TEMPE, Ariz., Jan. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockford Fosgate (www.rockfordfosgate.com), a global leader in high-performance audio systems, proudly celebrates its 45th anniversary, marking nearly five decades of groundbreaking innovation, customer dedication, and industry leadership. Since its founding in 1980, the company has been at the forefront of audio advancements across mobile, marine, motorcycle, and motorsports platforms.

We look forward to continuing this journey into the future."

Jim Fosgate, the visionary behind Rockford Fosgate, is widely recognized as the pioneer of the car audio amplifier. In the early 1970s, Fosgate and his fellow audio enthusiasts began experimenting with sound reproduction and automotive acoustics, leading to the debut of the first Fosgate Electronics^® product at the 1973 Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago. Soon after, he developed the Punch Equalization circuit and introduced the first car stereo systems to the market. In 1980, with the help of investment partners, Rockford Fosgate officially launched and began revolutionizing the in-car audio experience.

To commemorate this significant milestone, Rockford Fosgate will unveil a series of special collaborations throughout the year. "This anniversary isn't just about reflecting on our accomplishments; it's about celebrating the people who've been part of our journey," said Tammy Lowe, Director of Marketing.
