JBL closed the Northridge plant that made 2226 drivers last July. They moved production to Tijuana, Mexico. My suspicion is they will need to work through some bugs, and are probably experiencing some rejects as they ramp up production. Note, however, that this plant has been running for decades making JBL products, and in fact, made the 2245 before production ended. So it's not like the facilities and staff are new to driver manufacturing.
I don't like the move, of course, but I think probably they will inspect the parts pretty thoroughly to ensure quality remains high. Hopefully once they get going, it will be back to business as usual. We'll see.
