TULSA, OK (06.10.22) – The 2022 Rumble and Roll, supporting the Make a Wish Foundation, was a huge success on Thursday, June 2nd. Well over 2000 motorcycle enthusiasts rolled through the streets of Tulsa to gather in the Brookside area.
Bikers assembled in the Brookside area of Tulsa during the Rumble and Roll Event
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 $400,000. for the Make A Wish Foundation.”
Car Toys Tulsa was set up in front of Churchill’s which was the center of the action Thursday evening.
Alex Stewart and Chance Rotert worked the event and give a big thumbs up under the Car Toys Tulsa tent.
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.
“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 Rumble and Roll was amazing. At the event we gave a ton of demos, sold products, provided quotes and set up installations. In the first days after the event we did 4 jobs in our bay at the store. The average ticket was right at $2K each.”
Rockford Fosgate products were sold on site with swag and catalogs.
Bikers assembled at the University of Tulsa Reynolds Center for the Make A Wish ride to the Brookside area.
Concluding, Stewart stated, “There was a live band and so much energy at the event. Alex Stewart and Chance Rotert from the store were at the event with me and we talked with so many people. Car Toys Tulsa has been in the Tulsa market for over 3 decades and it’s amazing that people will say they didn’t know we worked on bikes, or boats. That’s another reason we like to work at off site consumer events. Can’t wait for Rumble and Roll 2023.”
Bike jobs underway in the Car Toys Tulsa installation bay.

CLAERWATER, FL (06.08.22) – AAMP Global has announced the addition of two car audio veterans to their Team Phantom group. AAMP launched its Phantom program in 2016 to enhance the level of retailer support in the field.
Aaron Davis started in the industry working as an installer with a local high-end stereo shop. During his 5 years there, he was able to solidify his foundation and understanding of car audio and worked his way up to lead technician. This role afforded Aaron his now strong technical background and working knowledge of the ever-changing, multifaceted aspects of car audio. With experience and understanding, Aaron was able to transition to a different role within the industry as a sales representative with Paragon. There he represented brands like AudioControl, Arc Audio, and ORCA Designs to name a few. Aaron’s previous experience with sound quality competitions aided in his ability to train and assist dealers to elevate the car audio experience for his customers. This is where Aaron’s passion for car audio really shined, as he quickly became the “go to guy” for DSP and OEM integration. Aaron has a true passion for the 12-volt industry and enjoys sharing his knowledge to educate and bring awareness to new and more efficient ways of car audio installations and techniques. Aaron is excited for the future of car audio and all the new and exciting things that are yet to come. Aaron will cover the southern California area under his new Phantom role at AAMP.
Chris Brinkley is a Texas native who currently lives in the San Antonio area. Chris began his career in 2001 as a retail salesperson with a national electronics chain. In 2007, he transitioned to a sales support role for a manufacturer representative firm where he worked his way up to regional sales manager. Chris is known among his retail and distribution customers for providing world-class customer service, all while providing technological knowledge that is invaluable to his customer base. Chris is fluent in DSP tuning, installation diagnostics, and has a proven ability to quickly address and resolve other product challenges. Chris is bilingual and his primary goal is to support his clients and give them effective solutions for challenges that arise, all while providing profitable options that help grow their business. Chris is looking forward to supporting the Southern Texas and Louisiana markets in his new Phantom role.
“Chris and Aaron’s individual strengths will bring new perspective to the team, as their past efforts and abilities fall in line perfectly with the current Team Phantom program. I am looking forward to their growth and contributions here at AAMP Global,” said Director of Team Phantom, Mike Eckley.
