Petra Industries, the consumer electronic industry's accessory authority, held its 15th annual Car Audio expo over the past weekend on Sunday, April 23 at Petra's Distribution Center in Edmond, OK.
On one of the most beautiful days of the spring Petra welcomed hundreds of attendees to see demonstrations of the newest mobile A/V products including head units, amplifiers, speakers and subwoofers. In addition to meeting with vendors, attendees were also afforded the chance to buy exclusive same-day show specials and select deals.
As always the dealer Olympics proved to be the most exciting part of the expo. In addition to the always favorite subwoofer toss and egg toss, Petra introduced a Pro Challenge. This challenge gave four customer/installers the opportunity to show off installation skills. The competitors were judged in, creativity, functionality and speed to properly connect a head unit to speakers and a power supply. The winner of the inaugural Pro Challenge event is Thomas Thomas of Thomas Thomas Audio.
