Good 6x9 Speakers MADE in the USA?
I managed to blow the hell out my front passanger 6x9's so I'm on the prowl for some 6x9 that will sound good connected to the base factory stereo of my 07 Ram QC and, more importantly, MADE IN THE USA.
Even if the company designs it in the US but outsources it to China (like Kicker) I am not interested. I'm looking for a speaker born and raised in USA.
And for those who are curious, it is not because I think USA makes the highest quality speakers, it is because our economy is taking a s**t right now for many reasons, one of which is because we keep buying foreign-made goods. We all know money is power and if we keep buying foreign manufactured and/or made products we're giving hard earned American power away, one dollar at a time.
Thanks for the help in advance!

I went with diamond audio. I believe they are based out of arizona. not sure about production though. I originally planned on going with MTX however the magnet would not fit in the door. Had to make a last minute swithch to diamond audio. My dealer recomended them and I sure am glad he did.

Diamond Audio products are made in China...
Yeah unfortunately, it is harder than it looks nowadays to find pure-bred American goods.
Which is why I will actually call the manufacturer to find out for sure.

That's gonna be a tall order. I know BA and Polks used to be made here, but that was some time ago (like late 80's) when I was in college and working p/t installing car audio.
I know my old RTA 11T home speakers (that I bought in 1990 and still use to this day), were manufactured in Baltimore, MD. But I read somewhere that all Polks are designed at the MD. headquarters and once Matthew Polk signs off on them, it's straight to China from that point...
