Is Velodyne gone?

I had JL on my radar for upgrade time. I found a post here with a LOT of people saying JLs are prone to failure due to some cheap internal part (last month?). Can't find the post now, however. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I had a HGS 10 and so does my Dad.  Both have needed amp repair, Velodyne acted like they were surprised at the failure when all along they knew and abandoned support 

I sent his amp to a place in Jersey and it works like new for $150

I took an HGS-10 to Velodyne some years ago when I was in Monterey for the car weekend.  I got the impression that subs were just a sideline activity of a tech company that saw a good application for its high-gain servo technology.  I have two HGS-15s, four HGS-10s, and two SMS-1 bass managers.  At the time, SRI had a similar project aimed at sound cancellation.

Kosst_amojan, please tell us about the car company that you started.
