DIAMOND BAR, CA (12.18.24) – The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) today expressed its appreciation of the Supreme Court of the United States for granting a writ of certiorari for a critical question in the case of Diamond Alternative Energy LLC v. EPA, which SEMA requested earlier this year via an amicus brief. In granting the writ, the court agreed to decide the important question whether some business interests and trade organizations, including members of the automotive aftermarket, have standing to make a legal claim that California’s Clean Air Act waiver allows the state to set rules that reduce demand for their products.
The court agreed to hear an appeal of a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit holding that the plaintiffs did not have a legal right to challenge the waiver.
Specifically, the case stems from a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals panel’s prior dismissal of a challenge to electric vehicle (EV) mandates on grounds that the plaintiffs lacked standing. To sue in federal courts, there needs to be a concrete injury because of a defendant’s actions. If the Supreme Court rules that the plaintiffs have standing, the D.C. Circuit would have to address the merits (i.e., whether the Environmental Protection Agency can let California regulate automotive carbon dioxide emissions). This is a fortuitous question, given President Joe Biden’s anticipated extension of California’s waiver through 2035.
The court declined to hear a challenge to the legality of the waiver itself.
SEMA’s amicus brief, filed in August, argued that California’s non-technology-neutral regulation that limits sales of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles will have a devastating impact on the automotive aftermarket industry, effectively killing, rather than fostering innovation that can help produce cleaner, safer automobiles.
“SEMA is pleased that the nation’s highest court acknowledges the significant public interest in the question raised in Diamond Alternative Energy LLC v. EPA: that California is wrong to pursue internal combustion engine bans, and that lower courts who have affirmed the state’s ability to do so in fact ruled in error,” said SEMA President and CEO Mike Spagnola. “SEMA looks forward to the Supreme Court’s full review of this matter and is confident that justice will prevail on behalf of American innovation and ingenuity.”
SEMA, as an organization, champions a technology-neutral approach that fosters innovation and ingenuity and will continue its efforts to preserve Americans’ rights to vehicle choice and the automotive aftermarket industry’s ability to design, manufacture, and bring to market products that help solve the carbon emissions challenge.
FOLSOM, PA (12.17.24) – The Third Annual Sound of Tri-State event to support the Sassy Massey Toy Drive in Folsom PA featured Santa and more in the store on Saturday December 14th. The turnout was even larger than 2023.
Santa welcomed these young ladies out front of the store.
The showroom was packed with customers who had made donations and were checking out specials.
Mike Fusto, Store Manager, related, “We stepped up our game again this year and it turned out to be a much bigger turnout than last year. Days ago we positioned a 15’x10’ container with large Toy Drop Off Bin signage to attract people wanting to support the Christmas giving effort. There were 20 local businesses highlighted on the signage that participated in the Toy Drive and all directed friends and social media followers to drop off toys in the bin. A friend has a storage company and he will make deliverers of the Drop Off Bin filled with toys to the Sassy Massey collection location when each bin is full. The Christmas Air Dancer on top of the building drew even more attention. There will definitely be more trips to drop off toys for 17 hospitals this year than last.”
Santa met with these youngsters to make sure everything was on their Christmas list.
Santa and the Grinch invited more people to drop off toys.
Continuing, Fusto offered, “Saturday, December 14th, was the day we promoted the toy drive heavy here at the store. The showroom was decorated with ribbons and Christmas ornaments. Special Holiday price tags too. We offered a 20% discount to all who brought and donated toys for the Sassy Massey Toy Drive. The Saturday event was family friendly with Holiday music. In addition there were police and fire company vehicles showcased on site plus motorcycle and car demos happened in the parking lot.”
Soon this load will go to the Sassy Massey drop off location.
Santa and the Grinch invited more people to drop off toys in the truck.
“The activity in the showroom was definitely very busy and the hot seller for the day were remote starter gift certificates. That way the right model could be selected by the customer for their vehicle and it spread out the installation time and days in the bays. Several customers commented they also donated toys last year and thanked Sound of Tri-State for getting behind this very thoughtful community activity. We took notes to make the 2025 Sassy Massey Toy Drive even larger’ Fusto concluded.
Another image from Mike Fusto showing action in the showroom.
Certainly very positive to see the community building activities from Sound of Tri-State Team in Folsom, PA.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (12.17.24) – DD AUDIO is proud to introduce the VO-MBTN125. The Voice Optimized B1 (1 inch bullet tweeter) entered its fourth generation of development with another exercise in downsize engineering. The result of this successful endeavor is the all new VO-MBTN125 Micro Bullet Tweeter Neo and it comes to you as a full-on compression driver, similar in size to a radiating dome tweeter, with flush mountability, bridging the output and clarity of pro audio with the practicality of OEM design.
This journey began 10 years ago when DD introduced the B1 ferrite motor tweeter to high output VO builds. With system designers asking for a more compact unit, the second generation of the VO-B1 moved to a Neo motor for improved versatility. The third generation brought with it a reduced outer diameter, past the inner throat profile, allowing the compression driver to be mounted as a true coaxial on the VO-XN6.5 for a powerful new combo driver. With this new fourth generation, DD has retained the inner throat of the horn profile for high efficiency, and re-engineered the outer structure to the smallest possible diameter.
With a total diameter of 45mm across and a total depth of 34mm, the VO-MBTN125 is clearly compact, but there’s more than just size contributing to its overall versatility. The new cast aluminum horn tooling incorporates a removable flange and grip ring that facilitates conventional door panel mounting. A threaded bolt hole is included on the back for rear support. The low profile design has been made for use with OEM grills and off the shelf adapter plates, widening the application potential to dashboards, A / B pillar mounting, and soundbar locations previously restricted to lower-power dome tweeters.
The Voice Optimized Micro Bullet Neo Tweeter was envisioned, designed and tooled by DD AUDIO to give installers more options and listeners greater satisfaction. This innovation is one of many additions to DD’s VO Series, expanding the power and application of these legendary pro audio speakers, and it won’t be the last. Check out the tweeters, coaxials, full-range, mids, mid-woofers, and woofers added in 2024 and look for more to come in 2025.

The enthusiasts walked the track and met riders during the PitParty before the action on the track.
Lorin Morrell is flanked by Byll (L) and Zack Thies by the KICKER booth Friday night.
Zach related. “We connected with so many people and handed out over 200 cards in addition to giving away many lanyards and more. Hundreds and hundreds of enthusiasts passed by the KICKER booth and we had serious time with a coupe dozen folks. Sound Hound Stereo is celebrating our 29th Anniversary this year and several people we saw at the booth were friends and happy customers. KICKER is a go to brand in our store. In fact we have one wall in the showroom which is decorated for the Holidays that highlights many KICKER products and a marine display. Auto, truck, marine and motorsports products are all hot categories in Idaho and KICKER has products in all those categories… Bullfrog portables too. We thank KICKER for inviting us participate in this AMA ArenaCross and look forward to the next opportunity.”

Morrell, who orchestrates KICKER’s activities at the AMA ArenaCross events, added, “No doubt all that came to the event had a great time and certainly connected with the KICKER brand and the Sound Hound Stereo team. On Friday and Saturday nights there were T-shirt tosses and lucky winners came to the booth with their Bullfrog certificate to pickup their Bullfrog prize. The PA announcer at the AMA ArenaCross events once again did a great job adding excitement for KICKER and encouraging all to visit the booth in the lobby.”
The next stop for the 2025 KICKER AMA ArenaCross series is in Loveland CO the weekend of January 3rd and 4th.

The 8 members of the Audio Midwest teams arrived and actually brought dinner for all to enjoy as they were spending time at the KICKER HQ.
Clason offered “It was a terrific evening that lasted to right at 11 PM.
