Ben Building Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Well If you want to do some sort of co-op building then that requires parts. I'm sure no one here wants to be on the hook for a bunch of parts. Especially when builders like us have to order thousands if not tens of thousands of parts to get good prices.Don't get lost in a maze of problems and get distracted from the original goal. I have to do work today so I'll have to pick up later. In the meantime, we need to be thinking of ways we can do things we need to do, not why we can't. Try subwoofers on for size if amps seem too complicated to you. Nobody has to hammer out all the datails right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazeris Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 This will never work for simply one reason...GREED. We dont live in a perfect communist society (these dont exist and never will) where people will come to work for the benefit of all. Everyone will eventually worry about their own and that is what drives capitalism. I am not saying I dont like it, I like the idea of each getting their own for what they put in, but there will always be those that try and do as much as they can for themselves and rush through work to get "points" just to turn out a product, now even the china stuff is better built. I dont believe in spreading the wealth but there is too much greed in this country for something like this to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick824 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 You're not listening. There are several people on here that run our own businesses. It's just not that easy to start up, operate, and maintain any business much less an amplifier company of the magnitude you're wanting here in the USA. It is not financially feasable. You will go broke trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has to hammer out all the datails right now. Ok so lets take subs into account. How many baskets, or motors, or cones, or spiders, or coils, or gaskets and glue do you think we have to order to get them to be worth the cost? I'm gonna say that someone like Scott or Rusty has to order a container full to get a decent price If you order the minimum amount of motors required to meet production you better have a good amount space to house it Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc_audio Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 The only way to truly support Made in the U.S.A. is to go out support FORD, GM and Chrysler. just my .02, Sorry to break your heart but 95% of all domestic vehicles actually built in the US borders are shipped elsewhere in the world. In fact there aren't that many plants in the US. The cars we drive come from Canada and Mexico assembly plants. So, the whole support our vehicles thing isn't cutting it either. The other 5% are special order vehicles. You'd have to buy a concept car to get a new US made vehicle. Remember that Car companies are taking an ass kicking themselves. But the whole cheap labor thing has been a topic for decades and isn't really what's kicking our ass. What put us over the top was Oil. Plain and simple and OVERLOOKED. I think amplifier parts made in china and korea and Brazil is fine, thats a machine process anyways, those countries have to trade something. Those countries don't have shit for natural resources like the US and thats why our country seems so great. We have everything (including a shitload of oil but we won't let ourselves touch it ). Most other countries such as Japan, China, Brazil, Mexica, etc depend on cheap labor because they have no natural resources. It's not wrong to buy overseas, in most cases. In the case of amplifiers they will (or should) be assembled in the U.S. Those are jobs right there building amps. What's far worse than cheap labor in other countries is cheap labor in this country, as construction worker I can contest just how bad illegal immigrants are. There are illegal mexicans snatching up all kinds of jobs here in northern ILLINOIS!!! I can't even imagine how bad it is in the southern states. Thats whats taking our jobs and really fucking us over as well. This whole US made amp thing is very political really. Point is, if its assembled in the US typically it will be a much stronger reliable and solid amp then if it were assembled elsewhere. Designed in US and assembled in US is what makes a great amp. US made internals not that important. I bet the US uses the same machines as those in korea. The amps that are designed and assembled in the US are the ones that should be recognized on this thread. Quality before quantity. USA FTMFW!!!! It's all gone! The Celica Build Feedback If I buy something from you, DO NOT USE FEDEX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrick824 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I've seen pics of DC Audio's & T3 audio's places and been to Sundown Audio several times. Storage space and work space are big issues. This isn't something you can do out of a spare room in your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
