Is this a rumor or fact

[Rushboy99]

Is JBL making speaker's for Crate Bass Amp's ? and what other companies do you make the speaker's for, ( bass amp's) I think the best speaker's made are The JBL you can't go wrong with

I"d definitely NOT expect to find any JBL's in Crate speakers.

Crate is owned by St. Louis Music... IMHO, SLM uses some of the cheapest, crappiest off-shore parts, of all the stuff I see on a regular basis...

I agree with most of what you say Gordon...but I do believe there was a period of time a few years ago, when Crate was offering JBL E-Series in some amps. I'm not sure about currently....but I saw Crate amps with JBL at the NAMM show...but I don't remember the year.

Here's a link that seems to support the JBL option.
