Scosche is one of nineteen vendors that have established the 12 volt industry’s first and only member-owned retailer marketing and selling group. An elite group of car audio enthusiasts and retailers who have come together to establish the very best in the 12volt industry. Each MESA member is selected in a key geographic area and that area becomes their territory. No other member can infringe upon another member’s territory. This promotes ethic and upstanding business principles amongst those vendors that carry a great passion for the industry. Being a member of the MESA group gives one the opportunity to negotiate a program with specific representatives (i.e. Scocshe) to “further enhance their profitability” and taking advantaging of exclusive partner lines only sold to MESA members.

In the 12volt industry, quality dash kits and harnesses have been associated unanimously with Scosche.

They also powder coat and texturize their kits to match the same specifications of OEM quality. When it comes to their wiring, Scosche uses true AWG (American Wire Gauge) to measure the proper gauge of their wire. This ensures the customer is paying for quality of product. On top of that, Scocche uses oxygen-free copper (OFC) compared to the competition that uses copper clad aluminum mix (CCA). Cutting corners in this industry can have disastrous results. Not using the right gauge of wire can cause an increase in resistance and permanently damage a customer’s amplifier. Having a dash kit manufactured from cheaply recycled ABS plastic can break, thus resulting in the radio
