Ace Truong, Extreme Car Audio owner, stated “One of the Jeep Bash people is one of our clients who had a great experience at our business and recommended to the board members that they invite us to be a sponsor on site. There were just two 12volt businesses on site. It was a very successful event and we definitely look forward to next year.”
The AudioControl pick up and one of the Jeeps from Extreme Car Audio out front of the booth as the show is set to begin.
Stinger and Alpine are too very strong brands at Extreme Car Audio and both offer a wide selection of vehicle specific gear for Jeeps. Thus Ace reached out to Chris Brinkley with Singer and Jimmy Chaffee with Alpine. Both Chris and Jimmy were all in from the beginning and worked the event with the Extreme Car Audio team.
The Extreme Car Audio crew in a group shot in front of the world‘s largest Rubber Duck.
The Extreme Car Audio booth was loaded with products geared for Jeepers.
The Bayou Jeep Bash offered a wide selection of Jeep vendors, arts and craft vendors, live music, lights and sound competitions along with food trucks. The world’s largest Rubber Duck, a tradition at many Jeeps, events stood out on site.
The entire Extreme Car Audio staff, including 4 sales staff, 3 installers and office staff were on site. The team also loaded a full trailer filled with in-store displays that were set up under the tent in the booth. The company EV Hummer, decked with Alpine, was also available for demos at the event. Brinkley placed the AudioControl demo truck up front.
Chris Brinkley spotlighted the Stinger Horizon12 Jeep products in the booth.

Continuing Ace offered “We were very busy both days at the event. There was some rain and a lot of wind. We had plenty of weights to hold the tent down, but also had strong hands along with Chris and Jimmy help us hold the tent down. Overall, it was a terrific two day event as we were making sales and installations both days. On Monday following the event we had three Jeeps in our install bay in Marrero for installations.”
Jeep installations underway in the Extreme Car Audio installation bay following the Jeep Bash.
Ace concluded “We certainly offer a big thank you to Chris and Jimmy for their support. The Bayou Jeep Bash was a great opportunity to connect in-person with Jeep owners and enthusiasts. All of us working together was a terrific way to connect and drive business in our store.”

WTF… Where’s The Fun……On the next spin of the 12volt Spin-To-Win Wheel 316 on Friday, April 4th.
12VOLT CENTRAL STUDIOS (03.28.25) – As April approaches, there has been an uptick in business activity across the 12volt industry. 12volt distributor dealer shows can help contribute to driving that uptick activity going forward.
This Keynote Presentation from Dave Kindig packed the house at the Mastertech Expo.
In past years, the 12volt News has worked with distributors to spotlight as many as 30 of their upcoming dealer shows with news posts leading up to their show, during their show and following up from their shows. When the Covid 19 pandemic appeared nearly 5 years ago now that put a long-lasting damper on in-person activity. The Covid 19 cloud also put a damper on industry members traveling to connect across the country. After several years in-person shows and events are making a comeback.
The Special Marketing dealer open house at their new warehouse in Jacksonville was very well attended.
The recent MasterTech Expo 2025, Specialty Marketing and Shiflet Dickson shows demonstrated the desire of industry members to interact with peers, factory staffs, see new products, engage in product trainings and set plans to drive business going forward.
Attendees at the Shiflet Show gathered outside for a demo of this amazing bike featuring DB Drive products by DK Electronics.
There are presently 6 distributor shows on the 12volt News calendar for April. The A&W Show is April 9th, N&H Electronics Show is April 12th, Tri-State Enterprises April 12th, Davis Distribution is April 15, D Source 15 &16 and House Of Electronics is April 20th.
A schedule for distributor shows in May is not complete. SSR Distributor is set for May 18th. The PNWCEE event is set for May 19-21.
Any additional distributor dealer shows that are in the planning stages can be added to the calendar with an email to mike@12voltnews.com.
