October 26, 2018 -- Memphis Audio’s team has been prepping hard for their largest SEMA exhibition to date. In true Memphis fashion, Booth 11833 will be rocking and open for business in the North Hall of the LVCC. Memphis has invested heavily in the brand’s future with a new state-of-the art double decker trade show booth that will be debuted at the event. The Memphis booth will feature an impressive array of Memphis tower speakers and powersports solutions live on active demo. “We are 100% committed to the future of Memphis Audio, this construction of this new booth is part of our long-term plan for our company. It will maximize our room on the show floor at both SEMA, CES and other future events giving us the ability to treat our dealer partners to a great time while we conduct business,” said Nick LoMonaco VP of Memphis Audio.

The new two-story booth isn’t the only thing that will turn heads at the show. Booth 11833 will feature the hottest vehicle in the North Hall. Memphis will be unveiling a massive 4-seater stretched Polaris Slingshot dubbed the “SlingShaq.” The larger than life Polaris Slingshot is owned by Shaquille O’Neal who partnered up with Memphis Audio and Underground Auto Styling to bring this jaw dropping build to life. The vehicle will feature a custom Memphis system unlike anything that has ever rolled onto the show floor in the LVCC. The build consists of a massive 18 speaker sound system including four 8” Mojo Pro mids, six Street Reference Pro tweeters, eight MXA 6.5” RGBLED Speakers all of which are powered by three Memphis Audio VIV400.4 amplifiers. Memphis certainly didn’t forget about the bass managing to pack two Bass Reference 12” subwoofers inside the build powered by Memphis Audio’s DSP controlled VIV 700.1 amplifier.

“We did a Slingshot for Shaq a few months back here in Florida and he was really impressed with the build and the performance of the Memphis system that he asked for another vehicle to use when he was on the west coast. One really cool thing about this build is that all the speaker pods are production pieces made by UAS (United Auto Solutions) and designed specifically to fit Memphis Audio gear. This build looks totally custom but anyone with a Slingshot can buy these pods to give their slingshot a serious Memphis Audio audio upgrade,” said Jack Polubinski owner of Underground Auto Solutions.

Everyone loves shiny new booths, flashy cars and good fun but Memphis knows that dealers making the trek out to SEMA for the show care about the new products and solutions they need to maximize profitability at their stores. Memphis has them covered with over a dozen new products live on the show floor. “Traditionally we would roll out our new products at CES but our team has been working diligently to hit a target date of SEMA to bring our dealers some amazing new powersports solutions,” said LoMonaco.

Some noteworthy new products on display will include:

• 28” app controlled overhead soundbar with 4 6.5” speakers
• “Headless unit” app controlled Bluetooth source unit
• 6.5” and 8” Compression horn tower speakers
• 6.5” coaxial tower speaker
• 6.5” powersports pods
• 10” and 12” MXA Subwoofers
• Bluetooth knock out controller
• MXA TOP roof audio solutions for side-by-sides

The Memphis Audio booth at SEMA will primarily focus on powersports solutions but that doesn’t mean they put the brakes on car audio solutions. Memphis dealers will see an influx of Memphis car audio solutions debuting in a few short month at CES 2019 in January so stay tuned!

Memphis will have swag and show specials available for attendees of SEMA 2018 and looks forward to seeing you at booth 11833 in the North Hall of the LVCC.

TEMPE, Ariz. – July 26, 2016 – Rockford Fosgate, has announced that it has partnered with Polaris® to be the exclusive OEM speaker provider for its 2017 Slingshot® SL and SLR moto-roadster lineup. Available in dealerships this August, the 2017 Slingshot is equipped with a Rockford Fosgate four-speaker sound system.

“With the ever growing popularity of motorsports recreation, whether it’s on road motorcycles or off-road side-x-side and UTVs, Rockford Fosgate has focused on delivering products that are designed to perform while out in the elements,” stated Bill Jackson, Rockford president and CEO. “That’s why our relationship with Polaris makes sense. Polaris is founded on fueling the passion of riders, workers, and outdoor enthusiasts and the team here at Rockford Fosgate prides itself on delivering the best audio experience in every type of vehicle. Our systems are high performance and built to last, no matter where you ride. We are proud to work with Polaris and to provide the music experience in the new 2017 Slingshot.”

The Rockford Fosgate speaker system includes four 6.5-inch, 2-way, Element Ready® drivers, each featuring a neodymium motor structure purpose built for the high output requirements of this application.

“At Rockford, we’re all about enhancing the riding experience for everyone who wants to get out and have fun with their vehicles,” explained Jake Braaten, Rockford V.P. of product development and engineering. “But this project posed an interesting challenge with the unique design of the Slingshot and its open air cockpit. We worked closely with the teams at Polaris to seamlessly integrate our audio without interfering with the overall vehicle’s design intent and performance. At the end of the day, we believe drivers will be exhilarated by the premium Rockford Fosgate audio system in the 2017 Slingshot SL & SLR.”

The Rockford Fosgate design team optimized the 6.5-inch speakers and each enclosure to deliver a premium sound experience without wasting cabin space or adding unnecessary weight to the vehicle. The speaker’s high efficiency and high output were designed to overcome the road and wind noise from the Slingshot’s unique open cockpit.

According to Polaris, its 2017 Slingshot SL & SLR models include an expanded line-up of accessories focused on rider comfort and customization, and that’s where Rockford Fosgate comes in.

“Slingshot’s new 2017 line-up takes the vehicle to the next level,” said Steve Menneto, President of Polaris Motorcycles. “With the new SLR, premium upgrades on the SL and 31 new accessories, including Rockford Fosgate speakers, we are giving our customers more ways to personalize their experience and make Slingshot their own. Slingshot remains committed to redefining the on-road driving experience and I encourage everyone to get out and test ride the 2017 line-up today.”
