Casey’s Custom Audio Is Cranking It Up In Philadelphia… Mississippi

Posted on by in Featured.

PHILADELPHIA, MS (03.05.26) – Casey Woods and his family opened Casey’s Custom Audio in September last year. Casey left the 12volt industry several years ago and his passion has now led him back to opening this new store in Philadelphia with his wife Brandi and son Garrett.

The Casey’s Custom Audio facility it’s ideal for parking lot activities also.

A very comfortable area in the showroom has been set up for customers waiting on installs.

Finishing touches are still taking place in the large showroom areas as Casey is getting ready to crank things up in March.

“Our store is located on a busy road headed into town. Philadelphia is certainly not a big town, but we have many people living in the counties near Philadelphia along with other small towns close to Philadelphia. Our business is growing steadily from our opening and with spring approaching more people will be on the road and wanting to add upgrades to their rides.

And today with marine, bikes, sidexsides, golf carts and more in addition to cars and trucks there are so many possibilities. We can handle all those categories here at Casey’s Custom Audio” Casey stated.

Last week, Casey attended a local charity car show hosted by the local fire department. He was surprised to see one of his customers from a long ago there who was looking for new gear that will lead to business. Casey also saw a trailer he had added lighting to for customer who uses the trailer to haul his side-by-side to events. Attendees at the show saw the lighting in the trailer that led to a new project and business for Casey right after the event.

This area of the showroom spotlights several product categories.

SSV Works Launches Plug-&-Play Rear-Seat 10″ Subwoofer Add-On Kit for the 2026 Polaris RZR Pro R

Posted on by in Industry.

CAMARILLO, CA (03.05.26) – SSV Works announced the launch of its new Plug-&-Play Rear-Seat 10″ Subwoofer Add-On Kit engineered specifically for the 2026 Polaris RZR Pro R factory audio system.

For 2026, Polaris introduced an 8-channel, 1500-watt factory amplifier and pre-ran a rear subwoofer output harness to the rear seat area. SSV Works designed this kit to take advantage of that factory layout, creating a true add-on solution that drops under the rear driver-side seat and plugs directly into the factory rear subwoofer output, with no wire routing, no dash teardown, and no fabrication. The result is a fast, clean upgrade for Pro R owners who want more bass from their factory system without committing to a full aftermarket audio build.

“Not everyone wants to go all-in on a complete aftermarket kit, but a lot of riders still want the low-end the factory system is missing,” said Kelson, Marketing Director of SSV Works. “This add-on is the smart middle ground. You keep the factory audio system, and you get a noticeable bass upgrade in about 20 minutes.”

Designed for real off-road use, the rear-seat enclosure delivers deep, hard-hitting bass while staying tucked away and protected. Because the Pro R already has the rear sub output in place, installation stays simple and cost-effective, making it an ideal next-step upgrade for factory-audio Pro R owners.

“This is the kind of upgrade dealers love because it sells itself,” added Kelson. “If you have Pro R Ultimate’s sitting on the showroom floor, this is a perfect solution to install ahead of time. Customers hear it once and it helps close the deal.”

Key Features

• Built specifically for the 2026 Polaris RZR Pro R factory audio system

• Plug-&-Play connection to the factory rear subwoofer output harness

• Drops into the cavity under the rear driver-side rear seat

• No wire run, no cutting, no fabrication, and no dash access required

• 20-minute install for a fast, high-impact upgrade

• Limited Lifetime Warranty

• A cost-effective way to add more bass while keeping the factory amplifier and system intact

Mobile Solutions Launches FabKit™

Posted on by in Industry.

TEMPE, AZ (03.03.26) – Mobile Solutions is proud to announce the official launch of FabKit™, an engineered Speaker Grille & Panel System designed to dramatically reduce fabrication time while delivering premium, layered 3D interior styling.

“Too many shops avoid custom work because they believe it’s not profitable,” said Bryan Schmitt, founder, president, and CEO of Mobile Solutions. “We’ve challenged the status quo in fabrication by asking one simple question: How can we build smarter and save valuable time? FabKit is the answer. It increases efficiency, raises consistency, and gives shops the freedom to focus on generating revenue instead of sanding and routing for hours. Wrap it in material, install it, and you’re done.”

FabKit was created to eliminate some of the most time-consuming stages of custom panel fabrication. The system allows shops to focus more on creativity and finishing, and less on layout, routing, and grille-frame construction.

Engineered Efficiency Meets Premium Design

FabKit features a precision-machined, layered construction that is ready for upholstery in leather, suede, or vinyl straight out of the box. Its integrated magnet system allows effortless grille removal and secure reinstallation.

The system is designed for universal flexibility across multiple custom audio applications and produces consistent, repeatable results across builds.

Real-World Results: Major Time Savings

Early adopters are reporting significant labor reductions.

“The MS FabKit system is easily the biggest time saver since the release of the original Smart Template system,” said Peter Riker of The Specialists in Tucson, Ariz. “We easily save 8–10 hours of fabrication time using the FabKit.”

Built for Profitability

FabKit helps shops:
• Save 4–6+ hours per project
• Deliver OEM-inspired layered depth styling
• Increase shop throughput and revenue
• Improve client satisfaction with faster turnaround

With time savings translating directly to billable hours, FabKit positions shops to take on more projects and improve margins.

Available Models

FabKit Speaker Grille Panel Systems are available in four configurations:
• FK-APEX – 34.75in. x 13in.
• FK-GT – 41.25in. x 13in.
• FK-Shadow – 37.25in. x 12.5in.
• FK-Covert – 42in. x 13.5in.

It’s March And Time To Crank It Up

Posted on by in Uncategorized.

SHREVEPORT LA (03.02.26) It’s March and time to crank it up across the 12volt industry. Historically the 12volt industry kicks off in March with warmer temperatures, tax refund checks and people getting out on the road. March is a perfect time for proactive vendors, reps, distributors and dealers to connect at public events to let consumers and enthusiasts know about all the exciting products the 12volt industry offers for consumers.

“At 2 huge shows in Pittsburgh at the David Lawrence CC we connected with thousands of consumers” Ed Nuttall-Team Nutz.
“At this year’s Starbird Show we connected with thousands of enthusiasts in Tulsa” Cody Landis.

Most importantly consumers must know what we offer across the 12volt industry. Exciting products must be experienced in-person. Laptop and smartphone platforms do not deliver the in-person experience of a show or 12volt retailers store. Consumer events are the perfect places to make that happen. Cities across the US hold events for consumers at area convention centers.

“This was our 10th year to exhibit at this event and once again it was terrific” Mike Hudson.
“Exhibiting at the Portland Auto Show again was absolutely terrific. We spotlighted our decked out Tesla Model 3 and we’ve been seeing Teslas in our garage for updates and many other premium audio and lighting product upgrades” Kevin Cornutt.

Recently proactive retailer Team Nutz had booths at 2 large events in Pittsburgh. The World of Wheels and Pittsburgh International Auto Show attracted attendance of 50,000 plus. Code Zero Customs was on site at a very well attended Starbird Car Show show in Tulsa OK. The following week Boomer’s Audio was on site at a Marine Show at the same large convention center. Just a week ago Stereo King had a major presence at the Portland International Auto show. Each of these retailers and vendor partners have noted the great turnout from area consumers with an interest in 12volt product categories they saw in the Show floor. This weekend Bike Week kicked off at the International Speedway in Daytona. Kenwood, along with Florida retailer Tunes-N-Tint, has a large booth.

KENWOOD, with dealer Tunes-N-Tint, are on site at Bike Week in Daytona this week.
“KICKER was Livin’Loud at the ArenaCross in the Reno Sparks Center in Reno NV” Lorin Morrell-MADDOG Media.

In addition, KICKER recently wrapped the AMA KICKER ArenaCross Series that was held in local arenas across the US and attended by crowds of local enthusiast that came to see the racing on the track and have an opportunity to check out KICKER’s latest product lineup.
