Amplifiers still made in U.S.A. ?

M3NTAL · 09-12-2008

What are some amplifiers being built in U.S.A. still?

Don't turn this into a quality debate - this is purely an "inquiring minds" thread.

tru technology is. i'm sure there are others as well.

The higher end lines of rockford, MTX Xtant and us amps

M3NTAL · 09-12-2008

You need to list actual product lines, not blanket statements that will confuse people.

**drtool** · 09-12-2008

Zapco CK Line

M3NTAL · 09-12-2008

As stated by Black on Black 98 all Tru Technology amplifiers are built in the U.S.A. according to their website.

**Boostedrex** · 09-12-2008

As far as I know:

Zed Audio
Tru
Zapco CK
Arc SE

M3NTAL · 09-12-2008

Boostedrex might have the complete list there. Pretty sad.

**Boostedrex** · 09-12-2008

What about McIntosh? Are they U.S. made?

Arc SE
McIntosh
Lunar

Not saying it is or isn't, but if you go over to the Arc 125.4 thread going on and follow the links to UBUY, there is clearly a picture of what looks to be an Arc SE amp on their website, which leads me to belive it may be built in Tiawan also. I could be wrong though, just going on the picture on the website.

I was shocked to NOT see a "Made in the USA" sticker on my 25 to Life Power 1000. I picked up a used Punch P5002 and a used Power 351S and both of them have "Made in the USA" but not my big daddy. In fact, my Power 1000 doesn't even say where it is made.... My guess is Korea or China?

I thought they were made in the US? Or at least I read somewhere that they said it was made here. It would be pretty wack if it wasn't.

**Boostedrex** · 09-12-2008

Nah, the SE line is the only line that is all U.S. for Arc. They are pretty big on that fact. (As well they should be IMHO)

**chefhow** · 09-12-2008

Arent MATTS Amps still made down in Fl? How about US Amps?

I can't speak for their high end line, but the budget U.S. Amps X-terminator series are made in Asia. Don't know anything about MATTS current operation.

I have my eye on a couple of TRUs...

Interesting thread ...

M3NTAL · 09-12-2008

Is that honest or sarcastic 6spdcoupe?

I only ask because IMO you are well regarded here and other forums.

**6spdcoupe** · 09-12-2008

It was honest. My curiosity peaked a bit to see the replies both already posted and to come.
