Customer service is a huge factor for me. As well as cost. Do I prefer a product that is made in the US? For sure. But when the price is substantially more than a product that is very similar, I tend to go the cheaper route. 

This, and im the same. CS goes a LONG LONG way with me. Long ass way. That is why we run, what we run. CS for days.

Thats real as fuck.  The car audio industry is plagued with poor customer service.  For those few companies (not just amps) that have great CS... I will pay more for their product on principle alone.

Dirk Ecker and Robert Zeff couple of my favs

Not sure about Zapco amps, but the amps Zeff designed under contract for Arc are made in China. I think Taiwan, actually, but i’ve read that the components are not Chinese. They bring in self-branded parts for each production run.

Right now Korean amplifiers are some of the best , pretty sure sure my America Bass is designed in the US but made overseas . I pay more for quality and for reliability. 

Nothing is "designed" in the states except maybe the heatsink and thats usually pushing it for most companies... Its purely marketing!
They are basic Zenon boards or S&I that are really no different than any other brand using the same Zenon or S&I board.
Granted this isnt for all brands, but a lot of Korean brands out there.
Then you have companies like Pride Audio out of Russia that are actually honest about it and say Designed and Built in Korea. Other brands like Incriminator Audio that have actually done R&D work themselves, own patents on their split force designs and can legitimately say designed in the USA and built in Korea. Rockford Fosgate use to be designed and engineered in USA, thats what Tony and Juans job as well as others, no clue now though since they are no longer with RF and  have their own brand amplifiers as well as the SMD tools, DiamondBoxx, etc.

Alot of the lower tier  from rockford are made in china now adays. Doesnt stop them from being good products. Everybody has a preference. As others have said my choice goes to the companies who are real with their numbers, have good cs and are priced well.

The only brand of amplifiers that I know for sure that is designed and built in the United States is Linear Power.
