TEMPE, AZ (08.01.22) – Rockford Fosgate, the industry leader in high-performance audio, confirms the launch of new audio kits for Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The first release of these new 800-watt audio systems will be during the City of Sturgis Motorcycle Rally where Rockford staff will be demonstrating the audio kits at their booth on Lazelle Street and their location at Black Hills Harley-Davidson in Rapid City.
With options for Road Glide, Street Glide, Ultra, and CVO models, dating from 1998 through brand new bikes, the line-up of eleven kits is designed to exceed expectations by delivering the loudest, clearest sound for freeway speed output. They are custom tuned for the motorcycle environment to overcome wind, road, and exhaust noise while their Element Ready™ design ensures that each kit is purpose-built to withstand water, dirt, UV rays, and any weather that they encounter.
Kits feature the efficient, high-power output, IPX6 certified, M5 amplifier with a proprietary design that conserves current consumption while its Constant Power™ technology delivers dynamic power when needed. They also include a weatherproof wiring harness and installation components specific to each motorcycle model, as well as lightweight TMS speakers custom tuned for the open-air environment. Bikers can choose from kits that upgrade front fairing audio, as well as multi-speaker systems with front, bag lids, and tour-pak options.
For those looking to add Bluetooth streaming and SiriusXM capability that integrates with factory handlebar controls, a radio upgrade for 1998-2013 models is available (PMX-STG2 kits). Those with 2014 and newer Road Glide or Street Glide models have a kit option that adds dual 10-inch saddlebag subwoofers with an additional 800-watt amplifier.
Locations offering sales and installation at The Rally include Sound Connection at Rockford’s booth on Lazelle Street in Sturgis, Black Hills Harley-Davidson, Sound Pro in Rapid City, and Extreme Audio at the Buffalo Chip.

ZANESVILLE, OH (07.29.22) – On Sunday, July 24th, the Speedway Slam took place at the Muskingum County Speedway in Zanesville. The event included a Car and Bike Show presented by Custom Vehicles of Zanesville. A MECA Car Audio Competition was also on site.
Custom Vehicle’s Matt Przybyl (L) and Rusty North-End Result reflect on the successful day’s activities.
For Custom Vehicles Matt Przybyl related “We put the word out about the event with social media posts and had right at 100 cars showing at the event. The quality and wide range of the cars in the show was very impressive. Over the years the store had gotten away from this type of event. After seeing the turnout for this event we are already planning for next year.”
A selection of trophies and prizes for the Speedway Slam event.
A few of the unique cars in the Car Show.
Rusty North, End Result, was onsite supporting Custom Vehicle’s efforts with the Memphis Audio and Race Sport Lighting. North related “Matt and his team did a great job with the layout. They had plenty of giveaways and activities for all at the event. I showed attendees the latest products from the broad Memphis Audio line for car, marine and powersports. Also, Race Sport Lighting was spotlighted. The new Solar lights for the cab of pickups opened eyes for that new product that just recently hit retail.”
This old Ford was amazing.
This is the type of work that Custom Vehicles is known for in the area.
Three food trucks plus a DJ making announcements for activities and the MECA competition kept all engaged.
Custom Vehicles is a vehicle customization company that has served the Zanesville area for 45 years and is the one-stop shop for 12volt and automotive aftermarket products.
In the MECA Booth Brad Valkenburg (L) and Curtis Eigensee are MECA Michigan and Ohio Team Captains respectively.
COMMERCE, CA (07.29.22) – For a few years now, the Massive Audio award winning HippoXL subwoofer lineup has been knocking people’s socks off and scaring small children. Behold the HippoXL152R. Massive Audio went a little overboard with the HippoXL152R. Maybe the R stands for Ridiculous. But let’s get serious, as this sub is all about the most serious kind of bass. The HippoXL152R is weighing in with a staggering 430 oz, with a low carbon steel double stack motor, aluminum former and large pole vent as well as added rear venting to ensure years of keeping high temperatures under control during long periods of hammering away.
The oversized R motor gives it away, setting the XL152R apart from the rest of the HippoXL lineup. The excessive size of the motor is a must when trying to control the monstrous Made in USA 4” anodized voice coil. Speaking of that voice coil, it is guaranteed to soak up 3000 watts rms/ 6000 watts peak power when driven hard. The USA Made voice coil from Florida is an absolute must when it comes to a competition winning, high output subwoofer such as this.
Producing that tremendous bass is the Kevlar Fiber reinforced non-pressed paper cone. Keeping that Kevlar Fiber cone in check are a pair of oversized Nomex spiders. To finish off the build is the Massive Audio signature red cone stitching and a fiberglass dust cap. This sub not only makes a statement with its intimidating size, it makes a statement with the staggering output. The HippoXL152R is a SPL cheat code subwoofer… Guaranteed performance when a paired with our Massive Audio Drago D6 Monoblock amplifier.
Warning: Extreme levels of sound pressure with this combination can can be dangerous. HippoXL152R and Drago D6 Monoblock amplifier are designed to be used with Upgraded charging system and additional batterie(s) Only. Not for use in Stock electrical systems.
