Founded in 2005 in Houston, Texas, by a team of highly skilled audio industry veterans including founders Tim White, Brett Triola, and Joe Mandola, Wet Sounds was launched with a mission to create a new level of standards as a 'High Performance Marine Audio' manufacturer, combining their expertise in audio and passion for boating to deliver unprecedented performance and style to the marine industry. Originally headquartered at 10621 S Sam Houston Pkwy W, Suite 100, Houston, Texas, with operations in Rosenberg, Texas, Wet Sounds specializes in manufacturing high-performance audio equipment for marine, powersports, Jeep, outdoor, and lifestyle applications, establishing itself as a leader in unique niche marine audio products. Under the continued leadership of CEO JR Stocks and the founding trio of Tim White, Brett Triola, and Joe Mandola, the company developed a comprehensive product portfolio including marine speakers and audio systems, tower speakers, amplifiers, subwoofers, marine audio accessories, Jeep audio kits, powersports audio solutions, and outdoor speaker systems, all designed to withstand harsh marine environments while delivering exceptional sound quality. In November 2021, Wet Sounds was acquired by Patrick Industries, Inc., a publicly traded company founded in 1959 with over 10,000 employees and 160 businesses across the United States, in a strategic move that allowed all three original owners and key executives including CEO JR Stocks to remain with the company to continue growing and building the brand to the next level. Operating under Patrick Industries' leadership, including Chairman and CEO Andy L. Nemeth, Executive Vice President and CFO Andrew C. Roeder, and Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer Joel D. Duthie, Wet Sounds has expanded its reach while maintaining its commitment to innovative engineering and premium brand audio product offerings. The company operates with the philosophy 'We Bring The Party,' emphasizing their lifestyle-oriented approach to audio products, while offering industry-leading features including free ground shipping on orders over $99, a 2-year limited warranty, and exceptional customer service through their dedicated support team available Monday-Friday, 8 am - 5 pm CST.
