Mark Eldridge joins JL Audio as Training Development Director

A legend in the car-audio competition circuit, Mark Eldridge has now joined JL Audio to develop training programs that he and JL Audio's training staff will then deliver to dealers in workshops and seminars worldwide. Eldridge is well known for the technical design and engineering expertise he has provided to the Harman Consumer Group, Stillwater Designs, MTX and Autosound 2000. He is also known for competing in the Expert Division with his winning 1987 Toyota 4Runner, which won more than 250 trophies. Eldridge will use his more than 20 years' experience to instruct dealers in the design, fabrication and tuning of high-performance car audio systems, acoustics and component interfacing, as well as in the use of appropriate tools and techniques to achieve maximum system performance. In addition, he will work closely with the JL Audio Marketing team to create technical support and training materials for JL Audio's mobile audio product lines.
