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.”

BOSS Audio Systems invites attendees to booth 617 to witness their robust product portfolio at KnowledgeFest 2024. For more information about BOSS Audio Systems, please visit www.bossaudio.com.

Oxnard, Ca 5/18/2024 Boss Audio to sponsor a seminar in the sales track of the upcoming Knowledgefest show, which is being held in Atlantic City, NJ June 7-9 2024. The seminar, titled “The Profit Funnel” which will be delivered by Jon Kowanetz of Pathways Coaching & Consulting, aims to provide a solution to several struggles that 12 volt retailers often face such as; finding qualified salespeople, presenting consistent value to customers, being able to offer predictable results and optimizing inventory turnover and profitability.

By sharing a proven method for systematizing the sales process in such a way that can be easily learned, easily taught and easily implemented, Kowanetz says “Anybody who comes to this class will leave with a blueprint for how to create their own unique selling systems that can guide not only in store interactions, but online sales as well, increasing both customer and employee satisfaction, as well as revenue and profit.” Because the retailer populates the system with their own chosen products and qualifying questions, Jon added “what you end upwith is an efficient selling system that is authentic to the DNA and language of the store, rather than just another sales pitch that customers can see right through.”

The last time that Boss sponsored this presentation, at the Las Vegas Knowledgefest event in February, it was the highest rated class in the sales track with attendees saying that it changed the way they look at their sales process and instantly improved their profitability upon implementation.

In keeping with their initiative to support positive growth within the industry, Boss contracted Pathways to deliver the same value to the inaugural Atlantic City event for which record attendance is expected.

The presentation “The Profit Funnel” will be delivered at 10:40 am on Friday, June 7th 2024 in the Avalon 8 room in the Harrah’s Resort & Convention Center.

Oklahoma City, OK, April 12, 2024 -- DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products for the masses, is proud to announce they will be partnering with the Black Wall Street Rally for a third consecutive year. BWSR will be held May 17th and 18th, 2024 in Tulsa Oklahoma’s historic Greenwood District and DD AUDIO will be attending as the Official Presenting Sponsor of the Sound Off Competition hosted by Kustom Wings at the BMX Stadium. In addition, DD AUDIO will have demo bikes and audio installation onsite so attendees can experience superior motorcycle audio at the event and on the ride home.

Visitors can also enjoy the attendance and support of many vendors like DD AUDIO and King’s Kustoms Car Stereo & Security. Together they will be offering demos, professional advice, onsite installations, and more.

The Greenwood District was once characterized by bustling streets with hotels, theaters, doctors offices, restaurants, nightlife establishments and more. As one of the most prosperous African-American communities in the United States, the district would earn the name, “Black Wall Street”. On May 31, 1921 a white mob attacked black residents and destroyed homes and businesses of the Greenwood District. The Tulsa Race Riot, as it's now known, is considered the single worst incident of racial violence in American history. The Black Wall Street Rally keeps the memory of the prosperous times alive while shining a light on the atrocities that occurred there just over 100 years ago with a motorcycle inspired event held in the historic Greenwood District. The rally will not condone any form of racism, sexism, intolerance, anti-Semitism, white supremacy or hate speech.

Heise LED lighting by connecting one of these adapters at the end of an LED strip or in-line at any point in the harness by simply cutting the strip or extension cable connector, soldering the adapter's male and female connectors, and inserting wiring for a Y adapter, rock light, or other Heise lighting product. Four new options are available:

This adapter retains your factory dome light in the soundbar location, and the replacement grilles feature a factory-style textured finish with a custom-stamped metal grille for a stylish look.

Lower Dash Speaker Grille Cut-ins

Metra's new JP-1020 left and right lower dash speaker grille cut-ins enhance the appearance of 2024-up* Jeep® Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT interiors when installing aftermarket speakers. They allow installers to widen the factory 4-inch opening to accommodate an upgrade to 6-inch to 6.75-inch speakers for more vivid sound while adding a bold style. These speaker covers feature a gloss black metal mesh grille with silver accents and perfectly complement the previously released JP-1017 dashboard speaker covers and the new JP-1014 dash speaker pods.

6"- 6.75" Lower Dash Speaker Pods

The new JP-1014 replacement speaker pods are designed to replace the original 4” speaker pods located under the driver and passenger side of the dashboard in the 2018-up* Jeep® Wrangler and 2020-up* Gladiator. Each pair of pods has an ABS housing that utilizes the factory mounting locations for a secure fit that will heighten the listening experience. They are installed using the factory grommet and wiring, and a Metra 12" speaker adapter harness is included.

Dashboard Speaker Grilles

Metra's popular JP-1017 is a set of custom-designed dashboard speaker grilles designed to enhance the interior appearance of select Jeeps® when installing aftermarket speakers. They are designed to fit the 2018-up* Wrangler JL and the 2020-up* Gladiator JT and allow speakers to be upgraded to a larger tweeter or mid-bass speaker for a more vivid sound. These speaker grilles feature a black metal grille with bold silver accents that match this year’s new JP-1020 lower dash speaker cut-ins, ensuring they complement each other perfectly.

Add-A-Sub Interface

Part of its existing product line, Metra's AXSUB-CH8 add-a-sub interface fits amplified and non-amplified 2021-up* Chrysler models, including Jeep® Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT. It is installed at the radio location and features a 2-channel non-fading 5V RMS output, a fixed low pass frequency of 234Hz, and 250mA remote turn-on output. It includes a bass knob & vehicle-specific harness for easy installation and customization.

DSP-X Package with T-Harness

The AXDSPX-CH8 is a DSP-X package with T-harness that fits 2020-up* Chrysler models, including Jeep® Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT. This previously introduced product in Metra's line offers installers a fast, cost-effective solution for improving the sound system with ten individually assigned output channels, the ability to password-protect your settings, and an easy-to-use smartphone app. It has an onboard digital amplifier turn-on capability with built-in technology to retain many of the vehicle's features commonly lost when installing a DSP.

Holly Hill, FL – November 5, 2024 – Install Bay® by Metra Electronics® will display new additions to its comprehensive collection of professional installation products at SEMA, November 5th to 8th at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Visitors can see these new products in Metra's main booth, #10439, in the North Hall and at its off-roading and powersports booth, #24743, in the Central Hall. The brand will debut a new 120 series SB® connector kit, flush mount USB type-C charging socket, a level controller with voltmeter, extension cables, cable management clamp sets, window tint installation tools, and more.

120 Series SB® Connector Kit

The SB120-G is a gray connector housing kit, ideal for use on battery or charger applications, that provides a quick disconnect for power distribution systems. It is designed using reliable SB® flat-wiping

contact technology so that the contacts wipe or slide against each other during connection and disconnection, minimizing the build-up of any non-conductive deposits on the contacts themselves. The mated housings are color-matched for easy identification of plug and receptacle connectors.

Flush Mount USB Type-C Charging Socket

The IBR142 socket provides fast charging for smartphones, tablets, and other devices with a Type-C port. The PD3.0 power supply standard ensures a faster battery charge than traditional USB chargers and prevents devices from draining while in use. It can be installed by mounting it within a port in the vehicle's dash or center console or mounting it to the dash surface with the supplied flush-mount bracket. This socket features weather-resistant components, including a protective cover and a pre-wired mini-ATC fuse holder, making it an ideal solution for marine applications.

Level Controller with Voltmeter

The IBR143 is a level controller with a built-in voltmeter that prevents damage to a vehicle's audio equipment. It combines a power switch, bass knob, and voltmeter, making it easy to adjust the bass level and consistently monitor amplifier voltage to avoid drops or spikes. This unit offers remote gain control, a rotary pushable ON/OFF switch, and a digital voltmeter display.

Flush Mount USB 4.0 Type-C Extension Cables

Available in 1-meter (IBR144) or 1-foot (IBR145) lengths, Install Bay's new USB 4.0 Type-C extension cables can be installed by feeding through a port in the dash or by mounting beneath the dash with the supplied flush-mount bracket to easily connect USB-C devices. USB 4.0 is the latest specification of USB, offering data transfer speeds up to 40Gbps to ensure reliable CarPlay® and Android™ audio performance.

100-Piece Modular Cable Management Clamp Sets

The Install Bay has two new modular cable management clamp sets in 8GA to 4GA (IBCTKIT75) or 4GA to 1/0GA (IBCTKIT100). These cable clamp sets make it easy for installers to secure and organize wiring for show-quality audio installations. The included cable clamps feature a unique dovetail click-lock design that attaches single or bundled wires to surfaces and allows multiple clamps to be assembled in creative configurations, keeping wires evenly spaced in straight runs or around corners.

Window Tint, PPF, Vinyl, and Film Installation Tools

New hard cards and specialized scrubbing tools for tint and film installers will be at SEMA. The cherry suede blade tool (GT2097-4) and lemon suede blade tool (GT2096-4) are multipurpose card-shaped installation tools with both hard and soft edges. They each offer their own level of flexibility and contour to surfaces to smooth bumps and bubbles from materials. The GT2003PLT is a platinum easy-reach hard card designed to reach difficult corners. The tint installer's scrubber tool, the GT209, has a 15-inch handle that extends its scrub pad, allowing installers to scrub the lower windshield and other hard-to-reach areas. The scrub-it blue pad (GT2120B) is an ergonomic scrubbing tool that attaches to an installer's hand with an included hook-and-loop style strap for easier scrubbing of stubborn glue and contaminants.

The Install Bay's new products also include UV-stable interior protection tape, bulk roll black speaker acoustic grille cloth ideal for custom fabrication and speaker grille repair, and more. Additional product information is available at theInstallBay.com.
