MORTON GROVE, IL (05.24.24) – The House of Electronics 2024 Dealer Show took place at the company’s Morton Grove facility on Tuesday May 21st. A massive 5,000 sq ft tent was anchored in the parking area with vendor tables and booths arranged throughout the space. Lights were in place as the event started at 6pm with the Sound Off Competitions on the grounds starting at 7pm. There were 2 SPL contests… one for motorcycles and the other for vehicles. 4 foot trophies with $250. prizes await the winners. Show cars from the dealers, vendors and consumers in the area were showcased too. The Dealer Show started to wrap a bit early with all the weather alerts.
Teg Manchanda related “We had a great turnout for our show despite the severe weather in the area. By night’s end we had 52 dealers attend with about 20 cancellations due to the weather. Slingshots and Vanderhalls don’t travel well in the rain. We had mouth-watering fresh street tacos made to order.like last year. Over 25 reps represented more than 40 vendors set up under the tent banquet style and showcased the latest in their lines. The show included over 100 items with super show special prices. Some brands, including KICKER, Pioneer, Maxxsonics, Metra, Reikken, Sundown Audio, Atrend, Race Sport Lighting, BOSS Audio, ZAPCO, Alphasonik, Orion, Magnadyne and more showed their latest. We are working to make our 2024 show even more exciting for area dealers and our vendor partners. When the show wrapped we felt it was very successful for all.”
The extra special attraction at the show was the absolutely amazing Limo Jet. The Lima Jet has the body of a Jet but rolled into the show on wheels. A totally custom interior features plush seating, sound system and video. Dealers were able to take a seat in the Limo Jet at the House of Electronics Show for an ultimate experience they will talk about for years..
Tom Ebeling, KICKER area representative, showed a wide variety of KICKER’s car, truck, marine, motorcycle and Powersports products. On the table at the show he spotlighted a 4 model KICKER speaker promo package special put together for the show.
Race Sport Lighting rolled in with a Jeep Gladiator to showcase the company’s latest lighting products with Ignacio Ayala connecting with dealers.
Jason Prios, new onboard at Magnadyne as Product Development and Training Manager, related “This was my first House of Electronics show. It was definitely a very good show and turnout was strong in spite of the weather. Talking with tech sales guys, not just owners, was great as businesses brought their staffs. Our new 68SL alarm/remote grabbed attention with the 1 mile range and built-in tilt and shock sensor with programming mode it is able to work with all major interface modules.”
“Metra lit up the night at the House of Electronics Dealer Show and Sound Off Competition with a focus on Heise RGB/ Chasing accent lighting. Derek Masters’ Chevy Silverado from Flynn Audio really stood out. We certainly thank Teg and the Team at House of Electronics for hosting the event and allowing Metra to showcase our products” Rick Vanway stated.
Mike Merryfield, Pioneer In-House Pioneer Rep for the Midwest, offered “The House of Electronics Show was absolutely amazing. I talked with dealers about Pioneer Head Units, Amps, Speakers, and Subs. All dealers were excited and ready to buy. Two new Pioneer models shipping in June will provide upgraded sound quality and easier use with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.”
“Once again we would like to thank all of our partners for supporting and attending show. Catching up in person with vendors and reps is always terrific. Being able to bring them together with dealers in our territory is truly special as we all work together to grow business and drive business” Manchanda concluded.
