New mono-block amps pair with Hi-Res Audio amplifiers and multimedia receivers

LONG BEACH, CALIF., January 18, 2018 (MEDIAWIRE) – With the release of new Hi-Res Audio amplifiers, KENWOOD has introduced a series of subwoofer and mono-block amplifiers that both complement the new products and provide better integration options for system designers. Two subwoofer amplifiers, a powered subwoofer, and a versatile woofer that can be had with or without an enclosure make up the 2018 offerings.

With an MSRP of $450, the KENWOOD eXcelon XR601-1 is a single-channel power amplifier that is rated at 600 watts at two ohms. Its more powerful partner, the KENWOOD eXcelon XR1001-1, rates 1,000 watts at two ohms and carries an MSRP of $650. Both feature speaker-level and low-level inputs, include a bass control knob and are scheduled to ship this month.

The new KSC-PSW8 amplified subwoofer features an eight-inch driver and 250-watt max amplifier in an enclosure suited for simpler installs under a truck’s rear bench seats. MSRP for the KSC-PSW8 is $350 and it will also ship this month.

For custom installs, the KENWOOD eXcelon XR-W804 handles 300 watts RMS through its single four-ohm input. It features a new, evenly dispersed spider to improve durability and an oversized diaphragm for lower frequency response. Despite the larger diaphragm, the speaker is designed to fit into a standard 8-inch subwoofer opening. Shipping this month, the XR-W804 has an MSRP of $180. It will also ship as the KENWOOD eXcelon P-XW804B in a down-firing, vented subwoofer enclosure with an MSRP of $230.

“Integration is the driving force of our industry,” said Tony Mercado, marketing manager for the KENWOOD brand. “As we build products to fit more vehicle applications, it only makes sense that our subwoofers and subwoofer amplifiers follow suit. Our new, low-profile amplifiers carry the same look as our Hi-Res Audio amplifiers, giving installers more system design options, whether the intent is show or stealth.”

Holly Hill, Fla. – December 3, 2019 – Metra Electronics®, the leading manufacturer of aftermarket automotive solutions, has improved its Raptor® car audio accessory line with upgraded products launching at CES. Raptor’s Pro Series product line will feature 15 upgraded fuse holders and distribution blocks to create a unified ecosystem of accessories with fresh appearances and gold plating.

1-9-2017 -- Known as the largest electronics show on the planet, CES provides an opportunity for new innovation at the start of each year. This year, it did not dissapoint, providing a place for mobile electronics manufacturers to showcase new ideas to eager retailers and industry insiders.

This year's event took place at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and featured some potential game changers for many companies. With a packed show floor, visitors from all over the world were able to see innovations that could affect them more than they know.

Perhaps the biggest innovation that many companies are developing products for, is the concept of OEM integration with an enhancement of sound quality. Kenwood has released its XR600-6DSP (MSRP $800),  a six-channel power plant that, through partnership with Automotive Data Solutions (ADS), upgrades select factory audio systems by supplanting, rather than supplementing the factory amplifier.

Sony displayed a demo vehicle featuring its RSXGS9 hi-resolution single-DIN head unit, which was reflective of where many car audio companies are going this year. This is largely thanks to a renewed interest in high quality sound from their customers. JL Audio, which again showcased off-site at the Palms Hotel and Casino, displayed its highly publicized C7 component speakers as part of this focus on quality sound. Attendees of the company's display were able to sit in a chair in the middle of a sound room to hear the speakers close-up. The C7 project was led by CEO and Chief Engineer, Lucio Proni, with a mission to create the finest-ever JL Audio component speakers.

Back at LVCC, but away from the North Hall, was Alpine, back in the mix with a new, innovative head unit, the iLX-107, an aftermarket in-dash receiver with wireless Apple CarPlay. The device utilizes direct Wi-Fi instead ofBlutooth to connect iPhones to the receiver, making it the first to market with the concept.

On the safety side, imageNEXT has parterned with American Road Products to bring OmniDRIVE, a connected car safety product, to the aftermarket in North America. The device that integrates 360º surround view monitoring (SVM) and blind spot cameras with a 5-channel DVR with optional dash-cam or driver cam that can be connected with wi-fi to portable devices in a vehicle. The product will be available for purchase through American Road Products. Shipping is scheduled for the end of March, tentatively.  

While some years bear few significant developments, this year's CES and Las Vegas showcase proved the aftermarket is an exciting place to be, one that is finding new ways to both compete and surpass the OEM presence.

Rydeen Mobile Electronics announced the receipt of two prestigious Innovation Awards in the Vehicle Intelligence category.

"Our PVR15W and MD4BT are both honorees and will be on display at the Innovations Award Showcase in Booth 83319, Hall G, Level 1 at the Sands Convention Center,” says Bob Goodman, Rydeen Mobile's Director of Sales & Marketing. Both products are currently available and offer drivers advanced technology solutions for avoiding accidents caused by driver distraction. "This is a tremendous honor for Rydeen and validates our position as a leader in Vehicle Safety,” adds Goodman. Unlike “OFF THE SHELVES PRODUCT” available from any other company, Rydeen built the products from the ground up, utilizing high quality components and heavy testing conditions to ensure reliability.

The PVR15W incorporates the latest technology including Optical Recognition of the road ahead of your vehicle, making the unit a 3 in 1 solution that features Advanced Front Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning and a full feature DVR with GPS and G-sensor, a combination of features not found even in the most expensive vehicles, all in a compact package with a consumer friendly MSRP of $499. With all of its advanced features and ability to be played back on any device, the PVR15W can truly be a life saver.

The MD4BT is another 3 in 1 solution housed in a Rear View Mirror featuring a 4.3" LCD screen. It features a Rear Camera Input to enhance safety awareness, Bluetooth for hands-free driving and Mi-Link digital inputs (HDMI/MHL) for connection to a Smartphone (Android or iOS), all without sacrificing picture quality through the high definition WGVA screen. While connected, the MD4BT screen displays the connected Smartphone's screen output for convenient and safe viewing, therefore avoiding driver distraction. The MD4BT employs a proximity sensor for activating commands by hand motion and voice commands such as SIRI and Google Now. It also can playback audio from a microSD (not included) through the line-out option to hear sound from car speakers. MSRP is $299. 

The BSS2LPBC has been selected for the Innovations award in Vehicle Intelligence category.

TORRANCE, Calif. - November 11, 2018 – Rydeen Mobile Electronics announced today the receipt of a prestigious CES Innovation Award in the Vehicle Intelligence category. "Our BSS2LPBC is an honoree and will be on display in Rydeen Booth 5606, North Hall as well as Innovations Award Showcase in Booth 83319, Hall G, Level 1 at the Sands Convention Center," said Phil Maeda, Rydeen Mobile's President and founder. “This product is currently available and offers drivers an advanced technology solution for avoiding accidents caused by blind spot during lane changes."

"It is a tremendous honor for Rydeen and validates our position as a leader in vehicle safety,” Maeda added. “Unlike most “OFF THE SHELF PRODUCTS” available from any other manufacturers, Rydeen has designed and built these products from the ground up, utilizing the highest quality components and extreme testing conditions to ensure superior quality and reliability.”

The BSS2LPBC incorporates the latest radar sensing technology and can easily be added to any vehicle for the extra protection needed in todays driving environment.

The BSS2LPBC Radar Blind Spot System “the BAR” uses microwave radar technology with highly accurate sensitivity sensing for distances of up to 35 feet for detecting objects within the driver’s blind spot. The system gives the driver a warning when vehicles are located within the driver’s blind spot. This microwave system provides the driver a flash warning when there are vehicles approaching either in the left or right blind spot. Advanced second-generation radar sensors within the unit provide much more accuracy than previous ultrasonic based sensor solutions from other companies. The system also uses GPS to initiate the operation above speeds ranging from 5/10/15/20 MPH that is user selectable eliminating potential faulty alerts in slow moving environments such as parking lots. Unlike other systems, it requires no drilling or removal of a vehicle's bumper for installation.

“BSS2LPBC installs on the top or bottom of a vehicle license plate, more importantly, it works on vehicles with metal bumpers giving millions of vehicles the additional coverage needed,” Maeda said. “Trucks and commercial vehicles with metal panels that never had an option for aftermarket blind spot systems before can now take advantage of this advanced technology." In addition, the system includes a backup camera and cross traffic detection features offering the total vehicle safety solutions for vehicle drivers TODAY!

Rydeen Mobile Electronics, a premier supplier of safety, lifestyle and convenience products for the automotive aftermarket, will be exhibiting at CES 2019 in Las Vegas. All products will be on display January 8-11 in the North Hall, Booth 5606 of the Las Vegas Convention Center. For more information on Rydeen’s featured products, visit www.rydeenmobile.com.

Take Your In-Vehicle Infotainment Experience to New Heights

LAS VEGAS, NV, January 6, 2020 —Stinger Electronics, designer and manufacturer of completely immersive infotainment solutions and audio accessories for on and off-road adventures, today announcing the highly anticipated HEIGH10, available now, at the Westgate Resort and Casino, Goldcoast Suite #2998.

Featuring a high-resolution, 10-inch capacitive touchscreen with 16.7 million colors for a full visual experience, HEIGH10 is designed to enhance screen size and infotainment features for drivers of any vehicle. The display and main tuner box offer a modular design, bolstering installation flexibility in space-limited applications––and in some cases, even where no installation dash kit is available. Don’t think you can fit a 10” screen in your application? For highest possible applications HEIGH10 works with most standard Double DIN installation kits or use a specialty kit like the upcoming PAC Wrangler JL kit that will with either 10” HEIGH10 or 8” ELEV8. For those looking for a single-DIN solution, the sold-separately SE-SDIN iso-mount allows for a variety of vehicle fitments that wouldn’t be possible with a full-featured multimedia system.

HEIGH10 delivers a wide variety of media inputs and integration options, giving you total control of your music, navigation, and other media, easily and safely while on the move. In addition, the HEIGH10 is feature-packed with Apple CarPlay®, SiriusXM-Ready® (SiriusXM Connect SXV300 satellite radio tuner required; sold separately), Android Auto®, AM/FM radio, two USB rear inputs w/1.5-amp output, Hands-free Bluetooth® 4.2, A2DP with aptX™ (for hands-free calling and music streaming), and optional iGO navigation (sold separately). Also included is an onboard steering-wheel control interface that makes integrating the HEIGH10 and retaining factory functions easy.

Audio features in HEIGH10 are what true audiophiles demand, thanks to the variable digital fiber-optic (Toslink) output, and features such as the 15-band graphic equalizer, crossover, and time correction allows users to fine-tune their sound systems at any time. Rounding out the system is a 4x50-watt (peak) built-in amplifier; 4-volt six-channel RCA audio outputs with subwoofer control; and three separate user EQ presets for each audio source.

HEIGH10 enhances safety on the road with four independent camera inputs, so that drivers can feel confident that their vehicles and their precious cargo are protected. The camera-mode display allows drivers to select up to four separate cameras to ensure that they can see what's in their blind spots for added safety on the highway. In addition, the sound from the optional RV camera microphone can be fed into the system, allowing the driver to hear as well as see what's going on.
