LIBERTYVILLE, IL (06.25.25) – Maxxsonics has announced the launch of a new business and sales strategy designed to protect the integrity of its brands, uphold the trust of its customers, and reinforce its commitment to authorized sales channels.

Speaking to the customers we can always let them know about a nearby dealer that they could go see to add audio products to the ride. On the trailer we actually have competitive products so we can A/B the JBL and Infinity speakers to show how they stand out delivering clean loud sound.”
