it is difficult to actually squeeze out where drive unit are made , this is true for quite a few commercial manufactureres
in the peerless web site the units made in india , used to be mentioned as to where they have been assembled / made
the industry news here in india is they are yet manufacturing for peerless as well as jpw and a few other well known finished product manufacturers
infact peerless of india is now dealing in the finished products of the company s they are supplying to
TO CHECK FOR CHINESE
ONE TELL TALE SIGN I ALWAYS USE IS THAT FIRSTLY CHECK OUT THE CHASIS
chinese have developed stepped dia chassis where the surround is fitted that is when looking from the magnet side you will find the spider area is in steps of varieng dia (this has been done so that the same chasis can be supplied to diffrent oem contractors using a combination of different cones and spiders as that - is what will change in models in a specified speaker dia size other than the motor structure
for chinese also check the plating or the chrome quality and shine it is totally different to products plated in europe / usa
chinese is shiny , original is dull
a higher approach will be to get hold of a penshien (forgings) catalogue , all their oem products to reputated brands like jbl , mission , infinity , jenson ets invaribly ends up on their catalogue as an oem product which is labelled their own
TO CATCH INDIANS
again check out the chasis , the chasis will not have steps but will be a pressed steel one mostly black powder coated
now the steel thickness will not be heavy ,
the powder coating will be dull and if you compaire to a computer cabinet purchased in europe / usa you will find the indian one dull , or shiny ones will have a granular finish
next tale tell sign of an indian speaker is the gasket , the gasket will not be generally laser cut / or there will not be any gasket at all
