STILLWATER, OK (08.26.2021) – KICKER is coming back as the title sponsor of Ocean City Jeep Week, held August 26-29 at the Ocean City Convention Center and around the Ocean City area.

KICKER’s XRV (Xtreme Recreational Vehicle) makes the trek to OC Jeep Week and will set up in front of the Convention Center entrance. The 82-foot big rig is a rolling showroom, displaying the full line of KICKER audio products for UTV, motorcycle, marine and auto. The XRV’s upgraded Boom Room is larger and louder, built to withstand the torture emanating from 40,000 watts of power.

Next to the XRV, authorized KICKER dealer Audio Works (Newark, Del.) will be installing audio systems on-site for the entire show. Audio Works will have several KICKER packages made especially for Jeeps.

OC Jeep Week has a nonstop event schedule planned for every day of the show, beginning with 300 Jeepers cruising the Ocean City sand at the Beach Crawl. The KICKER Show ‘N Shine is planned for Thursday and Friday from 11-2 p.m., and three daily sand-course events will run that afternoon. The KICKER Kickoff Party caps off the first day of the show.  The Jeep Jam trail and obstacle course will be daily attractions, as is a Kids Zone, live DJ, vendors row and more.

At the end of Jeep Week, KICKER will choose the winner of the “Livin’ Loud” award, a package that includes two sets of speakers, amplification, loaded enclosure and wire. Winners will be chosen for the quality of their KICKER installation and their Livin’ Loud attitude.

Full event details are available on the OC Jeep Week web page, online at www.oceancityjeepweek.com.

LIMA, OH (08.24.2021) – The Custom Audio Concepts 3-Day Tent Sale took place Thursday through Saturday, August 19th-21st. The company’s store is located at a very busy intersection in Lima OH. The Memphis Xtreme Audio Trailer and Rockford Fosgate Sound Lab were positioned outside along with numerous tables stacked high with specials under tents.

Mark Wallace, Custom Audio Concepts GM, who orchestrated the event offered, “We were stupid busy. I have been in this industry for 23 years and have never seen an event this busy…and register such strong sales. I know we did as much business in the 3 days as some stores do in a month… totally amazing!”

Ed Dalesandro, End Result, delivered the Memphis Extreme Trailer on Thursday following a strong Flash Sale event at Columbus Car Audio in Columbus OH the day before. Al Congdon, with the Progressive Group, drove the Rockford Fosgate Sound Lab and worked the event.

“The Memphis Xtreme Trailer is really a deluxe showroom on wheels with live product demos inside along with video presentations on a large screen. Memphis Xtreme Audio PowerSports products are spotlighted and the trailer’s custom wrap features PowerSports. We experienced strong sales as many customers took advantage of great event specials,” Dalesandro related.

Al Congdon stated, “Seemed we were busy every hour the event was open. The Rockford Fosgate Sound Lab grabs eyeballs and puts smiles on faces when customers experience the sound. Mark told me several times during the event he had never seen a selling atmosphere like this. Almost like a crazy Black Friday Midnight Sale.”

“There were 4 store staff members working the event plus the days that Ed and Al were showing and selling systems. We promoted the event on Facebook and Instagram with just a few radio spots. We timed the event the weekend just after the 15th to benefit from any paycheck and stimulus checks. We had s Spring Garage sale but the sales there did not come close to this 3-Day Tent Sale. Memphis MOJO products, and a lot of Rockford Fosgate amps and subs, drove the crazy sales. Some Kenwood and Sony head units, we were able to stockpile for the event, added to the sales,” Wallace concluded.

Custom Audio Concepts is owned by Nate Gast and sells home and car audio plus associated automotive aftermarket products. The company also operates a location in Van Wert, OH.

GRAND JUNCTION, CO (08.23.2021) – The Mesa County Fairgrounds was the site of the KICKER ArenaCross Supercross on Saturday, August 21st. The ground crew reworked the dirt after Friday rain to set the track for a great evening of racing.

KICKER had a major presence on site with trailer, RZR and tent in the lobby area. Local KICKER dealer Konnected Auto Restylin supplied a number of banners that were displayed along the track with KICKER banners. Maddog_Media’s Lorin Morrell was joined on site by Konnected Auto Restylin owner DJ Klamforth and Matt Macias from Santa Fe Distributing’s Denver branch. All there were under the tent in the lobby from 3 until after 10 PM.

Morrell stated, “This was one terrific KICKER ArenaCross event. There were so many preliminary runs on the track in the afternoon to set the field for the evening racing. The spectator stands trackside were full and so enthusiastic. The KICKER tent in the lobby was right in between to the beer garden and snack bar. As people lined up to get refreshments and snacks they certainly could not miss the KICKER tent. After they finished their snacks many came to the tent for specific information about the Kicker Car, Marine, Powersports and Lifestyle products we had on the tables. DJ, Matt and I talked with so many people. During the afternoon activities we had so many demos on the KICKER RZR. KICKER was definitely Livin’ Loud in Grand Junction.”

Konnected Auto Restylin is a relatively new retailer in Grand Junction and working very hard to create excitement in the marketplace for the company’s brand and aftermarket products. In fact on Sunday, the day following the KICKER ArenaCross, DJ hosted a SPL event at his store.

“Working with DJ and Matt at the event was terrific. Both are very energetic and really into KICKER products to drive excitement for enthusiasts,” Morrell concluded.

End Result’s Ed Dalesandro offered, “The Memphis Audio trailer has been updated with great vinyl graphics on the outside and product displays on the inside.The Memphis Audio product line is strong in the marketplace with the PowerSports category being especially hot. The recent updates with the Memphis Audio trailer highlight Memphis Xtreme Audio.”

The Wednesday, August 18th, event at Columbus Car Audio was a ‘1 Day Only Memphis Audio Trailer Sale’ at the company’s Morse Road location. There were 20% savings offered plus consumers could experience a live demo inside the trailer.

“No doubt the Memphis Trailer grabbed attention in front of the Columbus Car Audio store on busy Morse Road. When consumers experienced the live demo the smiles came to their faces. Sales were made and installations booked. In addition we were able to spend time with sales and installation tech staff members about the Memphis Audio line and answer any questions they had,” Dalesandro stated.

Columbus Car Audio GM Anthony Reibe related, “The Pandemic created the opportunity for a new line because of product shortages. And Memphis Audio and End Result had been in our ear for a long time. We decided to give it a shot and we have expanded our offerings of Memphis over a short period of time. With the support from End Result, Memphis has quickly become a valued vendor.”

During the day sales staff members also made social media posts showcasing Memphis Audio products in the showroom.

Sales Manager Jayson Cook dictates the retail pace of the at the store as CCA has so many moving parts with car dealer, upholstery, classic cars and more.

Shortly after 6PM the Memphis Audio Trailer was hitched to the End Result pickup. After being pulled out of the wet area in front Dalesandro headed out on the 90 mile drive to Lima OH.
