LAS VEGAS 11-02-22 – Memphis has unleashed a powerful new line of amplifiers to tackle everyone’s pro audio needs. MOJO Pro amplifiers are a new line of impressive pro audio style amplifiers set to be released in early 2023. These powerful Pro Audio models will be available in 3 mono versions: MJP1000.1, MJP1500.1 & MJP3000.1 as well as a powerful 800 Watt 4-channel model (MJP800.4). All MOJO Pro amplifiers are designed with an extruded aluminum chassis with exposed aluminum accents and a vibrant orange accent strip which is befitting of anything bearing the MOJO name. The mono amplifiers are strapable allowing users to combine amplifiers to churn out absurd amounts of power to drive any pro audio system to the limits.
“We have been players in the pro audio game for a good while now and we know just how hot this category has become. Our dealers have been doing a lot of multi-speaker pro audio builds and have been asking for higher powered amps to meet their customers demands. We did what we always do and listed to our dealers and purpose-built these amplifiers to meet their needs. These things look and perform great and we’re confident based on the feedback that MOJO Pro amplifiers will be a huge success for our dealers,” Said Nick LoMonaco president of Memphis Audio.
MOJO Pro amplifiers will be on display at the Memphis Audio booth #11039 at SEMA 2022.
STILLWATER, USA – (11-01-22) KICKER ® has developed and perfected pairs of PA-style midrange drivers with its signature square-cone design and bullet tweeters, calling the line the ST-Series (“Street” Series) and built to be insanely loud and exceptionally clear. The ST-Series, custom-designed in-house by KICKER engineers, perfectly balances out competition-level SPL systems and are available for purchase at Authorized KICKER Dealers in-store and online.

DIAMOND BAR, Calif. (Oct. 31, 2022) – The SEMA Show will include, for the first time, a 6,000-sq.-ft. area dedicated to helping businesses understand how to customize and/or repair vehicles that have Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Located in Booth 36007 (Upper South Hall), the SEMA Show ADAS Showcase sponsored by Enterprise Holdings will feature ADAS-related tools, equipment, demonstrations, and experts throughout the four-day SEMA Show, Nov. 1-4, 2022, in Las Vegas, Nev.
The new SEMA Show feature comes as consumer demand for, and OEM offerings of, ADAS increases. By bringing together industry experts, partners, and suppliers, Showgoers will be able to network and learn how vehicle modifications impact ADAS functionality. Showgoers will also be able to see firsthand where a vehicle’s ADAS sensors are, how they work, and how they are impacted by modifications.
“The SEMA Show ADAS Showcase is designed to help businesses stay in front of the technology and understand where the opportunities are,” said Tom Gattuso, SEMA vice president of events. “This is the ideal time to interact and speak directly with leading providers and experts in the ADAS space. It’s also a valuable opportunity to get hands-on experience with some of the tools and equipment and witness live mock demonstrations.”
The 2022 SEMA Show will include a 6,000-sq.-ft. area dedicated to helping businesses understand how to customize and/or repair vehicles that have Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
Visitors will be able to meet with ADAS recalibration suppliers (Airpro, Autel, Burke Porter, Hunter, and John Bean/Snap-on) and with ADAS service providers (Alldata, AsTech by Repairify, AutoTechcelerators, CarADAS, i-Car, OpusIVS, and Transportation Research Center). On display will be a lowered car that has been modified, and demonstrations will be taking place on a lifted truck to show what equipment is needed in an actual aftermarket collision and service environment.
Showgoers will also learn about the 5,000-sq.-ft. ADAS Technology Center located within the SEMA Garage in Detroit. With two sophisticated labs, the ADAS Technology Center is at the forefront of research and testing. Showgoers will learn about the center’s data-driven approach to dynamic testing, which has a precise level of accuracy to within millimeters and milliseconds. The SEMA Garage in Detroit opened in August 2022. While the facility is the second SEMA Garage, it is a first for SEMA in terms of ADAS testing.
“We are forging new ground with the ADAS Center at the SEMA Garage in Detroit,” said Ben Kaminsky, SEMA Garage Detroit general manager. “While SEMA is a leader in performance product emissions testing, we are just getting started with ADAS. The SEMA Garage in Detroit will offer access to static and dynamic testing for ADAS so that aftermarket parts manufacturers will be able to help troubleshoot and develop products for any make and model vehicle, regardless of the ADAS features on it.”
Kaminsky and the SEMA Garage Detroit staff will be on hand to explain the capabilities of the facility. Live education sessions related to ADAS will also be taking place throughout the week. To learn more, visit http://www.semashow.com.

Celebrating its 55th anniversary in 2022, the annual SEMA Show has evolved to fit the times, reflecting and responding to changes in the specialty automotive industry, and this year’s Show should be no different. With an extra 600,000 sq. ft. of exhibition space courtesy of the new West Hall, last year’s Show provided attendees with more room to conduct business in a collegial environment while still having ample space to enjoy a dazzling array of enthusiast events, builds, competitions and networking opportunities. The 2022 Show promises more of the same.
The West Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center is home for exhibitors from the Truck, SUV & Off-Road, Restyling & Car Care Accessories and Powersports & Utility Vehicles sectors.
While the SEMA Show floor is organized by category and numbered to improve navigation, an ideal way to simplify the Show experience is with the 2022 SEMA Show app, which contains detailed exhibitor information, interactive floor plans and daily event information—all accessible from mobile devices.
The Show app also features a scanning function that allows attendees to capture product information from the New Products Showcase and exhibitor information from feature vehicles on display. The app puts the entire SEMA Show in your pocket, and it’s available as a free download from your mobile device’s native app store or by logging on to www.SEMAShow.com/app.

A first stop for many attendees, the New Products Showcase provides Showgoers with an up-close opportunity to examine the more than 2,500 new products on display at the Show.
The New Products Showcase

For 2022, two additional product categories will be added to the Showcase: advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and EV technology.
The New Products Showcase enables buyers to focus their efforts on the companies they need to see to keep the product pipelines active and their inventories fresh, and media attendees can get a glimpse of the latest trends to emerge from the industry’s leading influencers.

Feature Vehicle Displays
Various Locations
The SEMA Show is renowned for the innovative parts and accessories displayed on show vehicles representing every industry niche, from cars and trucks to powersports. Much more than rolling works of art, the vehicles offer an in-person look at real-life applications of the aftermarket’s latest and most impressive products.
Located throughout the Las Vegas Convention Center, inside and out, the displays connect with Showgoers as an extension to the exhibit booths of the product creators. The SEMA Show app features a scanning function that allows attendees to quickly capture product and exhibitor information from feature vehicles on display throughout the Show.
Returning to the SEMA Show for 2022, SEMA Overland Experience casts a spotlight on the fast-growing adventure lifestyle sector that encompasses every backcountry activity from camping and fishing to kayaking and ATV riding.
SEMA Overland Experience
West Hall, Booth #62236

Buyers at the 2022 SEMA Show will be able to see products and vehicles specifically for overlanding in the expanded SEMA Overland Experience area. This special exhibit will include dozens of customized vehicles with fully popped-out tents, survival accessories and portable kitchen systems all displayed among exhibitors supporting the growing overlanding market.

SEMA Electrified
North Hall, Booth #11268
As a trade association, SEMA looks down the road for emerging trends in performance and hot rodding, and it views vehicle electrification as a modern-day expression of those enthusiast pursuits.

Experience for yourself the surprising technologies that are advancing and redefining the performance aftermarket. At SEMA Electrified, you’ll encounter some incredible custom electric-vehicle conversions and noteworthy parts and products that are currently driving the market.
SEMA Launch Pad

Another must-see feature, SEMA Battle of the Builders showcases some of the world’s most talented vehicle builders in a day-long competition that concludes SEMA Show week.
SEMA Battle of The Builders
North Hall, Booth #10139
Since its debut in 2014, SEMA’s premier showcase of the builder’s art has become one of the Show’s biggest attractions. It returns for 2022 and runs all during Show week before culminating on Friday, November 4, in North Hall. Forty of the world’s most creative builds will be judged by a panel of industry experts, with the Top 12 vehicles advancing to the finals in four distinct categories that are new for 2022: Hot Rod/Hot Rod Truck, 4-Wheel Drive & Off-Road, Sport/Compact, Import Performance, Luxury & Exotic and Young Guns (builders under age 29). The winning vehicles will lead the procession at SEMA Cruise, which takes place immediately after the winners are announced.
Open to the public on the Show’s final day, SEMA Cruise gathers hundreds of Show vehicles in a four-wheeled caravan that wends its way toward SEMA Ignited, the Show’s final event.
SEMA Cruise
Silver Drive
Vehicles from the 2022 SEMA Show begin parading out of the Convention Center at Show close—4:00 p.m. on Friday, November 4—to the delight of thousands of fans in grandstands along the route.
More than 1,000 vehicles will take part in the SEMA Cruise, which proceeds toward the West Hall parking lot and SEMA Ignited, the Show’s official after-party that’s open the public. Spectators have a ringside seat to view the coolest cars on the planet, and the Cruise has become one of the Show’s most anticipated events.
SEMA Ignited
West Hall Parking Lot
The 2022 SEMA Show culminates at SEMA Ignited, the official after-party that launches immediately after the Show ends on Friday, November 4. The event takes place in the West Hall Parking Lot—just a short walk away—and is free to all credentialed Show attendees.
Introduced in 2014, the annual event is also open to the public, giving consumers the chance to glimpse some of the vehicles and excitement from the world-famous, trade-only SEMA Show. The party is a great way for Showgoers to unwind from the week while enjoying a night of food, entertainment, drifting demonstrations and more. Gates open at 3:00 p.m., and your SEMA Show badge serves as your free ticket. For more information, visit www.SEMAignited.com.
SEMA Gear
Various Locations
For your shopping convenience, SEMA Gear stores are located throughout the Show in the Bronze Lot, the East Lobby, SEMA Central, the Grand Lobby, the Grand Plaza, the Central Hall, the Skybridge and the West Hall. Don’t forget to stop by and pick up gifts and SEMA Show memorabilia for friends and business associates back home. You’ll find T-shirts, hats, bags and more at each store. A portion of the proceeds from every sale is donated to SEMA Cares charities.
Parking near the convention center is scarce (and expensive) during SEMA Show Week, so the Las Vegas Monorail is an attractive alternative. It connects the convention center with many major hotels, and it runs extended hours during Show week. SEMA members can also get discounted fares.
LVCC Loop
West Hall, Central Hall, Lower South Hall
Walking the SEMA Show floor can eat into valuable time, so Showgoers looking to maximize their efficiency during Show Week can take advantage of the new LVCC Loop. A 1.7-mi. subway tunnel that connects West, Central and South Halls at three dedicated stations, the Boring Company-built Loop can save time by transporting attendees from one end of the Convention Center to another in roughly 4 min., and the system can transport more than 4,000 passengers per hour.
