A Heartfelt Thank You as We Close a Chapter in Car Audio Excellence

by The Experts at Paradyme

Paradyme Car Audio

After more than four decades of dedication, craftsmanship, and innovation, we’re announcing a significant transition at Paradyme. As many of you know, Terry — one of the founders of Paradyme Car Audio — is retiring from his day-to-day role in the business. While Terry will remain involved and available to assist with questions and support, his well-earned shift in focus marks the closing of a chapter that has defined who we are.

Terry helped launch our Car Audio division back in 1978, with a deep passion for pushing the boundaries of in-vehicle sound. Over the years, he earned countless awards and accolades, and became known throughout the industry for creating some of the most impressive and innovative car audio systems around. His work didn’t just turn heads locally — Terry was invited to judge car audio competitions in Japan and became a respected voice in the global car audio community.

With Terry’s transition, we’ve made the very difficult decision to close our Paradyme Car Audio Retail and Installation services effective August 30, 2025.

Between now and then, we’ll be holding a special inventory clearance sale on all remaining car audio products. Whether you've been a loyal customer over the years or have always wanted to upgrade your system, now is a great time to stop by and take advantage of the final offerings from this historic department.

We know this announcement may bring mixed emotions — it certainly does for us. Paradyme Car Audio has meant so much to our team, our customers, and our community. But this is not a goodbye to Paradyme as a whole. Far from it.

We’re proud to share that our Home Audio/Video Retail and Installation department continues to thrive, and our Commercial Audio/Video division remains as strong and in-demand as ever. We’re as committed as ever to bringing best-in-class solutions to homes, businesses, and organizations throughout the region.

And most importantly, Terry is still with us — available to answer questions, provide guidance, and continue to support our valued clients.

To everyone who has trusted us with your vehicles, your sound systems, and your loyalty over the years: thank you. This legacy wouldn’t exist without you, and we’re honored to have shared the journey.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our continuing services, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here for you — and we’re not going anywhere.
