Most other countries will re-produce any item at 1/4 the cost. (we ..America.. want too much money to do anything. That is how this economy is so messed up.) No one is producing anything in the country no more. It is all outsourced for cheaper labor rates. Which leads to why bodykit.org is selling the OSV kit for 1500. That is america's labor pricing. I know some people oversea's who can reproduce the kit for 150 bucks total, then anyone can resell it and mark up the kit up to 400 bucks. people in china for example makes like 1 US Dollar an hour. which is why stuff is reproduced cheaper. LOL

Even US Amps isnt produced in USA anymore.
Most Harley parts are imported.
But that isnt part of my thread about which audio companies make stuff where. So stop thread jacking!
What color you guys like best for my amps?
?
The last two are "annodized" look. They require a base of silver then the fine color and i think even a clear coat?

Will heat escape properly with powdercoat. I know its not a big deal when it come to exhaust gases but heat on amps usually make components fail.

I'd go with red, as long as there is an intermediate color between.... Like black carpet?? Something that gives contrast

I'm assuming these will be mounted in the trunk...if so, you should do a whole red, white, and blue theme, make the subs look like to butt cheeks and have a sign over them that says kiss my ass terrorists

sometimes you have to work with what you're given. Like it would be stupid to paint your engine bay blue if you had a maroon car.
The other thing that would be cool is to do it up so the subs looked like cannons
