We've been asked.......

Q:  If Credence has been building speakers for over 30 years, why have I never heard of them?

A:  You haven't heard of Credence because we've been building speakers exclusively for other name brand "manufacturers". Credence has been the manufacturer for many of the most popular and successful names in car audio today.

Q:  Why are we hearing about Credence now?

A:  As everyone is aware, cheap overseas labor has enticed many of the U.S.'s retailers and marketing companies to China and other "free labor" countries to buy cheaper and cheaper products. As manufacturing business has been lost to "free labor", U.S. plants, such as Credence, have found themselves with manufacturing capacity not being used.  We have chosen to use that capacity to continue engineering and producing high quality speakers, and branding and marketing them ourselves.

A:  With foreign products a lot is saved (not necessarily passed on to the consumer) in manufacturing labor, but freight and related costs add greatly to the end price. Credence has the money saving advantage of selling directly from our U.S. factory. True - U.S. higher cost labor is used in the manufacturing, but there is no ocean freight, duty and customs costs, and no extra layer of middle marketing.
