Eleven Engineering Names Ukrainian Refugee Families to Receive May 2023 Web Profits

Posted on by in Industry and tagged .

EDMONTON, ALBERTA (06.16.23) – Eleven Engineering, Inc. (elevenengineering.com), a market leader in semiconductor products for wireless audio for professional, home theater, multi-room, portable, 12 Volt (car, truck, motorcycle, power sports, marine) and gaming applications, has announced the two Ukrainian refugee families that will receive the company’s May 2023 profits from its SKAAstore.com. For the second year in a row, the company is helping support Ukrainian families in dire need of assistance during the continued crisis with Russia who are actively working to protect their country.

“As this unnecessary war drags on, the team at SKAA made a commitment to once again support more families that have been affected by Putin’s war in Ukraine in 2023,” said John Sobota, Eleven Engineering CEO. “May 2023 was a record sales month for SKAAstore.com, which means we will provide even greater benefits where it is needed the most. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank our customers for stepping up and helping Eleven Engineering donate this much needed monetary aid, which is the equivalent of the costs for a year’s rent and other family necessities in hopes that the money helps ease any financial burdens on them while they endure and fight for their country’s freedom and independence.”

This year, Eleven Engineering is donating its May SKAAstore.com profits to the Prykhodko family, which consists of father Ruslan, mother Yuliia, and children Dmytro (16) and Daniil (10). The family was displaced by Russian missile bombardments close to home, and Ruslan lost his income since the war began while Yuliia works remotely as the only source of family income.

Also receiving this year’s monetary aid is the Petrunko family, who received Eleven Engineering’s donations last year, as well. The family of four also has first-hand experience with the horrors that come with war. Relocated a number of times since the war began, their home was damaged by shelling, they were forced to flee their occupied village near Kherson. Their escape was harrowing, but the family remained safe thanks to the heroic actions of the father, Viktor. Meanwhile the mother, Kristina, is a member of the Ukrainian armed forces, working every day to fight back against Putin’s onslaught.

“We salute both the Russian people who believe using their country’s military might to shell the homes of children is diabolical, as well as those who risk their lives to protest and resist Putin inside Russia,” Sobota continued. “We hope that our continued small gestures will help Ukrainian families persist with hope and determination as they continue in their noble causes. Thank you to those who fight the good fight.”

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, home to Eleven Engineering’s headquarters, has the largest Ukrainian population of any Canadian city. “And this fact really hits home for us,” Sobota said. “We still challenge other Canadian-based companies to consider stepping up and helping those in Ukraine and the refugees that have fled in any way that they can,” Sobota concluded. “We all need to help because that’s what Canadians do.”

Eleven Engineering invites everyone to share their first-hand stories of heroes from this conflict on its social media platforms.

The 2023 Rumble And Roll Was Another Successful Event for Car Toys Tulsa

Posted on by in Featured and tagged .

TULSA, OK (06.14.23) – The 2023 Rumble and Roll, supporting the Make a Wish Foundation, was a huge success on Thursday, June 8th. Well over 2000 motorcycle enthusiasts rolled through the streets of Tulsa to gather in the Brookside area.

Bikers gathered outside Churchill’s after their Rumble and Roll ride through Tulsa.
The Brookside Center was filled with enthusiasts.

Charles Stewart, Car Toys Tulsa owner related, “We were an Event Sponsor and had a major presence in front of Churchill’s in the Brookside area of Tulsa which was the destination for the bikers. Bikers assembled at the University of Tulsa Reynolds Center and paraded down Peoria street. Through the years the Rumble and Roll event has raised nearly over $400,000 for the Oklahoma Make A Wish Foundation.”

In front of Churchill’s, Car Toys had a large tent set up with 2 bikes for demos plus a table spotlighting Rockford Fosgate products designed for bikes.

The streets were blocked off for the Rumble and Roll crowd.
Car Toys Tulsa staff members connected with bikers.

“Our bike business continues to grow. Putting the Car Toys Tulsa name, along with the Rockford Fosgate brand, in front of so many bikers during the 20th Annual Rumble and Roll was amazing. The 3 hours at the event was non-stop. We gave a ton of demos, sold products, provided quotes and set up installations. In the first days after the event we did several jobs in our bay at the store. The average ticket was right at $2K each” Stewart added.

Rockford Fosgate is a strong brand for bikes at Car Toys Tulsa and was featured at Rumble and Roll.
Bikers enjoyed time together at Churchill’s during the Rumble and Roll evening.

Concluding, Stewart stated, “There was a live band and so much energy at the event. Mark Adams, Chance Rotert and Chad Ball from the store were at the event with me and we talked with so many people. Today retailers need to get out and and connect with consumers and enthusiasts. We definitely did that at the Rumble and Roll. Even though Car Toys Tulsa has been in the Tulsa market for over 3 decades it’s amazing that people will say they didn’t know we worked on bikes, UTVs or boats. That’s another reason we like to work at off site consumer events. Can’t wait for Rumble and Roll 2024.”

Alpine Now Shipping the OPTIM8 Automatic Sound Tuning Processor

Posted on by in Industry and tagged .

AUBURN HILLS, MI (06.13.23) – Alps Alpine North America, Inc. is now shipping the Alpine OPTIM8-Channel Hi-Res Sound Processor and Amplifier with Automatic Sound Tuning.

The Alpine OPTIM8 offers a suite of features, including a built-in 8-channel amplifier that is able to power a full sound system and flexible inputs that can be used with a factory radio or an aftermarket radio. However, the star feature of the product is the automatic sound-tuning controls that can tune a sound system in less than five minutes.

Using a PC App or IOS App for the iPhone (available on the iPhone 10 or newer), the Alpine OPTIM8 App guides users through a series of quick and simple movements of an external tuning microphone (sold separately) or the built-in iPhone microphone to take measurements of their sound system.

This is made possible by using Acoustic Power Volume Density (APVD), an auto-EQ technology that takes a three-dimensional image of the audio signal within the vehicle’s cabin, accounting for any anomalies or acoustic challenges like a center console or steering wheel, and intelligently flattens the vehicle’s audio curve to create a base for tuning. The user is then able to tune the sound system to their listening preference by choosing a target curve that is applied to the system in real-time.

The Alpine Optim8 PXE-C80-88 is available now for $799.95 and can be purchased at Alpine Authorized retailers and Preferred Online Stores. Please check the store locator on www.alpine-usa.com for details.

New SiriusXM Integrated Satellite Radio Solutions for 2023 Audi Models

Posted on by in Industry and tagged .

VAIS Technology has released new satellite radio integrated solutions specifically designed for 2023 AUDI models. This solution allows owners of these 2023 models to add SiriusXM® satellite radio to their existing factory stereo, without compromising functionality.

“Since 2003, VAIS Technology have been developing satellite radio adapters for vehicles that aren’t equipped from the factory with SiriusXM® tuners,” Dennis Hopper, Vice President of Sales, says. “While satellite radio is more popular than ever, many new OEM vehicles still don’t come equipped from the factory with satellite tuners. Our company develops simple, easy to install integrated solutions that add satellite radio, but preserve factory functions.”

The new 2023 integration kits provide coverage for AUDI A3, A4, A5, A6, Q3 and Q5 model numbers (GSR-UV01), GM (GSR-AU01) vehicles. This adapter connects directly to the original factory radio and allows the vehicle owner to listen to satellite radio through the existing factory system. The VAIS integrated solution also allows for full control of satellite radio functions – changing stations, setting presets, steering wheel functions, etc.
