TEMPE, Ariz. - March 5, 2013 - Rockford Corp, the industry leader in high-performance car audio systems, takes pride in its retail base, and is proud to announce its recognition of two outstanding partners; Salt Lake City-based Lightning Audio retailer Car Concepts, and Mesa, Ariz.-based Renegade retailer Slangin' Sound and Tint for their dedication to Rockford and its family of brands.

Car Concepts recently added Lightning Audio to their product mix. Rick Goeller, president, Car Concepts commented, "We are proud of our new nearly 20,000-square-foot location in downtown Salt Lake City and we feel that very few 12Volt locations compare to the potential still available in our industry. Since we rarely add new lines, our staff is excited not only about the performance of Lightning Audio, but also the value it represents to the consumer. We look forward to a long and loyal partnership with Rockford."
Said Dan McLeod, Rockford Corp. director of sales, "Car Concepts and Rockford Corporation have history dating back 30 years. I have many fond memories of calling on Car Concepts and, specifically, Rick Goeller. We are extremely pleased at the opportunity to renew that relationship with all that the Lightning Audio brand has to offer."
Slangin' Sound and Tint has been a valuable Renegade dealer since 2011. They were recently recognized as a top Renegade retailer for 2012. "Rockford has great pricing and programs, fantastic products, and unsurpassed dealer support and service," said 16-year industry veteran and Slangin' Sound and Tint owner Bren Blanchette. "My customers love Renegade because they can be 'Ballin' on a budget'."
Added McLeod, "Rockford wishes to congratulate Slangin' Sound and Tint on their success with Renegade. Bren and his crew definitely have the Rockford attitude, and it shows with their customers. Loyalty has become a rarity in today's world, but Rockford and Slangin' Sound and Tint have a
dedicated customer base due to unsurpassed products and customer service second-to-none."
