SHREVEPORT LA (11.24.21) Happy Thanksgiving 2021 to all across the 12volt industry.
It goes without saying that 2021 has been one of the craziest years since the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Festival meal in 1621.
Overall, we in the 12volt industry have fared much better than many industries and businesses. That said there are still significant challenges ahead.
Let’s all remain positive for successful Black Friday events and Small Business Saturday as we work to finish November 2021 on a high note. And not to forget Cyber Monday.
A very Happy Thanksgiving and Holiday season to all from the 12volt Central Studios.
(Lincoln, NE) 11/23/21 – Emotions are running high as Robidoux Distributing’s 12volt Division celebrates their 1-Year Anniversary. The fast-growing distributor, out of Lincoln NE, has been turning heads with 12volt dealers in the MINK States offering their incredible sales and service.
ROBIDOUX Distributing 12volt Division opened its doors in November of 2021 located in the company’s brand new 37,000 Square Ft facility in Lincoln, NE. With a focus on local dealers, ROBIDOUX’s business plan is to be loyal to selective 12volt brands while over servicing its dealers and building personal relationships.
This screenshot greets dealers logging onto the Robidoux website.
Dealers such as Sound Works in Norfolk, NE have been taking notice. “The guys over at Robidoux do a great job,” tells shop owner Jonathon Schahrer. “ I was originally a little leery about starting an account with a new distributor but over the past year these guys have been super helpful and ship out products quickly.”
“We are no stranger to the distribution business” explains ROBIDOUX owner Jamie Robidoux.“ My family has been in business for over 40 years and customer service has always been our#1 priority. Our goal here is to become a welcoming local 12volt distributor that our retailers in the Midwest can count on. We are now extremely excited to offer our brand-new DEALER ORDER ENTRY PORTAL! Our marketing staff had been painstakingly working on this for nearly a year now and I think our dealers will be BLOWN AWAY with the results. Dealers can contact us here in the office to get an invite to the site which is password protected.” https://robidouxincdistributing.com/
The Robidoux warehouse in Lincoln NE is well stocked. Rock-N-Rev’s Jeff Budin (L) and owner Jamie Robidoux flank Max Mayer who is working to drive 12volt sales for the company.
Robidoux has also been aggressively adding new vendors to their already solid 12volt line up. With OEM integration on the up-rise, Robidoux is excited to announce the addition of WAVTECH processors and accessories. WAVTECH National Sales Manager Gus Olmos had this to say. “Whenever you add new distribution, it can be a challenge finding a partner that shares your values, especially when you are an independent specialty brand. We feel very fortunate that Robidoux has the same customer first philosophy that has made Wāvtech a success. We are excited to build this partnership and expand our business in the MINK States.”
Robidoux recently added the Wavtech brand and Jeff Budin is shown conducting a training session with Jamie Robidoux (R) and Max Mayer.
Robidoux’s territory covers the states of Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Southern Illinois.

Sony Car Audio’s Richard Wong (L) and Jim Rogers behind the new sales counter.
“My thought was to get everything done before the 2021 Holiday Season. We noticed work by 5 Axis Innovations and put a plan in place with Jody Culbertson. When completed that led to our Grand Reopening, November 19th and 20th, the weekend before Thanksgiving and Black Friday. To add to the event the Sony Demo Toyota Tundra had an opening that weekend and Richard Wong traveled from Dallas to have the amazing Tundra out front of our store for the 2 days” Rogers related.
Early Friday morning the Richard Wong had the Sony demo Tundra was in place.
The Audio Innovations showroom includes a new sales counter, display board plus product category displays mounted on the walls. LED lighting and backlighted signage adds to the overall look in the showroom with new flooring.
“The Audio Innovations showroom is amazing. One of the very best I have seen traveling the territory and US” Richard Wong, Sony Car Audio Field Support Manager, related. As soon as I arrived at the store in Conway, and walked into the store, my eyes opened wide and I thought WOW!”
Customers lined up for chance to check out the system in the Sony demo Tundra.
During the 2-Day event the Sony Toyota Tundra was parked outside drawing attention to the event. In addition, many consumers in Conway had the opportunity to experience the very best with Sony ES Mobile installed in the Tundra. The Sony XAV-9500ES, in the Tundra dash, was awarded the Best New Mobile Electronics product at the recent SEMA Show.
Jim Rogers with a customer checking out the Sony ES products.
“During the event at least 3 dozen people sat in the Tundra and all said it was the most amazing system they had ever experienced in a vehicle. The feature set on the Sony XAV-9500ES left them shaking their heads as most had no idea of all the in-vehicle options other that music” Wong added.
The Remote Start, Security & Smartphone Control products are spotlight in this custom 5 Axis wall display.
“The remodel of the Audio Innovations showroom will certainly create WOW factor when Jim’s customers enter the store. They will immediately recognize his commitment to delivering the best in in-vehicle entertainment” Culbertson stated to the 12volt News.
Freestanding displays highlight products and accessories.
Rogers concluded “Our Grand Reopening turned out very well. We had old and new customers in the store. They all commented about the great sound in the Sony demo. Old customers had great things to say about the showroom remodel. Our Audio Innovations 2-Day Grand Remodeling event definitely created a buzz in and around Conway.”

MESA, AZ (11.19.2021) – MSC is proud to announce the completion of the latest session of its “Fit it, Tune it, Turn it” training classes held November 13th-14th 2021 in sunny Mesa Arizona. With 8 sold out sessions held between July and November of this year, MSC gathered over 60 different specialty mobile electronics retail partners from across the United Sates at their Training Lab in Mesa, Arizona. Canadian dealer partners were hosted at the MSC facility in Calgary, Alberta Canada.
The MSC facility offers space for hands-on vehicle work as well as traditional classroom training.
Larry Penn of MSC launched the weekend with a cultural overview of the MSC brand and that of their manufacturing partners they represent in North America including BLAM, Brax, Helix, Match and Stinger Radar. A considerable amount of the program was spent covering retail concepts and sales development ideas. “As partners, we have to understand the changing landscape of the retail environment and how we can assist our dealers to ensure their continued success” commented Larry Penn. This discussion lead into the Systems by MSC brand presentation and what the benefit of this partnership brings to specialist independents.
“Understanding how a modern OEM infotainment system functions is a key part of our training” said Jason Digos of MSC. Hands on sessions included real-world demonstrations of electrical signal measurements using Audiotec Fischer’s DSP products and their highly intuitive DSP PC Tools software. This included how to use the ISA (Input Signal Analyzer) function of the platform to easily establish the existence of all pass filters, time alignment, equalization and other signal processing happening to the audio signals in many of today’s modern vehicles. After getting a firm understanding on the importance of OEM signal analysis and how to use that information to establish the system design, DSP tuning became the next focus. Lead by Chris Van Ry, MSC covered an in-depth software run through before presenting MSC’s Tuning for Profit tuning method. This scalable concept was built around the Audiotec Fischer DSP products and is used every day in MSC’s retail facility in Calgary, Alberta. MSC’s process allows dealers of all experience levels to quickly, predictably and repeatably tune cars to a point that will provide an amazing listening experience to their client. “We wanted to have all of the players in our partner’s stores to be able to understand the tuning process and be able to implement this process,” said Chris.
The educational elements are always important, but MSC and the crew made sure to include some socializing and fun along the way as well, with unique dining experiences, live music, and great networking.
MSC will soon be announcing upcoming dates for classes starting in 2022. Be sure to register early as these are “limited seating” engagements. Also plan to visit the MSC booth at the MasterTech Expo March 6th- 9th 2022. Watch for details on all the exciting things planned for this event!

DIAMOND BAR, CA (11.17.2021) – Despite ongoing disruptions in the economy, 70% of specialty-equipment manufacturers report sales growth over the past year, according to the new State of the Industry—Fall 2021 report from SEMA.
The report highlights specialty-equipment market trends, including sales performance and expectations, broader economic factors that are affecting the industry, and a future outlook on the role that emerging vehicle technologies may play.
Supply-chain disruptions are affecting the automotive sector, and new-vehicle production is expected to be 7.7 million units lower in 2021 than 2020—tempering the specialty-equipment industry’s optimism regarding its short-term prospects. However, most businesses are maintaining a positive outlook, with more than 80% expecting their sales to be stable or growing over the coming year.
The latest edition of SEMA’s State of the Industry report series found that 70% of specialty-equipment manufacturers experienced sales growth over the past year.
The latest edition of SEMA’s ongoing State of the Industry report series offers 70 pages of data on the specialty-equipment industry to help companies understand how the market is performing and evolving. Key findings from the report include: Delays in shipping and the ongoing microchip shortage have left automakers unable to keep up with consumer demand for new vehicles, pushing dealer inventories to all-time lows and the average price of a new vehicle to an unprecedented $45,000 in September 2021.
While some businesses struggled during the beginning of the pandemic last year, especially retailers, most were able to adjust. Manufacturers in particular have done well, reporting an average of 19% sales growth over the past 12 months. Sales in the pickup, sports car, SUV, and classic vehicle segments continue to be strong, with many businesses once again seeing double-digit sales growth this year.
Supply-chain disruptions are starting to create some uncertainty. In the spring of 2021, 70% of specialty-equipment manufacturers and 75% of distributors expected their sales to grow over the coming year. However, those percentages have fallen to 58% and 52% respectively.
The temporary shifts towards online sales that were made necessary by the pandemic are continuing to reverse, with the majority of specialty-equipment parts sales once again flowing through in-person retail channels. In the longer term, vehicle manufacturers’ plans to develop and sell more electric vehicles will require the specialty-equipment industry to plan for and adapt to these changes in the vehicle population.

SHREVEPORT, LA (11.15.2021) – The SEMA Show 2021’s 4-Day run, November 2-5, was certainly unlike others in recent memory. The world, along with the 12volt industry, is approaching 2 years since the COVID 19 Pandemic turned most things upside down.
Current conditions certainly impacted SEMA 2021 as major brands choose not to exhibit. Thus many retailers, without their top brands exhibiting, made the decisions to skid SEMA 2021. Business across the 12volt retail industry has been strong in spite of many companies dealing with staff shortages. Overall product shortages is on the minds of all across the 12volt industry.
The new West Hall offers 1.400,000 sq ft of exhibit space.
Let’s not forget travel nightmares and mask mandates.
With all of the above, SEMA 2021 was reported to be the largest automotive aftermarket trade show in the last 2 years with over 100,000 in attendance. The 12volt portion of the North Hall has been declining over recent years and that decline, affected by conditions noted above, continued in 2021. In addition, the new West Hall opened with 1,400,000 square feet of exhibit space. Obviously, when the size of the dance hall increases and the number of dancers stays close to the same, the floor and aisles will be less crowded.
Team Nutz crew members Ed Nuttall, Mike Grosnick and Ben Bjerke (LtoR) by the Nakamichi North Hall booth they helped set up after flight cancellations from Miami delayed Nakamichi staff.
Let’s highlight 5 12volt retailers who looked at the big long term picture and chose to attend SEMA 2021.
Team Nutz, Pittsburgh PA, was in Vegas for the entire event with staff of 3. Owner Ed Nuttall, Ben Bjerke and Mike Gosnick flew to Vegas on Sunday with a solid plan for the week that included over seeing the presentation of the All Ways Safe Flag Truck project they completed. The vehicle was loaded with Memphis Audio products and was showcased in the Feature Vehicle area at SEMA. Also in their plan was to see other businesses in Vegas and network to the hilt. As it turned out they lended a big hand to setting up the new Nakamichi booth in the North Hall. Many flights were cancelled out of Miami which delayed the arrival of Nakamichi staff members.
ST Mobile Audio at the airport headed Vegas to see their project in the Memphis Audio booth. Shanda and Michael Stewart in the foreground with Hanna and Josh Hover.
Team Nutz also contributed a large number of images and info for coverage from the 12volt Central Studios. A big Thank You to Team Nutz.
ST Mobile Audio traveled from Texarkana TX with owner Mike Stewart and his wife Shanda. Josh Hover and wife Hanna also made the trip. ST Mobile Audio is widely known across several states for creative work in the PowerSports category. To that end ST Mobile Audio completed an amazing 2021 RZR Turbo S Crew that was spotlighted in the Memphis Audio North Hall booth. A Memphis MOJO enclosure was needed to climb into the driver’s seat. Also, a big Thank You to Michael Stewart for sending images and observations from the SEMA floor. The Tesla Tunnel too!
Wayne and Tina Holton in a hall at SEMA ready to check out thousands of new products.
Wayne Holton, with wife Tina, traveled from the Jackson MS area to attend SEMA. “This was my 11th SEMA Show and I could not miss attending. Our Audio Solutions 49 business is very strong and my new ground up build new store is rocking. In addition, our PowerSports store is going strong. That said, I could not miss SEMA 2021.”
Cody Landis-(R) Code Zero Customs with West Coast Customs founder Ryan Friedlinghaus at SEMA 2021.
Cody Landis, Code Zero Customs in Tulsa OK, related “This was my first SEMA and I am so glad I went. We had 2 vehicles on site displayed by companies that we created. Seeing them on display in Vegas was amazing. In addition I was able to meet Ryan Friedlinghaus the Founder of West Coast Customs. I watched him on TV and he was definitely an important factor of my decision to make a career in the 12volt industry.”
AudioKing from Yakima WA attended SEMA 2021 with their entire crew. Seeing a post of them, all with a big Thumbs Up, in the AudioControl booth with Matt Palumbo was a very nice surprise to see on Instagram.
The AudioKing crew from Yakima WA traveled to Vegas for SEMA 2021. In the AudioControl booth in the North Hall with Matt Palumbo they give a BIG THUMBS UP. Alvaro Gutierrez, Jonathan Birrueta, Abraham Jimenez, David Garcia, owner Israel Zaragoza, Erick Jimenez, Matt Palumbo, Joel Zaragoza and Noe Suarez (LtoR). “Taking the whole crew to SEMA really shows how dedicated AudioKing is to this industry and their craft” Palumbo, AudioControl National Trainer, stated.
