Re: Made in the USA
Kicker is a good brand so is Alpine and JL audio all depends on what your willing to spend and what your wanting to do.

Re: Made in the USA
don't be confused by "designed in the USA" or "assembled in the USA"; another nice way of saying "made elsewhere".
with that being said, very little is made here these days, and whatever is has a high price tag to it. you're probably better off looking for some used stuff. never had an issue with a well built used amp before. speakers, eh.

Re: Made in the USA
If you mean made/assembled/designed in the USA well your choices are slim. If you mean available in the US see below:
DC Audio
Sundown Audio
Kicker
Alpine
JL Audio
Sound Solutions Audio
JBL
Digital Designs
US Amps
RE
Orion
All depends on budget goals and space.

All are assembled in the USA, actual parts are probably not American but the build quality is very good.
Sundown Audio has a good rep and customer service but are made in Korea.
RE is made overseas as are ARC, Image Dynamics, Vibe, Zapco, the list goes on.
That being said, DLS amps (Sweden) and Morel speakers & subs (Israel) are my favs...and available in the US

Re: Made in the USA
Acoustic Elegance are built in the US with US sourced parts. Even the frames are cast in the US. Impressive but expensive and they are a two man show so lead times are high.

Re: Made in the USA
Thanks...I'm still a fan of Bill D. Cat
Forgot about AE...TD12H is definitely a great sub. Looks very similar to an Fi Q.

Re: Made in the USA
If you are looking for a great USA product, you might want to check out Hifonics. I own one of their Brutus amps and i have been overwhelmed by how amazing it performs. Prices are VERY reasonable through sonicelectronix.com
