STILLWATER, USA – KICKER® renews its support of mobile-audio competition with the sponsorship of the USACi World Finals, held this year at the J.S. Bridwell Event Center in Wichita Falls, Texas October 6-7. KICKER personnel will be on hand in the outrageous “Bam-Bam” Silverado® demo truck and assisting competitors as they strive for audio excellence.

More than 60 plaques and trophies will be awarded at the event, with the first-place plaques featuring the KICKER and marketing partner JY Power’s logos. First and second place will also receive rings, which will be engraved with the winner's name.

“We are thrilled to see car-stereo competition experiencing a resurgence,” said Kip Litsey, Associate Marketing Director for KICKER. “As the size of the crowds and competitors continue to grow, we are looking forward to supporting the sport we all love – now and in the future.”

USACi Executive Director Jenissa Lillard expects a sizeable turnout to the event, with the number of registrations having increased yearly. Both sound-quality and sound-pressure events will be held at the Finals, and a second competition would be held at the show.

“We do have an extra 3-point event with Finals going on called the ‘2019 Race for Points’,” Lillard said. “It’s a way for people to build up points for the new season that is open to everyone.”

As a bonus, USACi will give every Finals competitor a free raffle ticket to win prizes ranging from batteries to audio equipment and LCD TVs.

“It’s our way of saying thank you to the competitors who have supported us all year,” Lillard said.

STILLWATER, USA – KICKER® continues to support the competitive world of car audio as the presenting sponsor for the 2019 USACi World Finals, held this year at the Comanche County Fairgrounds in Lawton, Okla., September 20-22.

On Saturday, the KICKER booth will show off the KICKER SPL demo daily-driver, equipped with aftermarket KX-Series amplifiers, KS-Series coaxial speakers and six 15-inch KICKER subs. Representatives from KICKER global headquarters in Stillwater, Okla., and from KICKER’s local distribution partner, Marketing Pros (Houston, Texas), will be on hand to answer questions about product and the brand.

More than 60 plaques and trophies will be awarded at the event. First-place winners will also receive customized rings, which will be engraved with the winner's name and the KICKER logo.

In addition to the more than 300 competitors expected to compete at the Finals, USACi will run two separate competitions during the weekend: a “best demo” competition, plus an extra event for local competitors to start building their point totals for the 2020 season. The best demo competition is new to USACi, with independent judges assessing the cleanliness of the vehicle, the competitor’s friendliness, system knowledge and interaction with the public.

“We want car stereo to grow,” said Paul Galanos, USACi judge. “We feel a clean installation with a friendly, knowledgeable, engaged competitor helps attract new people to the sport, and to the industry.”
