Bird, I am an OEM supplier, I do not deal with the consumers, distributors or retailers. The companies I work with custom build exclusive private label models of professional audio components. Meaning subwoofers, mid-range, full range (musical instrument segment and PA), high frequency compression drivers, horns, cross overs, adapters, etc. to be incorporated as an integral part of a finished "enclosure".
I do know and have spoken with many of sls manufacturer's reps and sales are very good to excellent, winning many projects in fact. Consultants as well play as big part in this business. For example, if you are the "Specified Vendor" whoever the Contractor is, they MUST install the specified manufacturer and model as specified.
In the past I have received PO's for multi-thousands of components out of the blue. As in the Consulting Industry you can be as far out as 24-36 months before the project is ready to actually "install".
Ask unwise nothing, except "Why?"
