Ground Zero offers dealers a complete brand solution that can cover any part of their product line up. With products ranging from entry level to high end “SQ” amps, speakers, and processors, SPL subwoofers, Pro Audio style drivers, and OEM drop in and plug and play solutions, Ground Zero has become one of the largest car audio brands in the world. 

“With more than 400 products distributing in 65 countries, we are sure to be a great partner for BB,” said Ground Zero founder Karl Felix Lautner. “Ground Zero is not just another brand in car audio entertainment, every product is engineered in Germany to be the best in sound and value to compete on the highest level with any competitor.”

SounDigital brings together small footprint, big power, versatility, and great sound quality to a single family of amplifiers, making it a go to line for dealers and consumers both. The EVOX line is a great mix of multichannel and monoblock amplifiers that gives sales and installs the flexibility to use our amps in pretty much any situation.

Canada-wide coverage and support ensures effective market opportunity

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, September 17, 2019 —SoundShield™, the innovative sound deadening brand that debuted at KnowledgeFest in Dallas last month, announced they have signed BB Distribution as their exclusive Canadian distributor. SoundShield co-founders John Schwartz and Bryan Schmitt both said, “We’re very excited to partner with the powerhouse team at B&B! They have a great reputation and it’s an honor to have them exclusively represent our brand SoundShield in Canada.”

BB Distribution will stock SoundShield in its 44,000 square foot headquarters and Western Canada warehouse in Edmonton, Alberta as well as in their Eastern Canada warehouse and office in Mississauga, Ontario. The company also has a French speaking Client Services office in Montreal, Quebec. “We have the entire country well covered with our warehouse locations and most importantly with our national sales and training team to support our aftermarket automotive electronics specialist dealers. We are excited to partner with John and Bryan with this SoundShield brand opportunity in Canada.” remarked Jason Haberman, Director Sales & Marketing for BB Distribution.

SoundShield’s flagship product is a 4.5mm thick, triple-layer damping sheet with a flexible butyl rubber, high-tac adhesive base, a heat-rejecting foil center and a high-tech, waterproof closed-cell foam top layer. The sheets easily install on vehicles sheet metal and panels prone to vibration and transfer of road noise. “We originated the adhesive compound after much testing in Alaska where my retail shop (Perfectionist Auto Sound & Security) is located, so we know SoundShield will adhere easily and remain bonded even in the coldest Canadian winters,” said John Schwartz.

B&B Electronics changed company names to BB Distribution this year after 47 years of distributing 12 volt electronics and accessories. The company is known for their annual BB Dealer Expo in Edmonton where they offer the BB Installer IQ School with high level 12 Volt technician training over three to four days. Bryan Schmitt, the lead instructor at BB Installer IQ commented, “Their dedication to the specialist retailer channel is a significant reason we chose to sign BB Distribution as our exclusive Canadian distribution partner for SoundShield.”

Founded in 2019, partners John Schwartz and Bryan Schmitt saw an opportunity to elevate the level of installation quality behind the panels of a vehicle interior so that every technician’s visual and audible installation efforts were highlighted without the drawbacks of rattles, buzzes and road noise. Headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska and with its central US distribution facility in Dallas, Texas, SoundShield is dedicated to 12 volt retailers and interior fabrication specialists with the highest quality and most effective automotive sound deadening products available today.
