Race Sport Lighting Patented Solar Roof Cab Light System

RINGWOOD, IL (05.03.22) – Race Sport Lighting is pleased to announce the release of its new patented and innovative Solar Roof Cab Light System shipping to Retail locations soon. No Wire, No Holes, No Drilling involved! This Product was first previewed by Race Sport Lighting during the SEMA 2021 Show, and their sales and marketing team has been showing off the prototype at trade shows everywhere this year with an overwhelming popular response. Thousands of pre-orders are already awaiting the official shipping of this product to their store locations nationwide. This amazing new product is made in an ISO 9000 factory right here in the USA.

This USPTO patented technology is revolutionary, it is completely run by solar and vibrations sensors and requires no wiring or drilling of holes into the roof of the vehicle. Many shops avoid customer requests to sell and/or install cab lights because of the high risk or liability involved into drilling into a customer’s brand new truck. This innovative product allows all dealers to now add Cab Roof Lights to their list of products they sell or install and eliminates the complex installation and liability concerns that traditional wired version have. For shops that already do the old wire version cab roof lights systems, their techs typically take 4-6 hours to do these jobs, or all day basically. With Race Sport Lightings New Solar cab light systems, their techs can have the system installed in 30-minutes and move on to other jobs or products on that vehicle.

“This is one of the most exciting single products launches our company has ever had. The patented solar cab light technology is such a unique solution to a major problem in the marketplace. Our team has had the 1st prototype on the company vehicle for the last 2 years and it has very successfully gone through two Chicago winters and working strong today. The quality and performance make this one of the best roof cab light systems on the marketplace” – Steve Jergensen, President of Race Sport Lighting

To learn more about this system, please watch this In The Garage video from the partners at Total Truck Centers

The Part number for the Solar Cab Light System is #1007472 and it is only available in amber color right now. Race Sport Lighting will be releasing the white LED version late in the summer of 2022 under the same patent. The 1007472 system starts shipping very soon in May to distributors and retailers nationwide. Pre-orders are being accepted for this product right now.

Opinion: Ford’s F-150 Lightning is Just What the EV Market Needs

This article was written by Paul A. Eisenstein for TheDetroitBureau.com

DETROIT, MI (04.29.22) – When the first Ford F-150 Lightning rolls off the assembly line at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center near Detroit today it will join a growing list of new battery-electric vehicles. By my estimate, there’ll be as many as 60 on the road by the end of 2022, more than triple the count last year.

But Ford’s new pickup isn’t just another BEV. It’s the spark the market needs to bring battery technology into the mainstream, connecting with potential buyers that hardly glance at earlier models like the Tesla Model S, Chevrolet Bolt or Volkswagen ID.4.

With much fanfare, Ford begins production of the first customer-ready models of the F-150 Lightning EV today.

“Those vehicles still appeal to the early adopter community,” suggested Sam Abuelsamid, the principal auto analyst at Guidehouse Insights. “This is the first BEV to really move into the mainstream market.”

The broader F-Series has been, of course, America’s best-selling nameplate for 40 straight years — and the number one pickup for 45. Even after the production cuts suffered last year due to the semiconductor shortage, Ford managed to sell 726,004 F-Series pickups in 2021, far surpassing next-in-line models like the Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado.

One year after Ford confirmed construction of the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center, the first F-150 Lightning pre-production units was ready.

And where pickups were once the purview of farmers and contractors, they’ve today become mainstream vehicles, nearly as commonplace in the New York suburbs as on Texas ranches. If you were simply to go by average transaction price, industry data reveal the F-Series to be the best-selling luxury vehicle in America. And you certainly can outfit it like one, with upgraded trims like the Platinum, King Ranch and Limited loaded with leather, wood and the latest technologies.

In the automotive market, familiarity typically brings comfort, rather than contempt. Making the switch to an all-electric version of the truck becomes that much easier when there seems little to sacrifice and plenty to gain. At up to 7,700 pounds, Lightning has more than enough towing capacity for most pickup buyers, and its range of as much as 320 miles is significantly better than many of the new battery-electric sedans and SUVs now coming to market.

Sound Solutions Puts a Rolling Billboard on the Road

GREENVILLE, MI (04.28.22) – Consumers in Greenville MI will certainly see the new Sound Solutions Tahoe of the street. At sound-off competitions enthusiasts will also know Ron Neumann’s Tahoe is in the lanes. It is loud, loud with over 45,000 watts.

Ron Neumann pictured with the ‘rolling billboard’ Tahoe outside his Sound Solutions store in Greenville MI.

“It took us well over a year but the Sound Solutions Tahoe is ready. We got started, then Covid hit, then we got really busy, but now the Tahoe is ready. People will see us coming. With the SounDigital and Ground Zero competition system they will definitely hear us coming too. Up close they will also see a light show in the back” Neumann related.

Ground Zero 15’s are driven by over 40,000 watts of SounDigital power. Graphics and lighting spotlight the ultra custom Sound Solutions installation.

Continuing “I kind of had an idea for the wrap design in mind and took the concept to One Eighty Designs. We back and forth a bit and set on the final design. They completed the wrap and it looks great. It was super working with Jason Billups to get the gear together and we are looking to have a great year.”

Jason Billups, JB Associates, worked with Sound Solutions on build. “I was at their store last week and that vehicle is super, super loud. It has 40,000 SounDigital watts going to the Ground Zero 15’s alone. Another 6000 watts going to the mids and highs. When it cranked outside the store the large plate glass windows were flexing a couple inches. We have worked together for a number of year and it’s terrific to see Ron’s commitment to drive business.”

The Annual Sound Solutions 4.0 event is set for Saturday, April 30th.

The Sound Solutions Tahoe will roll out for the Michigan Season Opening competition on April 30th. This is the Annual Sound Solutions 4.0 Sound Off event with ISPLL, dB Drag and MECA formats. Pre-registration for the event has been strong. Competitors and their rides will pack the parking lot of the Dodge dealership across the street from the Sound Solutions store.

Watch for more from the Sound Solutions Tahoe.

JB Associates covers the states of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Alpine Now Shipping Alpine Halo Preloaded Truck Subwoofer Enclosures

AUBURN HILLS, MI (04.28.22) –Alps Alpine North America, Inc. (“Alpine”), is now shipping two new Dual 8” Alpine Halo Preloaded Truck Subwoofer Enclosures with ProLink. The enclosures come preloaded with Alpine’s 8” S-Series (S-DB8V-TRK) and next-generation R-Series (R2-DB8V-TRK) subwoofers and feature an adjustable linking design.

Designed for Trucks
The Truck Subwoofer Enclosures were intentionally designed for the space underneath the backseat. Two 8” subwoofers are preloaded into a compact enclosure for under-the-seat installation and linked with a ProLink bracket that can adjust from 40”-51” to fit most full-size truck applications, including the 2018-Up RAM 1500 (crew cab), 2015-Up Ford F-150 (crew cab), 2018-Up GMC Sierra/Chevrolet Silverado (crew cab), 2011 – 2018 Jeep Wrangler (in cargo area), and 2020 – Up Jeep Gladiator. Height-adjustable “feet” accommodate uneven truck floors for a secure install.

Centered on the enclosures is an integrated amplifier mount tray that’s optimized for Alpine’s mono power amplifiers. This convenient design ensures that the entire system can be installed underneath the seat.

High-Performance Subwoofers
Each enclosure comes preloaded with high-performance subwoofers that are tuned for the unique cabin environment of the truck and add deep, accurate bass to the sound system. The ported enclosures house 8” S-Series (S-DB8V-TRK) or next-generation R-Series (R2-DB8V-TRK) subwoofers that provide options in both power and price. The 600W RMS S-DB8V-TRK was designed for optimum performance at an approachable price while the 750W RMS R2-DB8V-TRK feature deeper, more authoritative bass that can be played at higher volumes.

The enclosures were designed with dual voice coil drivers, wired in parallel for a 2Ω load to take the guesswork out of choosing an amplifier that’s compatible in power rating.

Groundbreaking Alpine Halo Design
The new Truck Subwoofer Enclosures join the Alpine Halo Family with a premium, unmistakable design. The enclosure pulls design cues from the Alpine Halo Display with unique, curved edges outlined by a silver trim and a front link bracket cover with an Alpine logo badge. The enclosures are built with sturdy, 5/8” MDF construction covered in a premium black carpet that will provide a premium look in the truck.

The R2-DB8V-TRK and S-DB8V-TRK are now shipping at a MAP of $799.95 and $699.95 respectively and are available at Alpine Authorized retailers and at Preferred Online Stores. Authorized Installation Centers can be found on the Alpine-USA website through the store locator.
