July 5th, 2024 – Ringwood, IL – Race Sport Lighting, a leader in advanced automotive lighting solutions, is proud to announce the launch of the NOVAlm Series LED Kits, designed specifically for off-road enthusiasts seeking superior high performance, rugged durability, and putting the light where they need it on the trails. Also known as the NOVA-Lumen, this kit defies the lumen output of all other light bulbs on the market.

The NOVAlm Series LED Kits represent the pinnacle of LED lighting technology, combining cutting-edge engineering with the rugged reliability required for off-road adventures. These LED kits are engineered to deliver exceptional brightness, enhanced visibility, and long-lasting durability, ensuring that off-road enthusiasts can tackle the toughest terrains with confidence.

Key Features of the NOVAlm Series LED Kits:

• Unmatched Brightness: Utilizing the latest in LED technology, the NOVAlm Series provides unparalleled brightness, illuminating the path ahead with a crisp, clear light that mimics natural daylight. The NOVAlm measured up to 21,640lx per kit, which is more than most high-power light bars used off-road.
• Robust Durability: Built to withstand the harshest conditions, these LED kits feature a rugged, waterproof design that can endure mud, water, and extreme temperatures. This kit is equipped with a 3-year manufacturer warranty for years of enjoyment.
• Easy Installation: The NOVAlm Series LED Kits are designed for easy installation, allowing off-road enthusiasts to quickly upgrade their vehicles and hit the trails without delay. The main feature that installers will love is the waterproof BNC between the bulb and driver that will allow for easy installation on vehicles with seal caps behind the bulbs.
• Energy Efficiency: With low power consumption and a long lifespan, these LED kits are not only powerful but also energy efficiently designed. Never has a bulb with so high of a lumen output ever run so efficiently, measuring temperatures at the base and tower body of less than 120 degrees.

"We are thrilled to bring the NOVAlm Series LED Kits to the off-road enthusiast community," said Steven Jergensen, President of Race Sport Lighting. "These LED kits are a game-changer for off-road enthusiasts who demand the best in LED high performance and reliability. Having the ability for your High beam or Fog Light forward driving bulbs to put out Lux outputs that match your off-road lighting bars and auxiliary lights adds another dimension of projection lighting where the driver most needs the lighting in front of them.”

Race Sport Lighting has a long-standing reputation for innovation and quality in the automotive lighting industry. The introduction of the NOVAlm Series LED Kits underscores the company's commitment to providing top-of-the-line products that meet the evolving needs of their customers. It is important to note that this high-power LED kit is made and designed only to go in low beams in lenses in off-road only vehicles, and never in on-road vehicles. If installed in on-road vehicles, only install inside fog lamps or high beam applications that can be switched on and off to be used only when the driver needs them.

These initiatives are designed to recognize and reward the collaborative efforts of sales teams and installers, and to offer store owners a new revenue stream.

Part 1: Enhanced Rewards Program: Split Rewards for Sales and Installers

VOXX is excited to introduce a groundbreaking enhancement to its rewards program for the SmartStart Pro. Effective immediately, rewards for selling the SmartStart Pro can now be split between two individuals – projectably the salesperson and the installer. This change addresses a longstanding industry issue where only the salesperson received rewards, leaving installers unrecognized despite their critical role in the customer experience.

“This new approach ensures that both the sales team and installers are equally motivated and rewarded for their contributions,” said Aron Demers, Senior Vice President of VOXX Electronics. “By acknowledging the essential work of our retail sales associates and technicians, we are fostering a more collaborative and productive environment, ultimately leading to better customer satisfaction and increased sales.”

Part 2: Revenue Share Program for Store Owners

In addition to the enhanced rewards program, VOXX is also launching a new revenue share opportunity for store owners. Store owners who renew service plans for the SmartStart Pro will now be eligible for a share of the revenue generated from these renewals. This initiative is designed to provide store owners with an additional income stream, encouraging them to actively promote the renewal of service plans and enhancing the overall customer retention rate.

“Store owners play a pivotal role in our distribution network, and their success is integral to our own,” added Demers. “The revenue share program is our way of recognizing their efforts and ensuring they benefit directly from the ongoing relationship with their customers. This not only rewards their hard work but also aligns our goals in delivering exceptional service and support.”

Auburn Hills, Mich. (May. 31, 2024) – Alps Alpine North America, Inc. (“Alpine”) will attend the 2024 Electrify Expo event at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, California from Friday, May 31 to Sunday, June 2.

Alpine will have a 20’ x 20’ booth in the Electrify Show-Off & Aftermarket Pavilion with a 2021 Tesla Model 3 demonstrating the precision sound performance of the industry’s first complete sound system upgrade designed to fit the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y.

Each system includes an 11-speaker (or 13, for factory premium audio systems) upgrade designed to easily replace the front, rear, and center dash Tesla factory speakers with Hi-Resolution certified speakers from Alpine’s “Blue Series” speaker line. The package also includes a powerful 10” subwoofer and 12-Channel Premium Digital Sound Processor and ultra-efficient EV-optimized Amplifier that’s tuned for the unique cabin environment for the Tesla.

Members from Alpine’s sales and marketing staff will be available during the event to answer product questions and provide vehicle demonstrations. Long Beach-based Alpine Authorized Retailer, PCH Custom Audio, will also be on-site with Tesla systems available for purchase at special, event-only deals.

Electrify Expo is the #1 Electric Vehicle Festival in North America with a 1 million square foot outdoor festival that attracts over 30,000 attendees and pioneering brands in the electric mobility space.

Oxnard, Ca 5/18/2024 Boss Audio to sponsor a seminar in the sales track of the upcoming Knowledgefest show, which is being held in Atlantic City, NJ June 7-9 2024. The seminar, titled “The Profit Funnel” which will be delivered by Jon Kowanetz of Pathways Coaching & Consulting, aims to provide a solution to several struggles that 12 volt retailers often face such as; finding qualified salespeople, presenting consistent value to customers, being able to offer predictable results and optimizing inventory turnover and profitability.

By sharing a proven method for systematizing the sales process in such a way that can be easily learned, easily taught and easily implemented, Kowanetz says “Anybody who comes to this class will leave with a blueprint for how to create their own unique selling systems that can guide not only in store interactions, but online sales as well, increasing both customer and employee satisfaction, as well as revenue and profit.” Because the retailer populates the system with their own chosen products and qualifying questions, Jon added “what you end upwith is an efficient selling system that is authentic to the DNA and language of the store, rather than just another sales pitch that customers can see right through.”

The last time that Boss sponsored this presentation, at the Las Vegas Knowledgefest event in February, it was the highest rated class in the sales track with attendees saying that it changed the way they look at their sales process and instantly improved their profitability upon implementation.

In keeping with their initiative to support positive growth within the industry, Boss contracted Pathways to deliver the same value to the inaugural Atlantic City event for which record attendance is expected.

Matthew Delgado, Director of Sales for Boss International Group said “At the end of the day, a business needs great products, the tools to sell them effectively and the knowledge to do so profitably. We are proud to offer all of this to the attendees of the Atlantic City event in partnership with Pathways Coaching & Consulting.”

The presentation “The Profit Funnel” will be delivered at 10:40 am on Friday, June 7th 2024 in the Avalon 8 room in the Harrah’s Resort & Convention Center.

Please contact Jon Kowanetz at Pathways Coaching & Consulting with any questions.

Friday, May 10th, 2024 - Oklahoma City, OK - DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products is proud to introduce the VO-W700s, drivers made to satisfy an underappreciated bandwidth between the bottom end of a midrange and the heavy lows of the subwoofer, striking a balance of clarity and power that puts them in a class of their own. With a rich pedigree tracing back to the 1990’s era of Digital Designs 9000 Series subwoofers, and a sleek undemanding profile, these woofers have been made for applications where depth is limited, but expectations are not.

The high powered dual magnet motor is focused through a precisely CnC cut magnet gap, utilizing distortion reducing shorting rings. The voice coil is a high temperature 4 layer copper wire, wound on a dual slit aluminum former for lower inductance and maximum heat transfer. The pressed cone, with weather resistant finish, offers increased rigidity and midrange ability. The dual spiders and high-density, closed cell foam rubber surround govern intense restoring force to deliver fast, hard transients while controlling low frequency flutter under high power.

These features make the VO-W700 woofers the ideal choice when the system design requires a higher crossover pointing to high output midranges, where normal subwoofer rolloff leaves a frequency gap. The bandwidth optimized build coupled with low inductance measures extend the usable frequency response octaves beyond that of traditional subwoofers of a similar design, like the old 9000 Series.

Best of all, the combination of high motor force, tight control, and compact cast frame, allow the VO-W700s to be used in small vented box designs, taking advantage of vehicle acoustic loading, allowing you to enjoy the low end punch with a higher frequency attack, from a myriad of locations in the most cramped of cabin spaces.

Available in the 10 inch VO-W710 and 12 inch VO-W712.
