AMP'D UP IN THE OZARKS 2025 — WHAT A WEEKEND!
Springfield, Missouri • Ozark Empire Fairgrounds
This past weekend, we hosted our second ever AMP'D UP IN THE OZARKS, and it was absolutely unforgettable. The energy, the crowd, the sound—everything came together to create a powerful experience that celebrated car audio culture like never before in southwest Missouri - besides the rain.
Despite the weather doing its best to slow us down, thousands of enthusiasts, families, and fans rolled in from all over the region to witness some of the wildest demo vehicles, custom builds, and industry-leading audio technology in action. There was no shortage of rumbling bass, head-turning installs, and next-level craftsmanship on display from every corner of the fairgrounds.
From the moment the gates opened, there was a buzz in the air. People packed the demo lanes, checked out incredible show vehicles, connected with top-tier vendors, and competed in sound-offs. Whether you were there for the SPL competitions, the product demos, or just to see the latest gear—it was clear that the Ozarks were officially AMP’D UP.
We want to give a massive shoutout to every person who came out to support, participate, and make this event such a success. And of course, a huge thank you goes out to our vendors and brand partners for showing up big and sharing their latest innovations, knowledge, and gear with attendees.
A huge thank you to KICKER for being the Title Sponsor of AMP'D UP IN THE OZARKS 2025. Their dedication to high-performance audio and unwavering support of the car audio community helped us bring this event to life in a big way. From thunderous demos to eye-catching builds, KICKER's presence was felt across the entire fairgrounds. We’re incredibly grateful to have them lead the charge and set the tone for everything this show represents.
