John J. Shalam, the son of an Egyptian textile merchant, immigrated to New York City with his family in 1948. He founded Audiovox as an import trading company in 1960. In 1965 Shalam found that the 2,000 car radios he was forced to dispose of when a deal to sell them fell through were so popular that he began doing business exclusively in auto sound. By 1982 Audiovox was one of the top three companies in the custom auto sound industry, according to Shalam, selling radios and sound systems both to car dealers and retail customers. The company also had a Protector division providing aftermarket products ranging from paint sealants to car burglar alarms. Cellular mobile telephones were added in 1984. Company sales grew from $157.88 million in fiscal 1985 (the year ended November 30, 1985) to $203.83 million in fiscal 1986. Net income increased from $2.73 million to $3.45 million during this period.

Audiovox became a public corporation in 1987, raising $37.62 million by selling about one-sixth of its Class B common stock at $16 a share in its initial offering. Shalam retained control over a majority of the shares. Although the company had been carrying mobile cell phones for only three years, they accounted for almost half of its income in 1987. Audiovox held the largest market share of this product, with approximately 20 percent of the total cellular market, and was selling them to seven regional Bell operating companies, as well as other telephone companies, distributors, and mass merchandisers in the United States and Canada, including two joint ventures. Audiovox was also selling, installing, and servicing cell phones through its 16 Quintex retail locations.

JBL is an American audio company owned by Harman International that was founded in 1946 by James Bullough Lansing. Their primary products are loudspeakers and associated electronics. There are two independent divisions within the company – JBL Consumer and JBL Professional. The former produces audio equipment for the home market while the latter produces professional equipment for the studio, installed sound, tour sound, portable sound and cinema markets. While Harman International does not break out the sales figures of their individual brands, it is believed that JBL is one of the largest, if not the largest selling loudspeaker brand in the world.

During the 80s and 90s, JBL expanded their presence in the professional field to become the largest professional sound company in the world. JBL became the dominant supplier to the tour sound industry, with their loudspeakers being employed by the largest touring rock acts and music festivals. JBL products were the basis for the development of THX loudspeaker standard which resulted in JBL becoming the premier cinema loudspeaker manufacturer. The portable sound market was largely established by JBL with their Cabaret product line and continues to be dominated by their Eon series. JBL was equally successful in the installed sound market with their Control series.

JBL continues to command a leadership position in the audio industry. In the professional field, they dominate virtually every market segment and maintain the prestige position as evidenced by the 2005 Technical Grammy awarded to JBL for being "... preeminent in high-end loudspeaker technology for all facets of professional sound since its formation in 1946."

Rockford Fosgate®. It's a full sentence. It means POWER! It means ATTITUDE! Since 1973, when founder Jim Fosgate put his name on the first real piece of high performance audio equipment built for the car, nothing has been the same.

While the rest of the world was struggling with really bad fashions and shoes that were way too high, Jim Fosgate, working in his garage in Arizona, USA, figured out that an amplifier, and for that matter, a car audio system would have to be dramatically different than what people were listening to in their homes. This meant an amplifier that could run low impedance loads, which meant that it would have to run in stereo and mono simultaneously. These needs then dictated that the amplifier incorporate a MOSFET design a small detail that was unknown in the world of audio at the time. Wrap all this "technobabble" into the single most important development of the Fosgate designs… The PUNCH EQ.
