American Amps vs. Imported

Uhhh... spitfireguy, JL amps are made in China.There is no such thing as free installation!

Let's not forget Sinfoni (Italy) and Genesis (England). Both compared equally to Zapco and Tru. Audison also makes some impressive products. mmmm not made in USA either. The Speaker Works Grand National was Alpine powered and I believe Harry Kimora's first Acura system was Alpine.    There are some tweek products out there that aren't mainstream that are incredible to say the least. Not all are American made.

Bah..! Eclipse amps are, what I consider to be, a superlative imported product. In fact, outside of the JL 'slash' series of amps, there really isn't any other line of amplifiers that I would install in *my* car. That said, I consider McIntosh and Zapco (McIntosh especially) to be superlative *American* products. And... well... lets not kid ourselves. America is a superlative nation. We're badass baby. That said, spitfireguy, I'm not sure if *any* of the amps you listed would be "american" amps. American holding companies and American owned computers with foriegn-designed internals designing over-engineered subs that are cheaply made in China ::cough::JL::cough:: is, I believe the extent of the "American" companies you mentioned. That said, I am a firm supporter of globalization. And Thomas Friedman is a hack. "I'm finished!" - Daniel Plainview

Funny, my Nakamichi is made in the US...Go figure.
