1990<\/strong> – Aaron White started college to major in Aerospace Engineering at Parks College in Cahokia, Missouri. He continued doing custom car audio installs on the weekends to earn money to pay his way through college. His customers would seek him out to ask him what equipment he would recommend. Some times he would visit car audio retail stores with his customers to audition equipment and ultimately design the system that he would be installing for them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

1993<\/strong> – Aaron White quit college and founded Audio Dynamics. The AD logo was designed by his close friend Rick Berry. Now, Aaron was able to create wholesale accounts and sell his customers product instead of directing them to purchase product from other retailers. He sourced hi-fidelity speaker components and designed customer passive crossover networks to run amplifiers on multiple speakers in stereo and mono simultaneously which was well known as tri-mode. He sold amplifiers that were imported from Canada and different parts of Europe. All of the custom installs and sales were conducted at his grandparents’ house in their 3 car garage which was located in Bonne Terre, MO.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

1995<\/strong> – Aaron married his high school sweetheart and purchased their first home. He built a detached workshop to conduct Audio Dynamics’ business and continued to gather well known brands. He started selling coaxial speakers along with his custom designed component sets.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

1998<\/strong> – Aaron opened his first commercial car audio retail location which was located next door to a Chrysler dealership on 67 Highway in Leadington, MO. He brought in four additional big name brands and expanded his custom install work space. This is when he started cultivating regular customers into sound quality competitors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

1999<\/strong> – Aaron focused on selling day to day retail business and built an army of SQ competitors. One of those SQ competitors was Tony Rodriquez. Tony had him design and install his system which had the ability to score top sound quality points and dominate SPL numbers on the SQ scoresheet. Seven of his customers, including Tony, were qualified for USACi World Finals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

2003<\/strong> – Aaron moved the Audio Dynamics location to a new building in the heart of Farmington, Missouri. He had the builders include an eight foot wide double door that would allow a vehicle to be driven into the showroom. This allowed the sales people to interchange the sub enclosure and show the customer multiple bass packages. He also built a dedicated high end sound room.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

2006<\/strong> – Aaron expanded his car audio retail business by becoming a silent partner with Show Off car audio retail store which was located in northern St. Louis, MO. Show Off car audio became a huge success and opened their second location in the southern part of St. Louis, MO.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

2007<\/strong> – Aaron purchased the empty lot next door and built his dream shop. It consisted of a 1500 sq. ft. showroom with the ability to drive a vehicle into the showroom and a 5000 sq.ft. install bay with large fabrication rooms. This is when Aaron built a stand alone amplifier switching cabinet which was wired into the showroom vehicle. Now customers could select any mid\/high amp and sub amp that they wanted to hear inside the vehicle. This allowed for customers to experience multiple arrangements of amp and sub combinations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
