DANIA BEACH, Fla., February 22nd, 2021 - HKI USA, the US importer for Ground Zero car audio products, is proud to be able to say that the new Uranium line of component speakers is here.

Starting with the GZUK 165SQ midbass, this all new 6.5-inch driver has an underhung neo motor with a 2-inch coil paired with a damped aluminum cone allowing this driver to dig deep and maintain a smooth response through its frequency range.

July 21, 2020 -- What better way to celebrate our 25th year in the audio game than to release a Limited Edition kit, available all across the world, but we did it in a different kind of way. With the launch and success of our new Radioactive Components (GZRC 165.2SQ), and the announcement of our new Uranium series of components, we have decided to combine these two lines into one single box, bringing you the best of both. 

While using the aluminum cone midbass driver from the RadioActive series of SQ components, and pairing it with the newly designed 28mm silk dome Uranium tweeter, we needed to build a passive network that was a step above. Either used in a passive install, or active with a DSP, this kit brings an uncompromised level of quality to an often overlooked price point. 

“We expect to start shipping this amazing limited edition component sets before end of August to the best retailers across USA,” said Diogo Iannaccone.

GZCT 500IV-B adds to the brand’s Competition Series line

DAVIE, FLA., March 28, 2019 (MEDIAWIRE) – SounDigital USA, exclusive U.S. distributor of Ground Zero audio products, announced that the Ground Zero GZCT 500IV-B tweeter is now available to authorized retailers in the U.S. and Canada. The new speaker, introduced at the 2019 KnowledgeFest trade show and education conference in Indianapolis earlier this month, is a high-performance compression tweeter from the brand’s Competition Series, designed specifically for motorcycles. Its introduction gives bike audio retailers a versatile, high-frequency driver in a design ideal for custom installations.

The GZCT 500IV-B features a compact diameter for minimal surface area installations. Its screw-on bezel provides an attractive surface-mount solution for drop-in replacement or custom installs, and rust-resistant rear screw terminals connect it to the radio or amplifier. It’s capable of 30 watts RMS and 100 watts maximum power handling with a rated frequency response of 4kHz – 25kHz.

The element-resistant black chassis houses an aluminum dome tweeter and cast baffle, driven by a one-inch, copper-clad aluminum flat-wire voice coil capable of four-ohm impedance loads. A plastic phase plug enables installers to mount the tweeter to fire toward the rider from the front or rear.

“Our response from retailers at KnowledgeFest was phenomenal,” said Diogo Ianaconi, CEO of SounDigital USA. “Traditional bike audio retailers who know the quality of Ground Zero tweeters liked its crisp, clear performance. And several car audio retailers that don’t typically do bike installs are now seeing a new profit center. We think the new tweeter will be a popular addition to Ground Zero’s Competition line.”

The GZCT 500IV-B has an MSRP of $99 each and is sold as a single speaker.
