What Sets Trulli Audio Apart?
For the first time ever, Trulli Audio hosted an exclusive roundtable discussion at KnowledgeFest Dallas, offering a deep dive into the groundbreaking ThinDriver™ Technology and the future of car audio. This discussion, moderated by Jordan Neuhauser, featured insights from Trulli Audio’s Head of Acoustics Andy Briggs, President & CEO Len Foxman, and special guests JT Torres from Automotive Entertainment and Lance Perkins from JK Automotive Designs (order as they sat left to right). This panel wasn't just a technical showcase; it was a defining moment for Trulli as we engaged deeply with our community and shared our vision for the future of sound.

Lance Perkins highlighted the versatility of the TD10S subwoofer, saying:
"It’s super slim, so if you want to put it in a small, sealed box up front in the footwell, you can. If you want a little extra SPL, put it in a box or a bandpass box... This subwoofer can do it all without having to compromise between different types of enclosures."
This versatility is a key feature of ThinDriver™ Technology, enabling creative and flexible installations without sacrificing performance.
JT Torres emphasized the groundbreaking size of the TD10S with an unforgettable statement:
"Having the ability to make a woofer work in a .2 to .3 cubic foot enclosure is unheard of."
This remark captured the innovative design of the TD10S, showing how Trulli Audio is redefining the size-performance relationship in car audio.
Andy Briggs used a brilliant analogy to explain the technical prowess behind ThinDriver™ Technology:
"Think of balancing a plate on your finger. In a traditional subwoofer, the voice coil is like your finger balancing the plate at the center, leading to instability. Our perimeter-driven design is like holding the plate by its edges—eliminating wobble and resulting in more stable, linear, low-distortion sound."
This explanation resonated with the audience, clearly outlining the core benefit of ThinDriver™ Technology: superior audio performance with less distortion.
Jordan Neuhauser added an insightful comparison to bring the concept home:
"Think of going to the gym. As you warm up, you get stronger, but after a while, fatigue sets in. The same happens with a subwoofer. Our technology excels by maintaining performance over time, handling power without losing form or overheating—just like keeping good form during a long workout."
Jordan’s analogy painted a vivid picture of the TD10S’s ability to perform under stress, reinforcing the reliability and longevity of Trulli Audio’s design.

The discussion underscored the values that drive Trulli Audio—innovation, performance, and creating technology that enhances the listening experience. Lance Perkins summed it up perfectly:
"When I started listening to music again with this sub, it gave me goosebumps. I didn’t want to leave my car. That’s a hard feeling to find, but it’s what Trulli delivers."
