Happy Holiday’s 2025 And Merry Christmas To All Across The 12Volt Industry

SHREVEPORT, LA (12.24.2025) – We truly wish all across the 12volt industry a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Season 2025.

During this time of the year we wanted to take time to thank all across the 12volt industry for their support, encouragement and business in 2025 as we continue to work each day to showcase positives across the 12volt industry.

The year 2025 continued to be an uncertain time in the world and 12volt industry with so many changing factors in play. In many cases inventory supply issues continued in 2025 but tariffs and high inflation continued to impact consumer spending on non-essentials. Increases in online spending continues to impact the brick and mortar 12volt marketplace as well. Black Friday and Cyber Monday online sales again reached record levels.

The Christmas tree is up in the 12volt Central Studios. From the 12volt Central Studios, we encourage all to evaluate their situation and play to their strengths. Build on your company’s strengths and highlight the positives in your every day activities. Play the In-Store Experience and Professional Installation cards everyday. Manufacturers, Distributors, Rep Firms and Retailers alike must work to inform and connect to showcase our industry’s products to consumers. Consumers must be informed about our products and the positive ways those products can add to their in-vehicle safety and enjoyment experiences.

Let’s all work to make a bigger pie for all to share across the 12volt industry.

We look forward to continuing to showcase positives from companies across the 12volt industry in 2026 and beyond.

The 4th Annual Sassy Massey Toy Drive At Drive Tech Audio

GLENOLDEN, PA (12.15.25) – The 4th Annual Sassy Massey Toy Drive took place on Saturday, December 13th at the new Drive Tech Audio and Accessories store. “This was the largest turnout for this community event that collects thousands of toys for children to brighten their Christmas,” Michael Fusto related. Fusto has been the driving force behind this Christmas-giving event since the beginning.

The Santa bounce house grabbed attention.

Fusto, store owner, related, “We stepped up our game again this year and it turned out to be a much bigger turnout than last year. Days ago we positioned a 15’ x 10’ container with large Toy Drop-Off Bin signage to attract people wanting to support the Christmas giving effort. There were 20 local businesses highlighted on the signage that participated in the Toy Drive and all directed friends and social media followers to drop off toys in the bin. A friend has a storage company and he will make deliveries of the drop-off bin filled with toys to the Sassy Massey collection location when each bin is full. There will definitely be more trips to drop off toys for 17 hospitals this year than last.”

The showroom was packed throughout the event.

Continuing, “Saturday the 13th was crazy! The toy bin is now almost full and we plan for another bin to be filled by Christmas. At the event we had a live DJ, face painter, balloon twister and a Santa bounce house, plus tons of food and dessert. We had over 200 people stop by to donate and also check out our new store. Chris Henry and I were slammed. Representatives from the other sponsors helped with planning, setup and interacting with the crowd.”

This overhead shot shows the toy bin filling up.

“The activity in the showroom was definitely very busy, and the hot sellers for the day were remote starters and gift certificates. This allowed customers to select the right model for their vehicle while spreading installation time across multiple days. Several customers commented that they also donated toys last year and thanked us for getting behind this very thoughtful community activity. We took notes and plan to make the 2026 Sassy Massey Toy Drive even larger,” Fusto concluded.

PowerBass Visits the Rancho Alamitos High School Auto Shop Class

ONTARIO, CA (12,12.25) – On Tuesday December 9th Erik Harbour Vice President of PowerBass and Juan Quintana Sales and Marketing for PowerBass headed over to visit and talk about 12volt Audio and Electronics with students at Rancho Alamitos High School in Garden Grove California during their Auto Shop Class with their teacher Mr. Christan Garling.

Teacher Christan Garling, Erik Harbour and Juan Quintana L/R pictured upfront at the Shop Class

“Going back to school was great! We had a fun time in class with such a wonderful group of students. It was our pleasure to be able to take the time to talk with them and answer questions about our industry and show them the vast possibilities of future career paths in 12volt Electronics” stated Erik Harbour – Vice President PowerBass USA. Inc.

The 9th through 12th grade students interacting during the shop class.

The Rancho Alamitos High School Auto Shop is a hands-on program that teaches students the fundamentals of automotive technology, from maintenance and diagnostics to tool use and safe workshop practices. Students learn by doing, working directly on vehicles and real shop projects.

Juan and Erik fielding questions from the very engaged students.

A major strength of the program is its connection to the automotive community. Rancho Alamitos High School regularly welcomes guest speakers from local shops, industry professionals, modification brands, and automotive artists, giving students insight into real careers, custom-car culture, and the creative side of the auto world. These visits inspire students, expose them to current trends, and help them understand how professionals built their paths in the industry.

Students also participate in regional auto-skills competitions and career events, building confidence and experiencing the industry firsthand. Together, these experiences help students gain valuable skills, discover career possibilities, and prepare for college, apprenticeships, or entry-level automotive work. The auto shop continues to grow as a place where students learn, connect, create, and build their future.

A big Thank you for your support, Mr. Garling “Mr. G” …Christan Garling” Harbour concluded.
