Oklahoma City, OK, June 1st, 2022 -- DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products for the masses, is proud to introduce the all new HD8SBK, Harley Saddlebag Enclosure Mounting Kit. Every square inch of space matters when you ride. Whether you’re going to the corner-store for a six-pack or going into the desert for the weekend, you need room in your saddlebags to keep the adventure safe and fun. Should you have to sacrifice this space for good audio or worse, sacrifice good audio for the space? DD AUDIO doesn’t think so, and that’s why they’ve built a better, smarter bag/speaker mounting system. With the USA Made HD8SBK you can split your bag in two: one half for space and one half for bass.
Unlike other kits on the market, the HD8SBK completely encloses the speaker while taking up minimal bag space. Riders can store bulky items and sensibly packed loose items in the front of the same bag as their fully enclosed 8” speaker without serious concern for the items or the speaker. The HD8SBK also features a built-in utility tray with bungee straps, so riders can easily secure and quickly access small items stored in the bags. To protect the speaker’s outward facing soft-parts from rocks and debris, DD AUDIO has included a striking black powder coated aluminum 8” DD grill.
The HD8SBK has been tested relentlessly and underwent a thorough prototyping phase to ensure the best possible performance and bass response. It was also built with versatility in mind, giving you a nice range of options for your two 8” woofers (one in each bag). Riders looking to experience superior motorcycle audio can choose from DD AUDIO’s VO-W8, VO-XN8, VO-MN8, VO-M8 and RL-SW08, all of which are water resistant, reliable and offer their own unique sound.
The clean design was tailor made for stock saddlebags on Harley-Davidson Street Glides, Road Glides, Ultra Glides, Electra Glides and Road Kings from 1998 to today. With professional installation, this USA Made kit will fit like a glove and look as if it came included fresh off Harley’s US factory line. From the quality build to smart design features, there truly is no comparison to other mounting brackets on the market which can cost more and offer far less.
Visit ddaudio.com/mounting-hardware/hd8-sbk to learn more about this incredible space saving saddlebag enclosure mountin kit.

Stillwater, OK 74076
Las Vegas, NV – (May 16, 2022) – Audiomobile is pleased to announce the debut of their latest ‘Advanced Technology’ high-performance drivers – the Encore “44” Series.
Expanding on the proven performance of the highly-acclaimed Evo ‘24’ series platform, the Encore ‘44’ series features an array of exotic, performance technologies, including low-profile Prosound 6-spoke cast alloy frame, with fully CNC machined motor, and extended, Shaped-Manifold-Gap (“SMG”) compact / fully vented motor, resulting in the highest-power, longest excursion, slim-line subwoofer series on the market.
- Class-leading 1,000 W RMS power-handling plus 6 dB crest-factor of 4 Kw
- Massive, 3” Dual Voice Coil features proprietary ‘T-shaped’ magnetic gap.
- Custom tooled dual Aluminum “Shorting Rings” for very-low inductance
- Low-profile mounting depth of 4.9’ and 5.9” (4412 and 4415 respectively)
Rated at 1,000 watts RMS, the Encore series delivers remarkable 19 mm of one-way linear Xmax, offering the rare combination of low-resonant frequency, plus modest VAS, allows it to deliver this full-format excursion performance, but works optimally in verycompact sealed enclosures of .75 cf – 1.2 cf, as well as in modest size ported boxes, for high-output SPL applications.
The proprietary SMG (Shaped Manifold Gap) motor includes the proprietary “ICAR” Aluminum Intercooler technology, providing both a superior ‘thermal-transfer’ path, plus
provides additional convection cooling to the huge conduction ‘heatsink,’ by virtue of the Encore unique extended gap-plate. This dual mode cooling technology radically boosts the long-term power handling, and offers reduced power-compression, during high SPL.
In addition, the super-linear suspension features a premium, 25 mm tall, long-excursion surround, large diameter flat-spyder, featuring ‘integrated-lead’ wires, to allow in excess of 2-inches of peak-to-peak excursion, provided by unique, revolutionary motor design. This huge, powerful, proprietary motor design, results in a fully symmetrical magnetic field, delivering significantly reduced distortion, at all output levels.
Mobile Electronics® Sales Pro of the Year brings in-depth experience to the brand
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, May 24, 2022— SoundShield, an industry recognized premium sound deadening brand, announces Robert Kowatch joins the company as Sales Manager. Kowatch will be responsible for enhancing frequency of the company’s outreach to retailers as well as conduct sales training efforts to convey the merits of SoundShield products on the sales floor.
John Schwartz, CEO of SoundShield and Perfectionist Auto Sound said “Rob is currently our Sales Manager at Perfectionist. He and I discussed his interest in growing his career path so we both felt taking on the Sales Manager role at SoundShield was a great fit.” Kowatch will continue his duties at Perfectionist as the SoundShield sales training efforts and dealer outreach gets underway. These efforts will be over the phone, via Zoom, in-person store visits and, of course, trade shows such as the upcoming SEMA Show in November 2022.
Kowatch comes to the role with deep experience in sales, having started in the 12 Volt industry in 1998. He participated in various sales training platforms within that time and arrived at Perfectionist Auto Sound in 2015. What Kowatch said really got him dialed in with focus and intent for his process was his attending the Grant Cardone University for Sales Training courses. “It moved me off of being naturally a good sales person to actively building a client pipeline so that I was top-of-mind whenever people thought about audio, remote starter or other vehicle upgrades.” He has specific processes in place on presenting and selling noise control and sound deadening that will be the basis on which he builds SoundShield’s sales training efforts for their existing retail partners, as well as pursuing outreach strategies to new dealers.
To his credit, Kowatch’s hard work in the front end of a successful retail store garnered him top honors at the Mobile Electronics Awards earlier this year in Las Vegas, Nevada by winning Sales Pro of the Year. “Winning that award was an incredible honor” said Kowatch. He has since appeared on multiple industry podcasts and will be featured in an upcoming issue of Mobile Electronics Magazine. “This and all of his other ascents in the sales professional calling makes him an ideal fit for SoundShield’s Sales Manager” added SoundShield CEO Schwartz.
