TOLEDO, OH (07.09.2021) – The Great Alpine Wall Of Bass in the Car Stereo One showroom, in place now for 6 months, is creating excitement and driving business.
Steve Braun, President of Car Stereo One, stated “I believe that it is up to our industry, retailers and vendors alike, to bring excitement back to car audio. With the Great Alpine Wall of Bass we created an exciting in-store experience for consumers in Toledo and the surrounding area. On Wednesday, July 7th an Alpine team checked out the Great Alpine Wall of Bass and were very impressed.”
Pictured (L to R) Steve Braun – Car Stereo One owner, Cody, Hunter, JT, Brian, Steve Brown – Alpine, Chris Reavis – Alpine, Steve McGaffee – Online Marketing, and Dan Sparks – Alpine.
Steve McGaffee with Online Marketing joined Steve Brown-Alpine Director of Brand Marketing, Dan Sparks and Chris Reavis to check out the Great Wall of Bass at Car Stereo One.
The Great Alpine Wall of Bass features 30 woofers and 30 amps. It was the first of its kind in the whole country and definitely brought excitement back to car audio in the Toledo area. The 30 Alpine S-SB12V Halo woofer system links to create a wall across one side of the showroom. The 30 KTA-200M PowerPack mono amplifiers are mounted in a corner by the Great Alpine Wall of Bass.
The Great Alpine Wall of Bass is flanked by Alpine product displays.
Continuing, Braun offered, “The Great Alpine Wall of Bass came about following staff conversations with our area Alpine brand representative Dan Sparks. We were talking about car audio in the old days. One thing led to another. We took our ideas, with Steve McGaffee-Online Marketing, to Alpine and they gave the green light to go ahead with the project. The product was ordered and when it arrived Chris Reavis came up from Chicago and we knocked out the installation which took 3 days to get all in place.”
“The Great Alpine Wall of Bass has already been heard and felt. Our staff on the floor is getting a lot of attention when they crank the volume. We just began running some contests on social media. Our customers will be able to snap images and make videos in front of the Great Alpine Wall of Bass which they can post on Tik Tok and other platforms for prizes. We plan a grand prize for the most views. A big thank you for the support from Alpine, Online Marketing and the work of our team,” Braun concluded.

“The Grand Opening went very well and it was certainly a very special day. We opened at our previous location in 2016. We outgrew that facility as we made plans to grow. Our new facility was a ground up build with a 10.000 square foot layout focused on mobile electronics and accessories sales. The previous location remains open and will focus on the Powersports market,” Holton related.
This overhead drone shot shows the scope of the new location.

Ricky Gibson, N&H Electronics owner, made the 180 mile roundtrip drive from Hattiesburg MS to attend the Grand Opening. “The new Audio Solutions 49 location is really first rate. When I arrived the parking lot was jammed, showroom was packed and the phones were ringing off the hook in the showroom. Wayne is a very good N&H customer and seeing his new location was terrific. When I drove by the old location there was action too with golf carts outside.”
Audio Solutions 49 utilized social media to wish followers and customers a Happy 4th July. This post also planted seeds for some of the mobile electronics products that the company offers.

12VOLT CENRAL STUDIOS (07.06.21) Sunday, July 4th, marked the celebration of Independence Day 245 across the U.S. Many businesses enjoyed a 3-Day 4th of July weekend by taking off Monday, July 5th.
July 4th 2021 saw a return to somewhat normal with the COVID 19 Pandemic in retreat along plus travel and events returning to everyday life. Cities across the U.S. hosted spectacular fireworks shows that drew big crowds although the lack of rain forced cancelations some areas. Reports are that Fireworks sales topped over $1 billion for July 4th activities.
On July 4th KICKER hosted a celebration at the company’s Stillwater OK World HQ for the employee family. The KICKER XRV formed the backdrop for tents. There were multiple tables set up under the tents with a buffet of traditional 4th of July food, refreshments and desserts. The KICKER employee family numbers 200 and many enjoyed the 4th of July together.
Kevin Campbell, KICKER Marketing Director related “This was not a big production but families having a good dinner to celebrate July 4th on a nice night. Kids played in bounce houses and on slides plus there was music…Gotta have the music. The KICKER XRV was recently revamped and was open for all to experience. The KICKER family definitely enjoyed the music and was Livin’Loud.”

The Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Championship took place on Coney Island and once again Joey Chestnut was the winner…this for the 14th time. He downed 76 hot dogs and buns, that amounted to 22,800 calories, in 10 minutes!
It was very nice to see so many posts on social media as 12volt companies reached out to followers and friends to wish them a Happy 4th of July.
The business year is divided into 4 quarters….much like a football game. The first quarter of 2021 was strong as another round of stimulus checks arrived. Many billions more arrived in the second quarter with more stimulus checks arriving for many and sales remained strong in the first couple of months in the second quarter. As the second quarter came to a close the shortage of inventory, caused for the most part by the chip shortage, came to the forefront.
Great to see 12volt companies utilizing social media to wish their friends and followers a Happy July 4th.
Now, as the second half of 2021 gets underway, all businesses must have a game plan in place. Importantly, businesses must then keep their eye on the ball and work their game plan.
From the 12volt Central Studios we will continue to focus on the positives and encourage all to work to “Get Our Shine On” as an industry.
Let’s all set a plan for the 2nd half of 2021.
