MESA, AZ (04.23.25) – We are thrilled to announce that Wayne Harris, a true pioneer and visionary in the 12-volt industry, has been awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s MasterTech Expo!
With a remarkable career spanning over three decades, Wayne Harris has left an indelible mark on the aftermarket auto sound world. As an entrepreneur, engineer, programmer, educator, and tech innovator, Wayne’s contributions have shaped the industry and inspired professionals worldwide.
Wayne’s journey began in college, where his passion for car audio was ignited while competing in Rolling Thunder stereo contests. In 1984, he won the first national car stereo competition at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas, with his show car, “Eruption.” The following year, Wayne introduced the “Terminator,” an iconic car stereo competition vehicle that influenced many in the early days of auto sound. His groundbreaking innovations, including “stiffening capacitors,” bus bars, and the “hair trick,” are still celebrated today.
The car stereo competition days launched Wayne’s professional career in 1985 at Orion Industries and later at Rockford Fosgate, where he served as Director of Research and Development. He played a pivotal role in developing exemplary products like Symmetry, EPX, and EPX2, earning multiple patents, CES Design and Innovation awards, and global acclaim. Wayne also created revolutionary software tools such as Term-PRO, Term-CAD, and TERM-PAK, empowering installers and engineers to design superior sound systems long before construction.
In 2000, Wayne shifted his focus to his own ventures—dB Drag Racing, Term-PRO, and Term-LAB, a sound measurement system that quickly became the industry benchmark for high SPL accuracy. Recognized with a CES Design and Innovation Award, Term-LAB revolutionized competitive sound measurement and continues to lead the way in audio technology innovation today.
Wayne’s influence has been spotlighted in countless publications, including Car Stereo Review and The Wall Street Journal, which dubbed him the “Bill Gates of Car Stereo.” The Lifetime Achievement Award is a testament to Wayne Harris’s incredible contributions and tireless pursuit of innovation. We are proud to celebrate his extraordinary career and continued influence.
Congratulations, Wayne, on this well-deserved recognition!

Cory Stocklin meeting with dealers in the booth.
On hand for the event was Cory Stocklin of Morel, who engaged with Canadian retailers and helped walk them through the brand’s latest innovations. GEMSEN’s Morel booth was a hot spot throughout the show, thanks in part to a complete refresh of their subwoofer lineup—each model meticulously engineered using state-of-the-art FEA (Finite Element Analysis) software to push performance boundaries even further. However, the undisputed highlight of the display was the debut of the Supremo 63 Special Edition speaker system. Representing the most advanced, refined, and exclusive car audio solution Morel has ever produced, this new flagship product redefines what’s possible in mobile audio. Built in extremely limited quantities, the Supremo Special Edition is a statement piece—designed not only to perform but to inspire. Its sonic performance approaches, and in some cases surpasses, the finest high-end home systems, delivering a breathtaking listening experience crafted for true audio connoisseurs.
As one of the most expensive and exclusive car audio systems available today, the Supremo Special Edition is the culmination of Morel’s four-decade-long journey of innovation and passion for sound. It’s not just a speaker system—it’s a milestone.
The highlight in the booth was the new Flagship Supremo Special Edition.
The training done by Cory Stocklin on Saturday was packed and one lucky attendee, Mohammed Yakub from Soundsgood Auto in Vancouver, took home the Morel “BIGGIE” Wireless Bluetooth speaker.
Beyond the show floor, Morel’s training session proved to be another major draw, packed with Canadian dealers eager to get the inside scoop on the brand’s latest offerings. The session also featured a live demo of Morel’s “BIGGIE” Bluetooth portable speaker, which impressed attendees with its powerful, room-filling sound from a small compact package. As a bonus, one lucky dealer walked away with the demo unit—congratulations to Mohammed Yakub of Soundsgood Auto in Vancouver, who won the BIGGIE during the giveaway!
