Happy Thanksgiving 2025

SHREVEPORT LA (11.26.25) Happy Thanksgiving 2025 to all across the 12volt industry from the 12volt Central Studios.

It goes without saying that 2025 has been another one of the craziest years since the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Festival meal in 1621.

OK, we’re past daylight savings time, Halloween and the election season and now it’s Thanksgiving 2025. Now we can look forward to December Holidays and New Year’s Eve and 2026.

Overall, we in the 12volt industry have fared somewhat better than many industries and businesses. That said, there are still significant challenges ahead. Continuing tariffs, rising prices plus the online and AI push to name a few muddy the water.

Let’s all remain positive for successful Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday events as we work to finish November 2025 on a high note and roll into December.

A very Happy Thanksgiving and 2025 Holiday season to all from the 12volt Central Studios.

Thom Balistrieri Was Very Busy At SEMA 2025 With SPAL And The LED FOOT Band.

LAS VEGAS NV (11.25.25) SPAL had a very active booth upfront in the Central Hall with a very attractive towering exhibit plus all the interest in the unveiling of a fully custom 1969 Ford Mustang designed by the renowned Sean Smith and built by the expert craftsman at Vinny’s Hot Rod Shop. The vehicle was valued at $800,000.

At SEMA 2025 there was a crowd checking out the ‘69 Mustang in the SPAL booth.

“Thom Balistrieri, Director Aftermarket Sales, stated “Many 12volt retailers utilize SPAL door poppers and fans for hot rods and muscle cars jobs. SPAL made and shipped over 8 million fans last year. Many 12volt retailers visited the SPAL booth to see the possibilities of working on muscle cars….and of course to see the 1969 Mustang.”

On Thursday night, November 6th, the legendary industry band LED FOOT Band took the stage for a one night only performance at the Westgate Hotel Bar. Tom Balistrieri played the guitar and contributed vocals as the band played on stage before a full house.

Tom Balistreri and the LED FOOT Band live on stage at the WestGate

The LED FOOT Band is also known for inviting fellow industry professionals to sit-in on stage which has often sparked incredible surprise performances. The band has been bringing the automotive aftermarket together for nearly 3 decades to rock, hang out and reconnect. During their performance, there was also merchandise available for sale to support a children’s charity across the country. LED FOOT has also performed for industry friends selling T-shirts and has donated by PWA to raise money for the SEMA Scholarship fund and later SEMA Cares.

“The SEMA Show 2025 was certainly an event to be remembered. Being on the floor in the Central Hall was an opportunity to drive business for SPAL. Being on stage at the Westgate will be something the band members and I will remember for rest of my years. Already looking forward to SEMA 2026” Balistrieri concluded.

PowerBass On The Road Working With Distributors SSR and Shiflet Dickson

ONTARIO CA (11.25.25) The recent SSR show in Houston on, Sunday November 16, was an amazing event. John Driscoll, PowerBass Western Regional, flew in and worked the event in the booth along with area rep Jimmy Bradfield with Momentum Marketing.

“There was a great turnout for the show in Houston and we had excellent responses to OE Speaker solutions and our PBM amp and Pro Coaxial offerings. We had an active display showing what the combination of products can really do.”

Driscoll and Bradford then headed to Dallas to hold a training for the SSR team at the Dallas branch with dealer stops along the way. Driscoll related “The training went very well with Tracy Farr and the team in Dallas. The PowerBass lineup of products is so broad. There are many opportunities for 12volt retailers to drive profitable business in their stores. The key is all working together to let consumers know the possibilities” Driscoll stated.

The live PowerBass display at the SSR Show provided great demos.

Jeff Falk, National Sales Manager, traveled to Gastonia NC to host a product training for the Shiflet and Dickson staff on Wednesday, November 19th. Lisa Cook, Andy Scheid, Billie Thornton and Dave Maxon were in the conference room.

John Driscoll going over the PowerBass lined up at the SSR training in Dallas.

David Holland, Shiflet and Dickson GM offered” Our team was very excited to hear more about the new PowerBass PDM Amplifiers, the new PBX 1 Subs and the new PBX PRO speakers with compression tweeters. In addition, we have a special offer for dealers purchasing Sound bars for a counter display. A counter display is also available with the purchase of 6 BT200s for a countertop display. There are many exciting things rolling out at Power Bass!”

Jimmy Bradfield, Momentum Marketing, getting set for a product specific training.

Erik Harbour, PowerBass VP related, “Working in-person with our distributor partners and reps is so important to communicate information about our new products and programs  it’s a big win-win. Working with our distributors and encouraging them to work closely with dealers in their territory is a key to driving business to let consumers know exactly what products are available. Stay tuned for much more as 2026 is on the horizon!”

The Team Nutz Crew Returned To Vegas For SEMA 2025 In Force

LAS VEGAS NV/PITTSBURG PA (11.21.25) The Team Nutz crew of 9 departed Pittsburgh the weekend before the SEMA show started on November 4. Each of the team members had a very detailed plan for SEMA 2025. Team Nutz crew members included Ed and Nina Nuttall, Jeff Beaman, Jeff John, Tammie Hahn, Scott Olbeter, Arielle Wiener, Joe Taddy and Austin Taddy.

Over the weekend some team members enjoyed time at the local top golf and they were able to see an amazing show at the  amazing Las Vegas Sphere. The weekend was not all fun however as they spent time putting the custom decals with QR code for the Do It Yourself operation on the rental van. Prior to leaving Pittsburgh the custom decals were created and sent to Vegas.

On Monday, the day before SEMA began, members of the team toured Las Vegas car shops to see exciting builds and showrooms. Some time was also spent downtown on Fremont Street.

SEMA Day 1 was very busy as members of the team split up to check out the West Hall, the Central Hall and the South Hall in addition to outside activities. There were a lot of good meetings and working with manufacturers to connect with their dealer locators… all with an intent to drive traffic into the Pittsburgh store. All working together is the key to drive traffic into the Team Nutz location.

Day 2 was spent in the North hall. Day 3 was spent circling back for appointments made from days 1 and 2. Day 4 was open to the public day and that created a different look and feel on the SEMA floor. The attendance seemed to be somewhat down that day as attendees were required to present paid pay stubs for tickets to get into the event.

A little fun Sunday time at Topgolf.

The team was able to pack up and fly out on time Saturday. However there was much concern about being able to get out with all of the airport delays related to the shutdown.

The Team Nutz Crew loaded in the van for the Streets of Vegas. Ed and Nina on the left.

On the flight back to Pittsburgh Ed Nuttall was reviewing the trip to SEMA and gave a show an overall 11 rating. He indicated he and the crew accomplished all of their goals on meetings with vendors and asking to be on dealer locators which was very successful. Seeing new products and trends plus in-person meetings contributed to the 11 rating.

During the trip back Nuttall was able to review and track the response they had from the Custom QR code on the van that was driving around the streets of Vegas along with being parked out front of a bagel shop close to the LVCC. Over 2000 scans were reported along with multiple sales.

The weather was great at SEMA 2025 and the activity was very busy at all walked throughout the LVCC.

Driving business in Pittsburg, while driving the streets of Vegas, MAX’ed the ROI from SEMA 2025!
