Meet Rusty Flowers — The Man Who Started With One Sub a Day
Rusty Flowers has been in car audio for over 30 years. He didn't launch DC Audio with a massive business plan or a warehouse full of inventory. He launched it with a passion for loud, well-built car audio and a goal that sounds almost modest in hindsight:
Sell one subwoofer a day.
At the time, that felt like a big goal. Today, DC Audio has grown far beyond what Rusty originally imagined — but the philosophy hasn't changed. Build products you're proud of. Treat people fairly. Give honest advice. Never forget the people who helped you get there.
That's the kind of company DC Audio has always been — and that's exactly the kind of brand we want to carry at 12 Volt Outlet.
Built to Perform, Not Just to Sell
From day one, Rusty wasn't interested in slapping the DC Audio name on someone else's product. He wanted to understand how the equipment worked, how customers were actually using it, what was failing in the field, and how to make it better. That hands-on mentality became the DNA of DC Audio.
That approach produced a lineup that car audio enthusiasts trust at every level — from daily drivers to dedicated SPL competition builds. Today DC Audio offers:
- High-performance car audio subwoofers
- Monoblock and multi-channel amplifiers
- Midrange drivers and coaxial speakers
- Wiring, RCA cables, and installation accessories
But subwoofers will always be at the heart of what DC Audio is. Hand-built, seriously engineered, and proven at every power level from clean daily systems to wall builds pushing thousands of watts.
For Every Kind of Builder
What we love about DC Audio — and what our customers love — is that the lineup doesn't cater to just one type of builder. Rusty put it perfectly:
Some people want a clean daily system that sounds amazing. Some want to shake the entire car. And some want to find out exactly how much bass a vehicle can possibly produce. We love all of it.
That's the same attitude we bring to 12 Volt Outlet. Whether you're wiring up your first serious system or you're a seasoned competitor, we're here to help you get it right — and DC Audio gives us the product lineup to back that up at every level.
20 Years In — And Still Building
DC Audio recently crossed 20 years in business. For Rusty, that milestone isn't about the numbers — it's about the people. The customers who became regulars. The competitors who ran DC gear and kept winning. The dealers, installers, and enthusiasts who believed in the brand early and never stopped representing it.
As Rusty says: "You helped turn my goal of selling one subwoofer a day into 20 years of DC Audio. And we're not finished yet."
Neither are we.
