Posted on by in Featured.

OCEAN CITY, MD (08.29.22) – KICKER returned as the title sponsor of Ocean City Jeep Week, held August 25-28 2022, at the Ocean City Convention Center and trails around the Ocean City area.

KICKER’s XRV (Xtreme Recreational Vehicle) made the 1400 mile trek to OC Jeep Week and set up in front of the Convention Center entrance. The 82-foot big rig is a rolling showroom, that displayed the full line of KICKER audio products for UTV, motorcycle, marine and auto. The XRV’s upgraded Boom Room is larger, louder and built to withstand the torture emanating from 40,000 watts of power driving the wall of 15” L7 subwoofers.

The KICKER XRV, with the 717 kickinjeeprod, were magnets for enthusiasts at OC Jeep Week.

Jermey Wynn, KICKER Events and Promotions Manager, was behind the XRV Wheel with Co-Pilot Josh Alexander. Matt Matheson, KICKER Eastern Regional, Training Specialist Ken Bundy and tech-savvy Carlos Jimenez traveled from KICKER HQ to work the event.

Opus Marketing, KICKER Rep Firm in the area, worked the event with product sales and logistic support. Jamie White’s Opus Marketing Team on site included White, Bruno Berg and Todd Ess.

The KICKER setup stretched the length of a football field at OC Jeep Week.
The Audio Works of Delaware crew was busy from the opening bell making installs underneath the lineup of KICKER  tents.

Next to the XRV, authorized KICKER dealer Audio Works (Newark DE) installed audio systems on-site for the entire show. Audio Works offered several KICKER packages made especially for Jeeps. Owner Darren Thomas, with members of his sales and installation team, had Jeep installations going under KICKER tents throughout the event. At OC JEEP Week the Audio Works of Deleware team scheduled numerous appoints for jobs at their Newark DE store that is 90 miles from Atlantic City.

A special attraction this year was the presence of the amazing 717 Car Audio kickinjeeprod. Stephanie Stryjwski and Jeremy Lease trailered the totally custom project to OC Jeep Week from their Mounteville PA store. The lowered and stretched kickinjeeprod definitely is Livin’Loud and was a huge draw for picture takers and enthusiasts at OC Jeep Week.

White related “We look forward to this event every year. It’s especially special when our friends KICKER can make it out and even more fun when they bring the impressive XRV to OC JEEP Week. The weather was terrific this year. Even though we are all sunburned, tired and worn out we all left Ocean City with one of our best event experiences.”

Continuing White stated “KICKER coming to OC Jeep Week MD has become a destination for Jeep enthusiasts. It’s unbelievable how many enthusiasts look forward to getting KICKER products installed on-site each year. To show the enthusiasm for KICKER this year 2 of the KICKER enthusiasts had KICKER on their state license plates: LIVIN LD on a Pennsylvania plate and KICKER on a Delaware plate.

Just prior to press time Jeremy Wynn sent a txt at a stop in Efingham IL on the way back to Stillwater. “OC Jeep Week was absolutely a great event with a strong turnout of participants and spectators. Audio Works had a terrific event with sales and onsite installations. We will get back on the road to Stillwater tomorrow” Wynn txt’ed.

After the XRV pack-up and loading was completed Saturday night the KICKER and Opus Marketing teams gathered for an image. Right to left Matt Matheson, Jeremy Wynn, Josh Alexander, Jamie White, Ken Bundy, Todd Ess, Carlos Jimenez, Evan D’Ambrosia and Bruno Berg.

OC Jeep Week had a nonstop event schedule plan for every day of the show, that began with 300 Jeepers cruising the Ocean City sand at the Beach Crawl. The Jeep Jam trail and obstacle course were daily attractions, as was a Kids Zone, live DJ, vendors row and more.
