The Industry's #1 Resource


Knoxville, TN: Systematic Holdings is proud to announce their return to SEMA with a pair of booths. XS Power, JY Power, Sundown Audio and Lithium Pros can be found in the North Hall, Booth 10829. TurboStart Batteries is located in the Central Hall’s “Hot Rod Alley”, Booth 24498.

Made for the motorcycle and UTV’s market, the XS Power SS30 Sodium Safe Powersports Battery delivers 50-amp hours at 15.8 volts, and a class-leading 25 amp hours of power at 13.8 volts. Easily mounted in saddlebags, the top case of a bike or battery compartment of a UTV, the SS30 includes five-point distribution for easy accessory connections. Capacity doubles when attached to a 14-volt Lithium Ion charger, for high power use while parked.

The Sundown Audio Z8 eight-inch subwoofer is highlighted in the SEMA booth this year. Featuring a triple-stacked 190mm magnet, Megaroll v.3 surround and a carbon-impregnated pulp cone, the subwoofer is rated at 2,000-watts RMS.

A unique set of fins are integrated into the patented Z8 frame. “The new frame has heat sinks on the inside and outside,” explains Sundown Founder Jake Fuller. “The external heat sinks connect to the top plate, so it’s a direct thermal transfer. The inside has a set of fins as well – they’re specially contoured so the spider drives air at high speed to dissipate heat.”

The newest member of the Systematic family, Lithium Pros will feature the N series of networked lithium batteries. Equipped with compatible NEMA networked devices, the status of the battery is easily visible at a glance on boats and RV’s. Additional functionality is possible in industrial applications, with custom programming available by Lithium Pro’s in-house team. Using an NMEA 2000 interface installed on the battery, the protocol allows the network to see voltage state of charge, current, temperature, time remaining, and error messages all on-screen.

JY Power’s featured battery in the SEMA New Product Showcase is the NXT-6KW, as well as in the Systematic booth. “It’s the newest thing in the NXT lineup. The line is known for its reliability and ease of use on all charging systems,” says Travis Young, JY’s Founder and now Systematic’s Chief Innovation Officer. “The NXT-6KW is a Sodium Ion battery, with up to a 6,000-watt power capacity. It can be drained down to 0 volts and still be recharged. We went to sodium for it’s lower cost of ownership and improved safety.”

Serving the racing, restomod and classic car community, TurboStart features a host of 12 and 16-volt batteries, chargers and supercapacitors. For those recreating a “factory original” look, TurboStart features 6 and 12-volt batteries for a 33-39 Ford, 60-73 Ford, 56-60 Corvette, 65-74 Chrysler and many more. Visit Booth 24498 in Hot Rod Alley for more details.

STILLWATER, USA – KICKER® will return to Slamology – one of the largest car-audio events in the country, and roll up in the 80-foot XRV (Xtreme Recreational Vehicle) tractor-trailer to a reserved space along “Audio Vendor Row.”  The outrageous JY Power™ “Cube” delivery truck will also be showing its 60,000-watt KICKER system throughout the weekend. The show runs June 8-9 at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis.

The massive XRV showroom sports a new wrap and displays the full line of hands-on, KICKER audio gear. Under the XRV’s awning, KICKER install specialist Tim Smith will show his custom ’94 Chevy® C1500 and its audio system featuring an SSV Works™ MRB3 media controller, a pair of KICKER Q-Class 5-channel amplifiers, Q-Class speakers and CompRT® slim subwoofers.

In support of KICKER, the revamped JY Power Cube will draw crowds in the JY Power booth, showing off its prototype battery system that’s one-third the size of the original lithium power bank. The cells power the 60,000-watt KICKER system built to “demo” at extreme volumes.  The converted delivery truck features 40 Q-Class L7® 15-inch subwoofers powered by 20 2,400-watt KICKER amplifiers. The incredible ride also includes 12 KICKER weather-resistant amps powering 162 eight-inch coaxial speakers revealing glowing LEDs. 

Additionally near the XRV will be Hunter Martin’s Q-Class-equipped, Ford® Super Duty F-350 pickup truck.  Martin, a JY Power custom fabricator, installed Q-Class point-source speakers in the doors and a CompRT 10-inch loaded subwoofer enclosure for bass. 

“It images incredibly well,” said Travis Young, co-founder of JY Power. “The CompRT enclosure (with the Reflex™ passive subwoofer) fills out the bottom end beautifully.”

Martin’s F350 uses a Q-Class 5-channel amplifier and attached KICKER IQI™ Interface to the system for remote tuning capabilities.

Team SPLoud founder Andy Magill will feature “Cookie Monster” in the KICKER booth as well. In addition to KICKER door speakers, the Mitsubishi® Eclipse™ is equipped with an astounding KICKER SoloX™ 18-inch subwoofer, powered by a single KICKER KX2400.1 amplifier. Magill started the SPL (sound-pressure level) organization “Team SPLoud” and a social-media group of the same name.

In its 16th year, Slamology is billed as a “family-friendly, yet edgy” event by Donnie Babb, the show organizer and founder. USACi, MECA, IASCA and dB Drag Racing will all conduct multi-point, car-audio competitions at the show.

“We wanted a way to connect with our readers at Gauge Magazine and have a weekend-long party,” said Babb.
