Indianapolis-based speaker maker now owned by Voxx International posted year-end sales of $169.5 million, which appeared to be flat compared with prior periods.

The order enables the Indianapolis speaker maker to disable the websites where the suspected knockoffs are sold and allows it to restrain the funds of the accused.

Klipsch Group parent company Voxx International Corp. said its earnings nearly doubled in its fiscal third quarter, thanks in part to the Indianapolis-based speaker maker it acquired last year.

Audiovox's CEO credited Klipsch with helping Audiovox report strong financials Tuesday. Audiovox completed its purchase of the Indianapolis speaker maker in March.

Indy Audio Labs is shipping its first finished product and had it certified by THX Ltd., the gold standard in consumer electronics, in time for a major industry trade show this month.

Audiovox Corp., the Hauppauge, N.Y.-based company that recently bought the high-end audio firm Klipsch Group, hopes to use the $167 million deal to win over Wall Street.

Longtime Klipsch Group executive Paul Jacobs will take the helm, giving the Indianapolis company its first leader not named Klipsch.

Klipsch will become a subsidiary of Audiovox and operate as a stand-alone operation in Indianapolis under the leadership of the current management team, Audiovox said.

Audiovox said in a statement, though, that the deal is "subject to a number of contingencies." Indianapolis-based Klipsch was founded in 1945 and has 130 local employees.

An upstart audio products company with offices at Purdue Research Park at AmeriPlex has brought in big guns to launch sales.

Making money in earphones will require higher sales volumes, but Klipsch CEO Fred Klipsch thinks there are plenty more consumers left for his company to tap.

Two former Klipsch Group engineers plan to return to the market a brand of amplifiers famous among audio enthusiasts. Indy Audio Labs, owned by Rick Santiago and Ted Moore, bought the Aragon and Acurus brands of amps, pre-amps and sound processors from Klipsch and are planning a 2010 launch.
