Teddy Nelson “Ted” Sharp, the founder of speaker-enclosure manufacturer Audio Enhancers, died on October 24, 2026. He was 69.
In a remembrance published October 29, 12VoltNews traced Sharp’s work in the car-audio business to the founding of Audio Enhancers in 1982. His company built automotive speaker cabinets, and he maintained connections with dealers and distributors through industry events.
Sharp’s work was part of a side of car audio that can be easy to overlook: the enclosure around the speaker. The industry remembrance recognizes his contribution to that business and the relationships he built along the way.
Williamson Memorial Funeral Home confirms a service on October 31 at noon Central time in Franklin, Tennessee, with visitation beginning at 10 a.m. Readers seeking current service information can consult the funeral home’s notice.
