Those Gotham enclosures are absolutely crazy.  1 month build time?  Copper mesh infused in the enclosure for shielding?  Man that's a crazy sub.:o):

Incredible stuff. The checking and re-checking of components is impressive and reassuring, as well as testing outsourced parts for accuracy.

I very curious to hear those new sub systems. I really do have a different view of JL, after a few photos. Goes to show that there are still a few comapnies out with compassionate owners and workers.

I'm amazed they let people take as many pictures that they did.  I work in a manufacturing facility and we would never, under any circumstance, allow anyone outside of the company to take pictures of our warehouse, let alone our process.  I guess they have nothing to hide!

It does look like an amazing operation, and that must be a huge building.  It appears there are quite a few different areas for manufacturing.

Very impressive!

Each Gotham requires a new $200 CNC drill bit to cut out the 1 inch thick fiberglas enclosure. That's sick.

Gothams are finally shipping. For only $11,000 you too can own a small earthquake machine!

yeah i was looking through that last night....those Gotham enclosures are crazy...that is some thick *** fiberglass.

I bet you could drop one of those enclosures off a 10 story building and it wouldn't break lol
