If the the cost of building the products is high here then start thinking of building it in South America.

The shipping time will get cut in half and no worries on tariff but we have to train the people there. This is going to take few years to do it but getting mfg out of China should be American Security issue .

God Bless America

What is still not clear is the loose parts for a subwoofer are charged 25% tariffs and the entire subwoofer assembled and boxed only pay 7.1%. There is absolutely no push to build it here based on the current structure. IMO, somewhere the numbers got reversed. Should be higher on the finished sub and lower on the parts. Or…..India and Vietnam are gradually stepping up to fill some voids. These are “friendly” countries with no or minimal tariffs.

We walked willingly to China. We searched them out for cheap labor, just as we still do in other countries. Quit trying to make China the boogyman. We did this to ourselves.

How hard it is to design and manufacture anything in the USA? It’s not hard at all. I hope this is a wakeup call.
