Atleast we know whenever we buy from him its fresh product lol. Hes not making thousands of product at a time and sitting on old stock forever till it all sells years later. But then theres the down side of waiting for a restock.

No, his site is up to date. Inventory is on lock down.

People dont understand how fast things can sell out, and since the majority of his products are all hand made by his employees, son, and his other business associates along with himself it is hard to keep up on demand.

These are not mass produced products made by an employee getting paid pennies on the dollar and being shipped overseas by boat.

To put it simple all of the speaker terminals, fuse holders, RCA's, speaker and other various adapters are made in Cali by 3 people. Steve keeps the machine running and does some other final touches after being machined, branding does a lot of the sanding and assembling, Antheny deals with all things shipping, emails, site stock, soldering of RCA's.

That is a lot of various products in various sizes and options for 3 people to keep up on!

Not to mention he has various other local shops selling his products and various online retailers such as Sonic Electronix, Jet, Wooferwarehouse, and his Amazon and Ebay pages.

Tony and Juan at D'amore Engineering solders all the surface mount components on all the meters and testing tools (such as the vu-din, vm-1, vm-1HV, tm-1 F, tm-1 C, om-1, dd-1, dd-1+, cc-1, im-sg, amm-1, ampdyno-1). These components are all hand soldered and assembled in AZ, not to mention they also have their own business such as DiamondBoxx to tend to as well which again is all hand made by them.

The only thing that is not done in house by this dream team crew are the multiple layer PC-B boards  and plastic housings for the tools and meters because obviously they dont have a giant injection molding machines that cost several hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Just having the molds made for these products to tooled is 20-60 grand.

Of coarse you could 3D print said housings like other wannabe companies, but lets be real here that takes so much longer (your talking 4+ hours for 1 case to be 3d printed when a injection molding machine can pop the same piece out in 15 seconds), and it looks cheap. The low resolution quality of a 3d printed product is poor, nor does it look professional.

These are the old style cables, they are discontinued so you might want to email and ask them if they are in stock, or if they are replaced by the twisted style cables.
I was just barely lucky enough to get all 12 or so cables I needed for my truck to have all matching ones. lol
