The DocuCast is Titled “The Touch Alpine… 1st 15 Years” … available for streaming 12/12/25.

On-Board Engineering & Sales Inc., is ready to launch The Alpine Touch… 1st 15 year DocuCast”. The DocuCast (Pod-Cast presented in a Documentary format) will address Alpine Electronics of America’s first fifteen years of operation in the United States. “We’re going to share brand introduction details of how Alpine’s US based founding team was able to establish the framework onto which Alpine was able to grow”. Included will be historical facts focusing on three specific periods. Episode 1 will address the brand introduction in 1979, and follow key milestones until 1985. Episode 2 will do the same, but for 1986 to 1990. The final Episode will conclude the 15 Year journey ending in 1994.

Dave Black, former EVP and Alpine Board Member, along with Rich Coe former Asst VP of Technology, will be sharing their thoughts and stories regarding Marketing, Sales, Distribution and, of course, Product Development & Engineering. The stories will be shared from an “inside” perspective. Most of which have never been exposed. Rich and I promise many “AH HA” moments, successes and of course a few failures. We also will talk about Alpines co-branding relationship with Lamborghini, and how it helped establish Alpine’s branding is the USA. Additionally, will be sharing stories about how many of Alpine’s incredible products were conceived. The stories are powerful, and in some cases simply unbelievable. The fact that they come from the “inside the boardroom” is a rare opportunity to those who have an interest. In essence, “it’s A 15 year time capsule that’s almost 50 years old”, said Black. OBES developed a website to host the DocuCast and the Social Media expected. www.thealpinetouch.com

To help in the DocuCast celebration, OBES was granted permission from Alpine and Lamborghini to remaster 4 Iconic co-branding posters and offer them in an limited edition collect set for Alpine enthusiasts. Because this was such an extraordinary situation, OBES set an extremely high standard for the remastering process. In fact OBES was able to secure the support from Hahnemühle Paper Company, a 440 year old German paper manufacturer. Together OBES and Hahnemühle designers chose Hahnemühle Photo-Rag Metallic especially formulated for Fine-Art use. It’s a 100% cotton Paper with optical brighteners and is specified to last for 100+years.

Jan Wolfe, Hahnemühle’s President and CEO, stated that Alpine/Lamborghini visual reproductions deserve the investment. The remastered Fine-Art prints are simply extraordinary.

On-Board Engineering & Sales Inc., will to produce a limited quantity of Collector sets in two sizes. One for in home and the other for use where larger wall space is available. All prints are serialized and supported by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Alpine Management team from that era. Black said “We plan to support the collector sets until they are sold out”. OBES has no plans to reproduce them once they are gone. In fact, to help protect the Collector Print owners investment, “we will destroy the remastering IP” said Black. Confidential 12/12/2025

Wednesday, December 10th, 2025 - Oklahoma City, OK - DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products is proud to re-introduce the LSS-161 close field studio monitor, a foundational audio product in Digital Designs history. DD AUDIO has been working on the design and tooling of the components for over two years, refining every aspect and element for the newest version of these high definition bookshelf speakers to bring audiophile excellence to your home, office, or studio.

In the early 1980s, digital audio technologies were quietly reshaping the studio. With cleaner signal paths and a dramatically lower noise floor, recordings began to reveal textures and space. Soft passages breathed, transients rose and fell with intention, and the sound opened into something clearer. The refined dynamic presence in early digital reproductions changed listener expectations, setting the stage for an evolution that would redefine hi-fidelity.

In 1986, a young engineer in San Diego recognized what this shift in sound would demand. He staked his future on a simple philosophy: keep it True to the Source®. From that belief, Digital Designs was born, a company dedicated to building speakers capable of revealing this emerging clarity in full. This philosophy was the starting place in the engineering of the original LSS-161 close field monitor.

The LSS-161 was integral to the early success of Digital Designs, and almost 40 years after its introduction, it’s back, loaded with components based on the new C Series Woofer and Tweeter that are, at every level, high fidelity. In the upper range the tweeters produce a rich, airy feeling that reveals clear detail with every octave. In the midrange the woofers render vocals with distinctly natural and life-like character, while delivering band instruments and samplings with smooth layering. In the lower range you will be stunned by the clean, tight beats and be lulled by the rhythmic transient response.

In the LSS-161 bass reflex cabinet these components will produce musicality without ear fatigue and resolution without edge.

SmartKey Starter® Restores Remote Start Functionality for Mercedes-Benz Models Losing Mbrace Connectivity at End of 2025

Beginning Dec. 31, 2025, Mercedes-Benz will discontinue support for its legacy Mbrace system, resulting in the loss of factory-connected features. Mid City Engineering’s SmartKey Starter® provides a seamless, OEM-integrated way to restore remote start functionality for impacted owners. 

Mid City Engineering, a leading provider of innovative accessories for the luxury vehicle market since 2007, announced the release of an aftermarket solution designed for Mercedes-Benz vehicles affected by the upcoming Mbrace® telematics shutdown.

The SmartKey Starter® installs discreetly inside the vehicle using factory-style connectors and preserves all factory safety and security protocols. Ready for plug & play upgrades like the Compustar Drone®, Directed Smart Start®, Compustar extended range remotes, and DAS II security sensor for shock, tilt, glass break and tow sensing integrated into the OEM security.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does your remote start work with the factory key fob right away? Yes. It works with the OEM key fob by pressing the panic button, or by using lock–unlock–lock if no panic button is present. 

Can we add phone control? Absolutely. The Compustar Drone or Directed Smart Start® smartphone control modules interface directly with the SmartKey Starter® to provide remote start/stop, lock/unlock, tracking, vehicle status, and alerts.

Is there a subscription? For basic key fob remote start, no subscription is required. For full phone control with Drone, a subscription is required, but fees are much lower than typical OEM plans. Click here for full FAQ on our mbrace shutdown info page.

SmartKey Starter® (MSRP varies by model) – Compatible with popular Mercedes-Benz platforms ffected by the Mbrace shutdown, including:

● 2016 B Class
● 2016-2017 C Class Coupe and Sedan
● 2016 CLA
● 2016 CLS
● 2016 E Class Coupe, Cabriolet, and Sedan
● 2016 G Wagon
● 2016 GL
● 2016 GLC

Your car isn’t finished when it leaves the factory; so make it complete with Mid City Engineering’s innovative technologies.

New Products from Memphis Audio launched at SEMA

All New MOJO 15” Subwoofer - Bigger is Better

Memphis launched the 12” MJ1212 MOJO subwoofer earlier this year at KnowledgeFest to massive industry response. The immediate question everywhere was, “When are we getting a 15?” Memphis heard it loud and clear. The result made its public debut at SEMA 2025 — the new MJ1512 MOJO 15” subwoofer — bringing a larger footprint and increased output capability to the MOJO lineup.

MOJO has always been known as a high-output subwoofer, and this new version stays true to that reputation. The orange cast basket and large high-roll surround are a nod to earlier MOJO designs that Memphis fans still remember. The gloss carbon fiber dust cap keeps the cone rigid and lightweight while giving the woofer a clean, modern look in any enclosure.

A 300oz magnet drives a 4" aluminum voice coil, allowing the woofer to handle 2000W RMS / 4000W peak. The suspension delivers 25mm XMAX and 1.75" of real excursion, giving the MJ1512 serious air displacement. DVVC front and back plate venting helps keep temperatures in check, so the woofer performs consistently under heavy load.

The FLEX impedance system makes setup straightforward — switch between 1Ω and 2Ω just by moving a jumper plug. No guessing, no complicated wiring diagrams.

“The new MOJO 15 is everything people love about MOJO, just turned up,” said Nick LoMonaco, President of Memphis Audio. “We focused on keeping the moving mass light while increasing power handling and cooling. The result is a sub that’s brutally efficient, stays cool when pushed, and still sounds clean doing it. This thing moves serious air.”

The MOJO 15" is built to hit hard and keep hitting. It’s a big, strong, high-displacement woofer for builds that demand output. It moves a ton of air, stays cool when you lean on it, and carries the unmistakable MOJO attitude that Memphis is known for.

The MJ1212 is expected to arrive Q1 2026.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Model: MJ1512
• RMS / Peak: 2000W / 4000W
• Sensitivity: 86dB (1Ω or 2Ω)
• Magnet: 300oz
• Voice Coil: 4" Aluminum
• Mounting Depth: 9.06"
• Cutout Diameter: 13.81"

MJP2000.1 — Unleash the Power 

Memphis expanded the MOJO Pro amplifier lineup with the release of the all-new MJP2000.1, a serious mono amplifier built to deliver clean, controlled power for demanding subwoofer systems. Following the success of the MJP1000.1, MJP1500.1, and MJP3000.1, this new model hits the sweet spot in the series — providing a true 2000W RMS at 1Ω with rock-solid stability and the tuning flexibility MOJO Pro amps are known for.

The MJP2000.1 carries forward the same bold look and bulletproof construction that define the MOJO Pro line. Its extruded aluminum chassis with exposed aluminum edges and the signature orange accent strip makes it instantly recognizable as Memphis. Under the hood, precision engineering and pro-level controls make it easy to dial in tight, accurate bass.

This amplifier features 12dB/octave Butterworth crossovers, variable crossovers, and a variable EQ bass boost, giving installers the control they need to fine-tune performance. The MJP2000.1 is strap-able, allowing two amps to be linked together for extreme power setups. A bass knob is included for convenient level control from the driver’s seat.

Power ratings come in at:

• 830W x1 @ 4Ω RMS
• 1500W x1 @ 2Ω RMS

“The MJP2000.1 is all about delivering serious power with precision,” said Nick LoMonaco, President of Memphis Audio. “We wanted to build an amp that can pair perfectly with high-performance subs like a pair of the new VIV1212 subs or a MJ1512. MOJO Pro amps are built to push big power reliably, play clean and run hard.”

The MJP2000.1 pairs perfectly with a range of Memphis high powered subwoofers making it the ideal choice for enthusiasts who want true output without sacrificing control or sound quality.

MJMERAM8D1V3 – Serious Bass For Ram Trucks

Memphis expanded its truck enclosure lineup with the introduction of the new MJMERAM8D1V3, a dual 8” Mini MOJO enclosure engineered specifically for 2002–2018 Ram Crew Cab trucks. Designed to fit seamlessly under the rear seat, this precision-built enclosure delivers deep, powerful bass tuned for the unique acoustics of Ram interiors.

The MJMERAM8D1V3 comes loaded with dual 8" MOJO Mini subwoofers, tuned in an oversized side-ported vented design to produce hard-hitting, accurate low-end output that performs far beyond expectations for an underseat enclosure. The Memphis-branded bedliner finish gives it a rugged, durable appearance that blends perfectly with the Ram’s factory interior.

Installation is simple thanks to included ½” seat spacers, which lift the rear seat just enough to fit the enclosure without any permanent modifications. The two-piece split enclosure design makes shipping and installation easier than ever, while protective high-excursion grills keep the subs safe from daily wear.

With a 1-ohm final impedance and power handling rated at 1800W RMS / 3600W peak, the MJMERAM8D1V3 brings the unmistakable MOJO punch to the truck market — clean, loud, and built to last.

“This enclosure brings the full MOJO experience to Ram owners without the hassle of custom fabrication,” said Nick LoMonaco, President of Memphis Audio. “The Mini MOJO subs hit with serious authority, and this box is tuned perfectly to make the most of that power. It’s clean, powerful, and installs like it came from the factory. We made the decision to split the enclosure into two separate pieces to lower shipping costs and prevent damage during transit — without sacrificing any performance.”

Its top-mounted controls are neatly hidden beneath a removable panel, keeping the design clean and professional while allowing quick access for tuning adjustments.

Built for control and clarity, the amplifier includes 12dB/octave Butterworth crossovers, a variable 0–12dB EQ boost, and an 18dB subsonic filter to dial in precise sound performance.

Power ratings come in at:

75W x4 + 400W x1 @ 4Ω RMS

125W x4 + 700W x1 @ 2Ω RMS

Memphis’ FLEX Selectable Impedance Technology gives installers total control, with the single 12" enclosure configurable to 1Ω, 2Ω, or 4Ω, and the dual enclosure to 0.5Ω, 1Ω, or 2Ω—perfect for matching any amplifier setup.

“These new PRX enclosures look absolutely killer,” said Nick LoMonaco, President of Memphis Audio. “The LED woofers and glowing Memphis logo give them that full custom feel, and the new port flare makes them sound as good as they look. Plus, everyone knows LED lighting adds at least 3–6 dB of output—it’s science.
