SHREVEPORT LA (12.02.25) The Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday Trifecta wrapped the Thanksgiving Holiday season 2025 and kicked off December. Reports are Black Friday online sales approached a 10% increase over 2024.

Santa‘s Sleigh passing Ricky Smith’s Audio in the South College Center in Lafayette, LA on Saturday.

Many proactive companies across the 12volt industry made social media posts to put their messages, names and brands in front of consumers and followers to compete with all the online activity driven by Amazon, Walmart, Target and other big box retailers.

Ken’s AV made this post to let followers in Macon GA know they were open with Small Business Saturday specials.

An interesting statistic revealed orders placed by smartphones were over 60% of the total which is an expanding increase over previous years. Overall activity for Black Friday with 12volt retailers appears to be down slightly over 2024.

A notable exception again was Outrageous Audio in Portland OR as customers were lined up outside on the cold Friday morning at 4 AM to get into the store to grab deals. Blaine Hartleb and his 9 member team did a great job setting up for the event and through the day between 400 and 500 customers were in the store loading up with Black Friday deals. The Team from The Crossover Marketing rep firm was on site through the day with Rob and Sam Sutton along with Paul and Luke Pilat.

Car Toys Tulsa reminded followers Winter is on the way and time to add a remote start system!
At the Outrageous Audio Black Friday event customers were two and three deep at the counter.

Small Business Saturday activity in general with 12volt retailers appeared to be an average Saturday. Cyber Monday numbers are not in yet in the books.

Vic Moolchandani made this Avenue Sound December new hours post for followers in the Big Apple.

Now the 12volt industry needs to get rolling in December. We wish all across the 12volt industry strong December Sales and a Happy Holiday season as we all work to finish 2025 on a high note.

Jeanna and Dan Nezbeth, Advanced Custom Sound in Warren OH, made this post to show followers how easy it could be choose the perfect Christmas gift.

PRXE12SFT & PRXE12DFT — Power Reference Enclosures NOW WITH LEDS & More Power!

Posted on by in Industry News.

MEMPHIS TN  (12.03.25) – The all-new PRX Enclosures from Memphis are turning heads with a complete visual and performance overhaul. The new PRXE12SFT single 12” and PRXE12DFT dual 12” enclosures bring serious output, cleaner sound, and one of the coolest looks ever seen in the Power Reference lineup.

PRXE12DFT

The first thing you’ll notice is the new LED-illuminated Power Reference subwoofers—they light up with a vibrant glow that looks as good as it sounds. The new flared front-firing port features a Memphis logo badge illuminated in matching LED light, adding a custom high-end appearance straight out of the box. The enclosures are finished in a sleek black and gray two-tone carpet that perfectly complements the updated woofers for a clean, factory-custom vibe.

PRXE12DFT

Beyond the looks, these enclosures deliver real performance. The single 12” enclosure packs 500W RMS / 1000W peak, while the dual 12” enclosure doubles that with 1000W RMS / 2000W peak. The redesigned plastic port flare isn’t just for show—it improves airflow, eliminates vent noise, and keeps tuning stable even at high output. That means tight, deep bass that stays clean no matter how hard you push it.

Memphis’ FLEX Selectable Impedance Technology gives installers total control, with the single 12” enclosure configurable to 1Ω, 2Ω, or 4Ω, and the dual enclosure to 0.5Ω, 1Ω, or 2Ω—perfect for matching any amplifier setup.

PRXE12SFT

“These new PRX enclosures look absolutely killer,” said Nick LoMonaco, President of Memphis Audio. “The LED woofers and glowing Memphis logo give them that full custom feel, and the new port flare makes them sound as good as they look. Plus, everyone knows LED lighting adds at least 3–6 dB of output—it’s science.”

Posted on by in Featured.

PORTLAND OR (12.01.25) The Outrageous Audio name says it all about the company’s 2025 Black Friday Sale on Friday, November 28th, at the company’s Portland OR store. Customers started lining up before 3AM in the below freezing temperature. When the doors opened at 5AM Owner Blane Hartleb welcomed the first in line, Luke, who had actually camped out since 11PM Thursday night. Luke was the first of hundreds as the line wrapped the building. Luke was also the first in line in 2024.

Customers and vehicles wrapped the store as Blane Hartleb welcomed Luke, the first customer in line, when the doors opened.

“We have been having Black Friday events for over two decades. This event was definitely in the top two or three. After we run the sales totals it will be up there again. Our team did a great job getting everything ready and it paid off…. BIG TIME. The support we received from Rob Sutton and the Crossover Marketing crew in the house was very much appreciated” Hartleb related.

The Crossover Marketing team Rob Sutton, Paul Pilat and Luke Pilat R/L upfront when the doors open.

Early Black Friday morning the 12volt Central Studios received 2 txts from Rob with groups of images from the early morning action. Crossover Marketing crew members Rob and Sam Sutton, along with Paul Pilat and Luke Pilat, were on site working the event with the 9 member Outrageous Audio team.

The entire Outrageous Audio crew gathered for an image before the doors opened.

“Once again Rob was at the door and store was packed at 6AM and customers were still lined up outside plus the parking lot was jammed well into the morning” Hartled related. Our crew was busy writing big tickets with CarPlay products plus amps, speakers, woofer and speaker boxes. The installation bays were soon full as they were past dark” Hartled added.

The sales counter was 2 and 3 deep has customers paid for their products.

There were months of planning that contributed to this Outrageously successful event. Sutton and the crew left the Battle Ground WA area at 3:45AM for the 30 mile drive to Portland for a 4:30AM arrival before the doors opened at 5AM. The menu for the long day was planned in advance with the installers and sales staff bringing something to share. Installers brought full crockpots and grill outside was sizzling and smoking all day.”

This customer will be ‘Livin’Loud’ with his KICKER gear that Luke Pilat is helping him carry to his car.

The very successful event was slated to wrap at 7PM. But with all large successful events there were customers completing the sales process and installers were finishing installations that filled the bays all day well past 7PM.

A few of the full crockpots ready for team members to enjoy throughout the long day.

The Outrageous Black Friday 2025 truly showcased 12volt industry members working together. Vendors and Crossover Marketing worked with a very proactive specialty retailer to connect with consumers to drive business and enjoyment for those consumers.

Even Blane Hartleb was entering sales orders at the counter. Another great Rob Sutton image.
