have you guys ever considered adding a couple more build houses for times like this? or maybe stocking up and prebuilding some subs before busy season? or maybe offer where you buy all the parts and assemble the sub yourself? lol idk just a thought Edited by ohio45113

Buying just the parts to build your self would be cool. Could maybe be cheaper and less time

Because our speakers are made to order in the USA, in one location with a pair of engineers that are some of the very best period, we keep our manufacturing with them. 

 

The issue is, the constantly rising costs of materials and rising costs of building in the USA, the money is not there to grow a larger build house, and the profit is not there, not to mention the undertaking to even attempt that.  What that means, is there is more demand than man power, and less profit than man power to keep up with demand.  So there is no way, in the current situation, unless we raise prices to where they should be in the first place, that we could be stocking or pre-building.  People want top end, premium American made subwoofers for near Chinese made prices.  So something has to give.  Lastly, we are not going to have an assemble yourself subwoofer, new, with the SSA logo on it.  That would be untold amounts of issues for even less profit.  I appreciate the input, but unless people are suddenly willing to pay for what SSA subwoofers are really worth, we do not have the option to have a large stock or expand the build house.

 

In simple terms:  "Fast, Great, Cheap, pick two." ;)

yeah I was just throwin ideas around.. wasnt tryin to start a battle or anything.. I dont ever see people posting bitching about price.. what I do see is people bitching about waiting so long for something that cost so much usually... ive tried to get a few people I know to order some zcons or evils and they usually say I would but I cant wait that long lol.. then they will turn around and pay retail for something stupid like L7s or some fosgate power series.

There is the perfect example.  People want Fast, Great, and Cheap.  People do complain about the price enough that I can see, too often they say they won't buy SSA because they think it is over priced because they can just order something else that is FAR FAR cheaper to build that they mistakenly think is on the same level.

 I wonder what SSA subs are really worth since the store pricing seems to be undercutting it? Just curious

I can understand feeling the midbass but voices in your chest, seems kinda odd.
