Posted on by in Industry and tagged .

TULSA, OK (10.26.2021) – Car Toys Tulsa provided area consumers with the opportunity to get the Sony Mobile ES Experience on Friday, October 22nd. Richard Wong rolled into Tulsa from his Dallas office in the Toyota Tacoma Mobile ES Demo truck to work with Charles Stewart and the Car Toys Team for the event.

Richard Wong’s Sony Toyota Tacoma demo parked in front of Car Toys Tulsa.

“Having Richard and the Sony truck parked in front of our store, doing demos for customers all day, was terrific. We utilized a graphic Sony supplied for social media posts to highlight the day’s activities. Over 2 dozen people specifically responded to the event. In addition, normal store traffic through the day added to the number of people who sat in the Sony Demo Truck to experience the latest Sony Car Audio products,” Stewart stated.

Car Toys Tulsa owner Charles Stewart (L) getting ready for a demo with this customer.
The Sony 10.1” screen, with custom graphic, definitely got attention.

Wong offered, “People who experienced a demo in the truck all indicated the sound was the best they had ever heard. All noted the 10.1” XA9500ES screen and said the sound was so natural. For some who wanted loud, with some bass, we gave that to them as well.”

Custom LED lighting spotlighted the Sony amps.
Giveaways and prizes were available to customers who experience the Sony demo.

“My personal Jeep Gladiator is outfitted with Sony gear and it was parked out front and was an opportunity for more Sony demos. After a demo we invited customers into the store to pick up a Sony koozie. While in the store they also saw other product categories we offer. The day turned out very nicely and we will plan another Sony Demo Day next spring. A big thank you to Sony and Richard,” Stewart concluded.

While on site Wong also worked with staff members to talk about Sony products and answer any questions for them.

Race Sport Lighting Launches New P-Series Projector Perfect LED Headlight Kits

Posted on by in Industry and tagged .

RINGWOOD, IL (10.25.2021) – Race Sport Lighting is excited to announce the launch of their new P-Series projector perfect LED headlight lineup. This product was developed and tested in their lab over the last year and is now available to the marketplace. The P-Series is the first headlight kit approved by their product specialists to produce a 100% perfect beam out of a projector lens with no spray lines or shadowing. These kits provide effective projection down the road without any performance loss. All other LED kits on the market experience performance issues when placed into projectors because projector lenses were originally engineered to work with HID technology. With the increase in popularity of LED headlights, the need for a LED solution to projector lenses was too much to ignore.

“Our whole team is excited to launch this new P-Series product to the marketplace. We have had the projector problem solved for the last 5 years with our GEN6 HID headlight kits, but many customers continued to insist on putting LED technologies into the projector style lenses on newer vehicles. It was imperative that we engineered an exclusive LED kit that provides another option with LED technology that we can feel comfortable putting our stamp of approval on.”

– Steve Jergensen, President of Race Sport Lighting

The P-Series boasts an amazing 3,950 LUX light output per bulb – giving the user almost 8,000 total LUX per kit. A high LUX output is required to properly project the 360° perfect light array down the road out of the lens. The P-Series closely resembles the down-road performance of their notorious GEN6 HID Conversion kits that have been the ultimate projector solution for thousands of dealers in the industry. If that was not enough, every P-Series kit is packaged with CANBUS decoders to ensure a successful install every time – even in vehicles with complex electrical systems.

“The P-Series LED Solve-All Kit is going to provide a solution to all the questions people are asking when it comes to vehicles equipped with projector lenses. This kit is going to be the next hot product for everyone to talk about at future tradeshows. This will change how LEDs are looked at, and it will be a home run for resellers all around North America.”

– Ignacio Ayala, Inside Sales & Product Specialist

The new P-Series Projector Perfect LED kits are in stock and shipping in six bulb bases (H7, H8, H11, 9005, 9006, and 9012) out of the Northern Illinois warehouse. All distributors and dealers are encouraged to get this new technology in stock and experience the LED solution to projector lenses.

JL Audio Now Standard on All 2022 Harris Luxury Pontoon Boats, Including the All-New Grand Mariner

Posted on by in Industry.

MIRAMAR, FL (10.25.2021) – JL Audio, manufacturer of high-end marine audio solutions, announces today that its audio solutions will now come standard on all 2022 model year Harris pontoonboats and luxury pontoon boats, including the redesigned Grand Mariner. The Grand Mariner will be offered with three audio packages, standard, diamond and platinum, each composed entirely of JL Audio products.

Working closely with Harris early in the design phase, JL Audio assesses the workable area of a boat to optimally place audio components for peak performance. In the case of the 2022 model year Grand Mariner, JL Audio in collaboration with Harris created an elevated sound stage that is ideally suited for how Pontoons are used. To do this, the full-range speakers were raised and integrated into the seat back within the entertainment area, instead to being near the floor, as was the case on previous model years. This seemingly subtle change resulted in sound immersing all passengers in the boat, providing them a n ideal music experience.

“Like automobiles, when audio systems are designed into a boat and engineered by audio experts they can produce a breathtaking listening experience,” said Ora Freeman, Director OEM Sales, North America, JL Audio. “Working with Harris’s design team early in the development of the new Grand Mariner, we applied our team’s robust understanding of open-air acoustics to engineer an audio system that takes music enjoyment on the water to new heights.”

All 2022 luxury pontoon boat models from Harris, including Solstice, Crown, and Grand Mariner, will come standard with a high-performance JL Audio system – further extending the relationship with JL Audio. Harris will also offer two optional audio upgrade packages:

  • Standard – JL Audio MediaMaster 50 marine source unit and six JL Audio M3 marine coaxial speakers
  • Diamond Package – Builds on the Standard audio package, replacing the MediaMaster 50 with an HD Audio-equipped MediaMaster 105 and adds a 10-inch JL Audio M3 subwoofer and JL Audio M- series amplifiers to drive the system
  • Platinum – Evolves a combination of Standard and Diamond audio packages, upgrading the components to JL Audio MVi reference-grade marine amplifiers with integrated DSP and M6 marine coaxial speakers with Transflective RGB lighting along with two subwoofers in custom enclosures

“Harris’s latest Grand Mariner launch is another example of how Harris and JL Audio’s historical partnership continues to lead the industry in delivering exceptional audio experiences to our customers. All our premium Harris models come standard with a JL Audio system and provide superior sound quality, richness, and user customization. Harris offers a robust set of audio packages to enhance every boater’s day on the water, and we’re thankful to our amazing partners at JL and the collaboration between our teams during each phase of the design process to together deliver premier customer experiences,” said Rusty Kucher, Category Director – P ontoons at Brunswick Corporation.
