Alpine Attended The 12th Annual Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Club invasion

PIGEON FORGE, TN (08.30.24) – The Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Club Invasion took place at the LaConte Center in Pigeon Forge, TN from Thursday, August 22nd to Saturday, August 24th. This was the third time that Alpine attended the event offering the latest dash and audio solutions designed specifically for the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator drivers.

“We had a very successful event at the 2024 Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Club Invasion once again due to our strong relationship with Tampa-based Alpine authorized retailer Soundwaves Tampa and Alpine authorized fulfillment partner, DOW Technologies” Allison Saunders, Marketing Supervisor Brand, stated.

*The Alpine presence was strong with displays, demo vehicles and on-site installations.*

*Alpine products stacked early in the day for installations scheduled for the day.*

Continuing, “While we were setting up for the event on Wednesday, we already had customers coming to our booth, asking to purchase a product so they could be first install on Thursday morning. From the start on Thursday, until the end of the event on Saturday, there was never a moment that our installation bays were not full. Our amazing Soundwaves of Tampa has it down to a science now The Soundwaves of Tampa Team deeply understand Alpine Jeep products, the Jeep itself and the needs of the Jeep customer. They went above and beyond to assure that every customer drove away with a smile on their face.”

The Soundwaves Tampa crew was very busy with installations throughout the event.

Concluding “This was our third time at the event and our customers always make sure to stop by. We even saw a handful of customers from last year and the prior event who updated their radio and now wanted to upgrade their sound system. Overall, it was a very successful event and we look forward to attending next year with our same partners” Saunders related.

*The amazing Alpine “Switchback” 2020 Jeep Gladiator showcased a custom truck bed build that featured 40 motorized Bluetooth speakers that activated for optimum sound positioning.*

A 2018 Jeep Wrangler demo vehicle was on site featuring the i509-WRA-JL with a 9-inch weather-resistant digital media receiver with Hi-Res audio playback. This unit was intentionally designed with a Jeep driver in mind to visually emulate the design identity of the Jeep interior and retain the features Jeep drivers use the most.

Alpine’s 2015 Jeep Wrangler was also on site with similar Jeep specific solutions designed for the older Jeep wranglers. The Alpine show vehicle “Switchback” is a 2020 Jeep Gladiator that showcased a custom truck bed build that featured 40 motorized Bluetooth speakers that articulated for optimum sound positioning.
