Monday, August 25th, 2025 - Oklahoma City, OK - DD AUDIO^®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products is proud to introduce the new SS6000 and SS9000 Full Range Monoblock Amplifiers, rated for 6000 watts and 9000 watts continuous at 1 Ohm respectively. Like with the previously released SS3000, these new models combine full-bridge architecture and high current devices typically reserved for half bridge amps. This hybrid approach provides full range performance and speed with big, clean power output, all packed into a highly efficient, compact chassis. Pro audio systems, like stunt walls loaded with mid-woofers and high-frequency drivers, will benefit greatly from the low noise floor. Big bass systems will binge on the high wattage output to hammer out one barrage of low frequency passages after another.

The SS amplifiers have earned a reputation as high speed, high current, class D designs offering big power and superior sound quality in compact footprints. As with all DD amps, every major component is name-brand. The SS6000 comes with QUAD toroidal transformers while the SS9000 is loaded with SIX-PACK and they both use higher current mosfets and oversized power capacitors, all on a thermally robust PCB. The housing includes multiple discrete vents and DD AUDIO’s classic heat sink which includes 50% more side wall thickness than industry norms and extra long fins to increase surface area for maximum cooling.

These new high-end, compact amps are state of the art, no compromise designs yielding the best sound with unparalleled power to size ratio. The transformation is physically tangible and audibly undeniable.

Shop at your local Authorized DD AUDIO Dealer or online at www.ddaudio.com for the SS6000 and SS9000 Full-Range Monoblock Amplifiers.

On Aug, 24, Modus Engineering Wizard Tony D’Amore Will Be Part of a Panel Discussing the

Myths, Obstacles, and Solutions for Installing High-End Audio Solutions in Modern Electric Vehicles

Oxnard, Calif., Aug. 21, 2025 – Modus is proud to announce that their lead engineerTony D’Amore will be part of the panel discussion “EV Reality Check” during the upcoming Electrify Expo in San Francisco, held at Alameda Point Aug. 23-24. D’Amore will discuss the myths, obstacles, and solutions for installing high-end audio systems in modern electric vehicles with Matt Teske (Chargeway) and Dario Pagani (Autel Energy) on Aug. 24 at 1:30pm.

Modus will also have its award-winning 2024 Tesla Cybertruck build on display during the event.

“Electrify Expo is the ideal event to discuss how our technology is changing the idea that having a high-end audio system in today’s electric vehicles is not possible,” said D’Amore. “Our award-winning technology has achieved several industry firsts, and we are looking forward to discussing how we were able to execute those results. We will also educate the industry’s consumer and manufacturer sides on what solutions can be utilized and installed right now.”

The misconception that premium audio is merely a luxury add-on overlooks EVs' revolutionary potential. These vehicles offer something combustion engines never could: silent cabins paired with abundant electrical power, creating an unprecedented opportunity for truly immersive, audiophile-grade sound systems.

“At Electrify Expo, the EV Reality Check Stage was created to tackle and debunk the myths that slow the adoption towards electric vehicles,” said BJ Birtwell, CEO and founder of Electrify Expo. “It’s a place where skeptics, shoppers, and industry leaders come together to challenge assumptions and explore the practical benefits of going electric. We’re excited to welcome Modus to the stage in San Francisco as part of that mission, bringing fresh perspectives on how EVs deliver an unmatched user experience.”

The panel discussion points will include:

• Quiet Cabins Reveal the Music: EVs offer near silence and that exposes audio flaws more sharply than combustion vehicles ever could.
• PREACT Amplification Makes a Difference: Modus’s efficiency-driven amplification architecture enables high-output audio (such as 6,000 watts RMS in the Cybertruck) without drain or external batteries.
• Vehicle Architecture Dictates Design: The 48V systems in EVs make traditional audio installations obsolete. Innovators need to rethink power, packaging, and integration.
• Emotion Through Sound: Sculpting treble and bass performance gives drivers a visceral experience which lifts boring drives into memorable moments.
• Pro Installers Get It Right: Helping techs and dealers understand EV-specific audio needs is essential. You train teams to deliver consistent, high-impact installs.

The EV Reality Check Stage is where local experts speak on topics that matter to EV shoppers and skeptics alike: charging, range, cost, grid concerns, and more. The format is fast-paced and conversational, designed to feel like a live podcast. No slides or formal presentations, just real talk that helps the audience walk away informed.

Cybertruck Build at Electrify Expo in San Francisco

Expo Takes Place Aug. 23-24 in Alameda Point; Install Showcases Revolutionary 48V Audio System Technology, Marking a Significant Advancement in Mobile Audio Integration with Electric Vehicles 

Oxnard, Calif., Aug. 19, 2025 – Fresh on the heels of a successful Electrify Expo in Redmond, Wash, Modus will once again feature its new 2024 Tesla Cybertruck build at the upcoming Electrify Expo in San Francisco, held at Alameda Point Aug. 23-24.

“We knew Electrify Expo would be an ideal event to feature our Cybertruck, and the result exhibiting in Redmond was better than we had hoped for,” said Jason Digos, Modus Senior Sales Trainer. “This install has achieved several industry firsts, which went over incredibly well during the expo. We expect just as terrific a reaction when we exhibit in San Francisco.”

Fabricator Jaren Digos of Delta Concepts collaborated on the install, which demonstrates Modus' innovative PREACT Current Averaging Technology operating directly on Tesla's 48V DC electrical system, marking a significant advancement in mobile audio integration with electric vehicles. Engineering wizards Tony D’Amore and Juan Rodriguez will be on hand during the expo to discuss their new patented current averaging technologies.

The installation is capable of 6,000 watts (RMS) of audio power without requiring voltage inverters or additional batteries, a first for any EV audio system. This achievement was made possible through Modus' patented PREACT technology in the new Mezzo amplifier line, which operates with unprecedented efficiency at higher voltages.

The build features the first-ever Cybertruck “blow-through” subwoofer design. Four 12-inch Modus Apex AXW-12 subwoofers are housed in a 7.5 cubic foot ported enclosure, integrated into the vehicle's “vault” and ported directly into the cabin. This design maintains the Cybertruck's utility while delivering exceptional bass response.

The amplifier installation, housed in the “frunk", consists of two 8-channel MZA-8 and two MZA-1 mono amplifiers mounted on a custom-fabricated steel rack. The rack is secured to existing factory mounting points and includes current and voltage meters, allowing real-time monitoring of the system's power consumption.

Perhaps most notable is the system's wiring. The minimal current draw and high input voltage efficiency allowed the use of 14AWG power and ground wire to the amplifiers, which is a significant departure from traditional high-power audio systems that require much larger gauge wiring.

The Modus Cybertruck debuted during the Modus brand launch event in March 2025. It will be featured in additional upcoming industry events and technical demonstrations throughout 2025, showcasing the practical applications of Modus' breakthrough technologies in the emerging electric vehicle market.

RDVFL’s Game-Changing Approach to Car Audio: Upgrading the Source Unit Without Replacing the Radio

In the world of car audio upgrades, the traditional route has always been the same: if you want better features—think Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, enhanced navigation, or a sleeker interface—you need to replace your entire head unit. That often means pulling out the factory radio, dealing with complicated wiring harnesses, and sacrificing the OEM look and feel. But RDVFL is challenging that norm with an innovative, unconventional approach that’s turning heads in the aftermarket audio scene.

The RDVFL Revolution: Keep Your Radio, Upgrade Your Screen

RDVFL’s cutting-edge system focuses on upgrading only the screen while retaining the factory radio. This method bypasses the costly and labor-intensive process of full radio replacement, offering a seamless blend of advanced functionality and OEM integration. It's a smart solution that redefines how car audio upgrades are done.

Here’s how it works: RDVFL’s retrofit kits replace the vehicle’s original screen with a high-resolution touchscreen display packed with modern features. The factory radio remains untouched, maintaining its core functionality and compatibility with the car’s electronics. The new screen then serves as the main interface for features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HD video playback, and more.

Why It’s a Big Deal

1. Preserves OEM Integration: Since the original radio stays in place, all factory features—steering wheel controls, backup cameras, and other vehicle settings—remain fully functional. No compatibility issues. No compromises.

2. Simplified Installation: Compared to replacing an entire head unit, installing RDVFL’s screen-based solution is far less invasive. This not only reduces labor costs but also minimizes the risk of causing issues with sensitive data systems.

3. Aesthetic Continuity: One of the biggest drawbacks of aftermarket radios is their tendency to clash with the car’s interior design. RDVFL’s screens are designed to match the look and layout of factory components, giving you a modern upgrade that feels like it came straight from the manufacturer.

4. Advanced Features Without the Price Tag: By skipping the full head unit replacement, RDVFL offers a cost-effective way to add high-end features. The result? More tech, less expense.

5. Vehicle-Specific Fitment: Unlike universal units that require custom fabrication, RDVFL’s products are vehicle-specific, ensuring a perfect fit every time.

Who It’s For

RDVFL’s upgrade path is perfect for drivers who want the best of both worlds: cutting-edge infotainment and the reliability of their existing factory setup. It’s especially ideal for leaseholders, luxury vehicle owners, or anyone looking to avoid the hassle of complex modifications.

A Look to the Future

As vehicles become increasingly integrated and software-driven, the demand for non-invasive upgrades will only grow. RDVFL is leading the charge with a fresh philosophy: that innovation doesn’t always mean replacement—it can mean enhancement.

In a world where “out with the old, in with the new” has been the norm, RDVFL proves there’s another way. And it's not just smart—it's revolutionary.

Wednesday, August 6th, 2025 - Oklahoma City, OK - DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products is proud to introduce the all new SL700 Series. This line of Shallow, Hi-Def Tuned Subwoofers feature rigid low-mass cones, strong dual layered spiders, highly compressed EROM surrounds and a high-temp 3 inch voice coil that hits hard, low and fast. They use recently developed shallow cast frames coupled to high energy motors, perfect for compact enclosures. Above all, these are soft-suspension, sound quality subs made to play with audible musicality.

The SL700s have inherited most of their design attributes from the venerable Voice Optimized W700 woofers. Those VO-Ws were released to be low frequency woofers, filling in the mid-to-bass gap, but they had very heavy motors making them less than ideal for some locations, such as doors. More often than not, they were being used by customers as sound quality subwoofers in smaller, sealed enclosures. The issue of motor weight was solved with the introduction of the new neo driven VO-WN700 woofers, but the demand for a companion subwoofer had been established with the W700s popularity, giving rise to the SL700s with a slightly reduced ferrite motor diameter for broader applications, and the added inclusion of a 15 inch option.

These Hi-Def Shallow Subwoofers are a throwback to the DD9000/DD4500 era, designed for exceptional efficiency, producing smooth bass from smaller enclosures tuned to play any kind of music that system is geared toward, with a bandwidth capable of striking tonal perfection from 30 to 300Hz. Perfect for shallow, sealed enclosures, these can be made to fit behind truck seats, in motorcycle bags, off-road side by sides, and more.

Shop at your local Authorized DD AUDIO Dealer or online for the 10 inch, 12 inch, and 15 inch SL700 Hi-Def Shallow Subwoofers.

TAMPA, Fla. (July 28, 2025) – DOW Technologies, the leading independently owned technology distributor, recently wrapped up the first quarter of its Rewards+ program with a bang! Customers who participated are receiving their well-earned rebate checks this week. One lucky winner got a surprise delivery when DOW’s president and ceo, John Yodzis, hand-delivered the first quarterly lottery check on Tuesday, July 22.

Launched on April 1st, DOW’s Rewards+ program gives customers the chance to earn up to 5% back on their purchases of Red Atom brand products each quarter. The more a customer buys, the higher the percentage of the rebate. Members of DOW’s Smart Services program earn a percentage boost for their rebates. Qualifying purchases totaling $500 or more throughout the quarter also enter customers into a growing jackpot lottery, funded by a percentage of Red Atom sales throughout the quarter.

In just its first quarter, DOW paid out over $8,000 in rebates — and the jackpot for the Rewards+ lottery hit a massive $10,125.59. Fortech LLC of Chattanooga, TN, was the big winner, and John Yodzis personally delivered the check to mark the occasion in style.

“We’re very happy with the results from this first quarter of Rewards+,” said Drew Fischer, vice president, home integration and specialty sales. “Our goal with this program is to put cash back in the pockets of the customers that are loyal to our Red Atom brand.

Founder of Maxxsonics USA Hands Day-to-Day Reins to Brian Sherman.

Libertyville, IL – After a storied career spanning nearly five decades, Alden Stiefel, a true pioneer of the 12-volt audio and security industry, is stepping down as CEO of Maxxsonics USA and moving into the role of Chairman of the Board. Brian Sherman, longtime Vice President of Product and Marketing, will assume the role of President effective July 8th.

Alden’s journey began in the 1970s with a small retail store and evolved into a career that shaped and elevated some of the most respected brands in the industry. He rose through the ranks to become Executive Vice President of Clifford Electronics during its heyday, playing a central role in building one of the most iconic automotive security brands of the 1980s and 1990s. Later in his career, he co-founded Avital, helping to redefine vehicle security and remote start technology for a new generation.

In the aftermath of 9/11— a time when most were pulling back — Stiefel doubled down on his belief in the power of innovation and launched Maxxsonics USA. What started as a bold idea during one of the most uncertain weeks in American history quickly grew into a global audio powerhouse, home to iconic brands like MB Quart, Hifonics, Crunch, and Autotek.

“It’s been a wild, rewarding ride — from selling car audio at retail to shaping product strategy at the executive level,” said Stiefel. “Starting Maxxsonics during such a turbulent time was a risk, but I believed in our vision, our team, and this industry. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built.”

Stiefel has guided Maxxsonics through more than two decades of growth, weathering economic cycles, evolving technology, and changing consumer behavior — always with a focus on passion, quality, and loyalty. Under his leadership, Maxxsonics became a trusted OEM partner for top names like Polaris®, Kawasaki, and CFMOTO, while never losing touch with its
aftermarket roots.

“Alden’s legacy in the 12-volt world is unmatched,” said Brian Sherman. “He’s not just built companies — he’s built careers, friendships, and an industry culture defined by creativity and integrity. I’m honored to carry that legacy forward.”

Though stepping back from daily operations, Stiefel will continue to play an active role in guiding the strategic direction of Maxxsonics as Chairman of the Board.

“This isn’t goodbye — I’m just shifting gears,” Stiefel added. “I’ll still be involved, supporting Brian and the team however I can. The next chapter for Maxxsonics is bright, and I’m excited to see it unfold.”
