SSV Works Announces 2020 Kawasaki Teryx KRX1000 Kick Panel Speaker Pods

Posted on May 10, 2021 by 12VoltNews in Industry and tagged SSV Works.

OXNARD, CA (05.11.2021) – SSV Works has launched the industry first 6.5-inch Kick Panel Speaker Pods (p/n KX-F65A) for the 2020+ Kawasaki Teryx KRX1000. The pods are now shipping (MSRP: $329.99) and include an SSV Works powersports A6 speaker.

“Utilizing 3D modeling and design, SSV Works was able to design a proper enclosure for a kick panel speaker, offering a better solution than the open backed factory door speakers.” explained Trevor Kaplan, SSV Works CEO. “Being completely open in the back, the factory door pods are not fully sealed, leaving them exposed to the elements and reducing sound quality. Our fully sealed, UV stable, all-weather durable kick panel pods provide better sound quality and ensure that you never have to worry about where you ride.”

The KX-F65A includes all necessary mounting hardware and an SSV Works 4ohm, 60/120W (RMS/Peak) powersports marine speaker with 25mm Titanium hard dome tweeter, Santoprene surround, UV Stable ASA plastic grille, and 2-pin posi-lock connectors.

The KX-F65 also has an unloaded option so that you can incorporate your own 6.5-inch speakers for a custom install.

2021 SEMA Hall of Fame Inductees Announced

Posted on May 6, 2021 by 12VoltNews in Industry and tagged SEMA.

Jessi Combs, Rick Love, Bob Moore, and Carl Schiefer will be honored as new SEMA Hall of Fame members during the 2021 SEMA Installation & Gala on July 30.

DIAMOND BAR, CA (05.07.2021) – Four dedicated individuals who contributed to and have had an impactful influence on the automotive specialty equipment industry are being honored as new SEMA Hall of Fame members. They will join an elite group of icons who comprise the SEMA Hall of Fame, as they are officially inducted at the SEMA Installation & Gala on July 30 in Las Vegas, Nev.

The four newest SEMA Hall of Fame members are Jessi Combs, Rick Love, Bob Moore, and Carl Schiefer.

Jessi Combs: Jessi Combs built an accomplished career in the automotive industry as the host of several television programs, founder of a variety of businesses, and an accomplished fabricator and racecar driver. With an infectious passion and youthful enthusiasm for the industry, Combs served as a host for many SEMA events, including the SEMA Installation & Gala and the SEMA Awards Banquet at the SEMA Show. As a lead in the historic 2012 SEMA Businesswomen’s Network (SBN) All-Female Ford Mustang Build, Combs served as a role-model for women in the industry and continued to inspire women through the launch of The Real Deal, a collaboration with fellow SBN member Theresa Contreras designed to inspire confidence, break stereotypes, and motivate other women to pursue their passions. In 2019, Combs set a land speed record for women, 522.783 mph, on a dry lake bed in Oregon – a feat that resulted in an accident that led to her untimely death at the age of 39.

Rick Love: While freelancing as a writer/photographer for Rodder’s Digest magazine in 1982, Rick Love created a home workshop and leaned on his electronics degree to do wiring and air conditioning installations for other hot rodders. It was this A/C work that caught the attention of SEMA Hall of Famer and founder of Vintage Air Jack Chisenhall. Chisenhall asked Love to assist the company at rodding events, and continued to promote him over the years to his current position of president, in charge of overseeing the day-to-day operations of the entire company. Despite his busy schedule at Vintage Air, Love never wavers to volunteer his time, expertise, and energy to helping the industry. As a true car guy, he advocates for the industry. Having served multiple terms as chairman of the SEMA Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA), Love is an ambassador for SEMA and constantly recruits and encourages businesses to get involved.

Bob Moore: Bob Moore appropriately authored a monthly column in Aftermarket Business magazine titled “Ahead of the Curve.” As electronic catalogs evolved and the Internet began to dominate the way consumers researched and purchased products in the early 2000s, Moore was a pioneer in establishing standards for product data in the automotive aftermarket. As a SEMA Board Member and the co-founder and chairman of the SEMA Business Technology Committee (which has evolved to what is now the SEMA Data Co-op), Moore was instrumental in creating standardized data for the specialty-equipment industry. He spent years scrutinizing the specialty-equipment industry’s needs to determine the attributes that consumers look for that will help businesses sell more products, resulting in the first-ever one-stop product information data pool. Moore was awarded the 2010 SEMA Chairman’s Service Award from then-Chairman of the Board Rick Rollins, who noted, “We are fortunate to have someone with his leadership and determination driving some of our industry’s most critical initiatives.”

Carl Schiefer: As the son of the first SEMA Hall of Fame recipient Paul Scheifer, Carl Schiefer built a legacy of his own by founding one of the first marketing agencies dedicated to automotive brands. Schiefer Media was created in 1985 as an enthusiast media agency with an original focus on automotive aftermarket and related enthusiast categories. With an impressive list of clients, including Edelbrock, Mother’s, Bilstein, and Royal Purple, Scheifer Media was instrumental in bringing motorsports brands to the mainstream public. He initiated advertising for automotive brands on television – a practice that may seem standard today, but was unusual at the time and significantly expanded market reach to a nationwide audience. Perhaps what sets Carl apart from other marketers is his passion for the industry; Carl raced Top Gas and Top Fuel dragsters amongst the greats, including Don Garlits, Tommy Ivo, and the Smothers Brothers. Although retired from Schiefer Media, the agency continues to operate as SCS, with Carl’s son James as CEO.

In addition to formally introducing Combs, Love, Moore, and Schiefer as SEMA Hall of Fame members during the 2021 SEMA Installation & Gala, the annual event on July 30 will include recognitions of the newly elected and the outgoing SEMA Board members.

All SEMA members and industry professionals are invited to join the celebration and can purchase tickets at www.sema.org/gala.

Code Zero Customs at the Starbird Car Show in Tulsa as an Event Sponsor

Posted on May 5, 2021 by 12VoltNews in Uncategorized.

TULSA, OK (05.06.2021) – Code Zero Customs had a major presence at the recent Starbird Car Show in Tulsa. The event, the 57th Annual, was held in the Tulsa Expo Center April 30th thru May 2nd. This was the 5th year for Code Zero Customs to exhibit and the proactive Tulsa-based 12volt retailer was an event sponsor. As part of the event sponsorship there were 2500 VIP’s on the floor wearing branded Code Zero Customs lanyards.

The Code Zero Customs Booth as setup was complete.

2500 custom VIP lanyards were part of the Code Zero Customs Sponsorship package.

Cody Landis, Code Zero Customs owner, related, “Being on site with a 20×40 booth at the Starbird Car Show is always a real branding opportunity for our company. Attendees are serious automotive enthusiasts and it is a great way to showcase our brand and products to the right audience. We had 3 vehicles on display in our booth. A tricked out Lexus 350, 2014 Chevy Silverado and ’59 Ford. Each vehicle showcased our custom work and put smiles on faces. By design we did not have any products for sale in the booth. The Lexus 350 featured AudioFrog products and the Silverado featured JL Audio gear.”

The Chevy Silverado demo was set to draw attention.

The custom work in the Lexus 350 showcased Code Zero Customs’ work.

Continuing, Landis offered, “But we definitely struck deals and set up four appointments for new business at the show. The Tuesday following the show we sold another 3 very nice jobs. One job in particular was a custom console the gentleman saw in our Silverado demo in the booth.”

During the event, the Code Zero Customs store was closed as Bobby and Jinny joined Cody working the booth.
