Sound Solutions Audio in Norwood, a simple web forum 10 years ago, now approaching $1 million in annual sales

NORWOOD -- Sound Solutions Audio, which started as an online web forum over a decade ago, has since grown into a major online retailer with annual sales just under $1 million, according to owner Mark LaFountain.

“There is not a huge audio market in our area but I want people to know there is a great little business right here in Norwood,” he said.

The car audio retailer is located at 14 South Main St. across from the fire station.

They sell amplifiers, sub woofers, speakers, components, speaker wire and more. They carry at least 14 brands, including their own.

The company makes its own sub woofers in Las Vegas.

“That is not common … most products come from China,” he said.

Their subwoofer was the winner of the World Heavyweight Bass Boxing title last month in Alabama.

Originally, LaFountain used his commercial space as a warehouse for his inventory for online sales. He decided to open his doors to customers buy right from the shelves about about two years ago.

“People can come in and we will sell them products at internet prices,” he said.

For now, Sound Solutions Audio, sells products but does not install them. LaFountain hopes that changes soon.

He said he has someone lined up who can do any installations needed but he is searching for an appropriate building to do the installations.

“I am looking to lease an empty garage…but options are pretty limited,” LaFountain said.

The store is also home to Cloud Chaser Vapor, which sells hand-crafted e-juices, vaping machines and accessories. They are open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., Saturdays from noon until 5 p.m. and closed on Sundays.
