Posted June 18, 201114 yr Are there any amps being made presently that are not made in China or Korea, any just made in the good ole USA anymore??
June 18, 201114 yr Everything has some portion of it made foreign. Stuff may be assembled in USA. But it might be bauxite from France to make allulminum, sub frames built in china, spiders made in Mexico from US cotton and nomex. Did you know that the US exports nearly 40 percent of it's scrap steel to china to be forged then has it shipped back here to build stuff with it. From the lower Mississippi river and the port of Houston Texas, the company I work for surveys over 180,000 metric tons of scrap steel a day that is exported to china to be forged and is then sent back here. Most of which is a grade 3A which means it has less than .5 percent trash in it. On average it stows on a ship at 60 cubic feet per metric ton. This means that the amount of steel us companies pay the Chinese to forge for them everyday out of just these two ports fills up 10,800,000 cubic feet
June 18, 201114 yr Im guessing not the best?I've just read a fair amount of mixed things about'm. So id do some homework before buying.

June 18, 201114 yr zuki amps AFAIK I have read...Only the 6 channel says its made in the USA, the rest say designed in the USA. :shrugs:Any higher watt mono amps made hereWhat do you consider higher watt?

June 18, 201114 yr Zapco C2Ks are the ONLY amplifiers built in the USA with 100% USA source components, but. . .

June 19, 201114 yr You'll have to go back 8-10 years to find them, maybe even more. The original MMATS amps were 100% USA and they were awesome tanks. Soundstream, Kicker, PPI, Orion, and RF all had large amps that were entirely made in the USA, but they are going to be expensive and hard to find. There is reason manufacturers move production outside of the states. The buyer demands cheapest prices and the only way to fulfill that is by going to Asia for production. 100% American products are pretty much a niche anymore.
June 19, 201114 yr Nope, not anymore. The one's that were weren't even made by MTX. They were made by PPI and a source I can not name.

As this continues you will start to see more completely made in the USA products which in reality shouldn't happen, but people here are so fucking lazy it will
