013 products are made in the US. I may just take the chance and try one the sx pro subs. Was realy hopeing someone had purchased some of their new line up.
