2009 Consumer Excellence Awards

Audioholics is ready once again to accept entries for the 2009 Consumer Excellence Awards that it will deliver to manufacturers for products that push the limits of consumer excellence and excel in their respective categories. There has been so much advancement in technology lately that it is important to highlight those products which exceed industry norms and deliver consistent excellent results to consumers, custom installers and retailers alike.

We want to announce these products to our readers early and recognize the companies who are advancing the consumer electronics industry. Out of this desire, the Consumer Excellence Awards were created.
