They are very profitable for all in the food chain.
1. There is no real serious competition
2. No other system as powerful with the dispersion can fit in the backseat of a Honda Civic. LOL
3. Their are a ton of SATISFIED users
4. Resale value is simply amazing (when one can even find them used on Ebay) for a PA
Mod II routinely sell for between $2200-$2500. Not bad to only lose $500- $800 on a full turnkey PA system.
Total Cost of ownership is equal to a small cheapo PA system!!!
