MIRAMAR FL (09.30.2021) – JL Audio, in collaboration with BRP, has developed a premium audio upgrade for the all-new Sea-Doo Switch pontoon boats.
Engineered and fine-tuned by JL Audio, this powerful marine-grade audio solution is optimized to deliver rich, powerful sound when blasting through the water at full speed, without compromising the modularityof the pontoon. JL Audio designed their audio solution to seamlessly integrate into the movable corner tables that tie into the Sea-Doo Switch modular deck with LinQ quick-attach tiles. It features four cup holders and four USB ports for charging all your devices.
“Our engineering team members are experts at working with boat builders to create balanced marine audio systems that deliver the perfect sound stage in an open-air environment. By working closely with BRP we created a system that delivers ideal performance for a pontoon without compromising the innovative modular floor plan of the Sea-Doo Switch,” said Ora Freeman, Director OEM Sales, North America, JL Audio. “Packing a powerful JL Audio sound system, accent lighting and USB ports into the same space already occupied by side tables adds more functionality and enjoyment when on the water without taking up any extra space.”
The solution packs four 6.5-inch JL Audio M3 coaxial speakers powered by a JL Audio 280-watt 4- channel MX amplifier, and an enclosed 10-inch JL Audio TW3 subwoofer powered by a JL Audio 500- watt mono MX amplifier. The Premium Audio System for the Sea-Doo Switch was fine-tuned to deliver maximum open-air performance complete with rich, hard-hitting bass. Adding further cool factor to the Sea-Doo Switch, the JL Audio M3 coaxial speakers housed within the system feature RGB illumination that ties into the pontoon’s app-based RGB controller.
As with all JL Audio marine audio systems, the Premium Audio System for the Sea-Doo Switch was constructed of durable, high-quality materials that resist corrosion and can endure years of exposure to harsh marine elements.

CHINO, CA (09.27.2021) – Aunex is sad to announce the passing of our company President Steven Bach who passed away suddenly on Thursday, September 2nd 2021.
Steven’s passion for the industry started in the late eighties when he was first bit by the Car Audio bug back in high school. “If you wanted to get noticed back then, having a loud system was one of the best ways to achieve that. Back then it was audio first and then rims, tint, lowering and exhaust.”
Steven always dreamed of having his own car audio brand where he could create a product line and company with his own vision of how things should be. Steven’s career goes back over 25 years with time spent at Massive, Crossfire, and most recently as Vice President of Powerbass before starting his own company Aunex two years ago.
Steven was a visionary and force of nature in the 12v industry. He had a unique skill set. He could do it all. The car audio industry now has a huge hole in it and so many of us will struggle to fill the void of this amazing man with that crazy laugh of his.
In his absence, we believe that he would want us to carry on, eat some good food and go sell some great audio, and to honor him that’s exactly what we are going to do.
