Reply With QuoteI finally heard the "pierced" speakers in Kilrtoys DCB this weekend and want more info on them but have no idea who makes them or who sells them. Does anyone have a manufacturer name or website for them? Thanks.
Transonic sales them; call the location in Upland/Montclair...they went over to China...basically took all the properties they liked about different speaker maker coax's....ie:bigger cone area (7"), cone properties that withstand outdoor conditions (Carbon Fiber), rubber grill surrounds (again marine necessities), and basically built a speaker for the marine market with great qualities from the best of the best...they have since made relationships with a lot of different manufactures and you see them in different California Customs....they are great speakers....and the sound is almost at the level with the MB Premium's...I have both Pierced and MB Prem's....
In reality they went to a speaker manufacturer and pick and chose parts out of a catalog. they did NOT engineer the speakers in any way and they only pay about $18 a pair. Then they turn around and sell them as "the best" when in reality the speakers are built using inferior compnonents......Give me a break. It's a cheap speaker that lends itself well to the marine environment becuaes of some of the components they chose to build them with such as rubber srurronds, non-paper cones etc...
...I never said they engineered anything. Yes, they went a Manufacture, and if you are saying it is inferior cause they were in China wake up to the year 2005....side by side against my MB Quart Premiums they sound just as good. Also, so they cost $18 bucks to produce there....that is the reason they are produced there....cheaper cost of labor and manufacturing....I have had Pierced for two years with 1600 watts of Rockford Hotplates (another great American Made amp (yeah right)), and they still run like a champ... 
Im not saying that becasue they are Chineese they are inferior, but go to CES and you will see all the "custom speaker mfgrs." all in line. You can order your "high Quality" speaker like you would a meal. Can I have a kevlar cone with a big magnet rubber surrounds and a side of chrome please. Side by side with the Quart premiums?? your kidding right? The cost is affected by many factors labor is only 1 of them.
