LONG BEACH, CALIF. -- January 9th, 2020 -- KENWOOD USA announced it has made distinct improvements for 2020 to its eXcelon Entry Class Subwoofers, providing powerful and solid bass sound with their best reliability ever, as well as its eXcelon High Performance Class Subwoofers, improving heat flow, durability, and visual impact with new eye-catching designs.

The eXcelon High Performance Class Subwoofers are available in two 12” inch voice coil configurations of 2 ohm / 4 ohm, with a power handling of 500 Watts RMS, making them precisely optimized for KENWOOD eXcelon amplifiers. When 2 KFC-XW1241HP (Single 4-ohm coil, MSRP $179.95) subwoofers are paired together, they are power matched perfectly for the eXcelon Reference XR1001-1, which provides 1000 Watts of RMS power at 2 ohms. The KFC-XW1221HP (Single 2-ohm coil, MSRP $179.95) follows up as a perfect match with eXcelon X502-1 amplifier, which delivers 500 Watts RMS power at 2 ohms in a single sub configuration.  With a heavy focus on thermal management, a large multi-layered voice coil and aluminum bobbin provide efficient heat transfer, while a closed yoke enhances heat radiation and airflow. More accurate bass is delivered from a high-rigidity two-piece diaphragm with Dual Area Cap structure, keeping low notes under tight control. Enclosure requirements also won’t be much of an issue, with its fairly shallow 5-3/4” (147mm) mounting depth. And to top it off, users will love the new the stand-out red trim, which makes for an eye-catching accent when compared to typical, common looking subwoofers.

Not to be outdone, the budget friendly eXcelon Entry Class Subwoofers come in both 10” and 12” options, handling a substantial 300 Watts of RMS power. They are a perfect match when paired with eXcelon X502-1 amplifier, which delivers 300 Watts of RMS power at 4 ohms in a single sub configuration.   They feature unparalleled reliability through vigorous performance testing. Thanks to the new X-motif Cap that eliminates cone distortion, solid bass and efficiency are achieved, along with a dramatic visual statement. KENWOOD offers the 10” KFC-XW1041 (Single 4ohm coil, MSRP $129.95) and the 12” KFC-XW1241 (Single 4ohm coil, MSRP $129.95) with included eXcelon 2 year warranty, and the KENWOOD 10” KFC-W2541 (Single 4 ohm coil, MSRP $129.95) along with the 12” KFC-W3041 (Single 4 ohm coil, MSRP $129.95) both with a 1 year warranty.

Also new for 2020, KENWOOD has designed stylish new protective grille’s; the CA-121G (MSRP $54.95) for the KFC-XW1241, KFC-W3041, KFC-XW1221HP, KFC-XW1241HP, and the CA-101G (MSRP $54.95) for the KFC-XW1041, KFC-W2541 subwoofers. The mesh grilles install simply and securely, giving a finished look to already great looking subs, while adding protection at the same time.

“The durability of these woofers is going to make our dealers very happy,” said Scott Caswell, Sr Marketing Manager for KENWOOD. “We keep pushing the limits to give our customers a better sound, great value and dependable long-term performance.”

All models will be shipping this month. For detailed information on specific features for each model, please view their respective product pages at www.kenwood.com/usa/car.

L.V.C.C North Hall – Booth #5027 North Hall

December 28, 2019 -- Massive Audio, of SoCal USA, a leader in the 12-volt audio industry for 20 years, is proud to announce over 25 NEW products for Q1 2020!

Looking for something truly innovative in car audio? Look no further than our new Shallow Mount SUMMO64S and SUMMO84S Subwoofers. This new mechanical design allows for bottom-plate anchored mounting and will replace traditional ‘bottom pole-piece venting’ by redirecting the heat from the pole piece to the bottom of the spider and through the custom basket which reduces overall depth for limited space installations.

• Shallow Mount Design
  Sealed Bottom Plate
• Anchored Mounting Hex Bolt
  Vented Cast Basket
• Bolt-To-Box Magnet Bottom Plate
• Optimized Spider & High Rolled Edge
• Kevlar Fiber Non-Pressed Paper Cone
• 4-Layer Hi-Temp Voice Coil
• Fiberglass Woven Dust Cap
• Stacked Strontium Ferrite Magnets
• Enhanced Cooling T-yoke Design
• 100% Pure Copper Cables
• Triple Black Poly Cotton Spiders
  M.S.R.P ~ $94.95 - $129.95

“By bolting this machine screw (through the back of the enclosure directly to the backplate of the subwoofer) you will minimize 'box flexing' and reduce the airspace needed in the box itself. Minimizing box flexing will increase efficiency by converting the wasted electrical power from the amplifier, directly to the mechanical linear subwoofer cone's movement, which will minimize distortion and add more efficient bass reproduction. Without this new design you would traditionally need around an inch or more from the back of the subwoofer to the back of the box.” Says Corey Hyler, Product Manager for Massive Audio.

On the back of the SUMMO64S you will find a removable machined screw. Simply remove the screw, load the subwoofer in the enclosure so that the back of the box is flush with the back of the subwoofer, then replace the screw through the back of the enclosure to the baffle of the subwoofer. This design will allow a unique advantage of bracing the front baffle, the subwoofer and the back baffle together as one, which will make the subwoofer and the enclosure as one plane. This will not only make for a smaller box but more importantly add more bass! This is due to the energy not being spent on box flexing and in turn producing more low frequency output!

Now that’s audio innovation!

Other new products by Massive Audio in 2020 are:

• Honda / Toyota / Nissan OEM 6.5” Coaxial and Component Drop-In Speakers
  Passive Pre-Loaded 6” – 12” Subwoofer Enclosures
  Powered Pre-Loaded 6” – 12” Subwoofer Enclosures
  Trident Series Marine / Powersports Amplifiers and Speakers (New models)
  HIPPOXL Series 8R & 10 Inch Subwoofers (Dual 2 & 4 Ohm)
  KILOX Series 1000 Watt RMS Subwoofers (Replaces TOROX Series)

Memphis will also be detailing the technology behind their new game changing VIV Six Five Series subwoofer featuring a massive 7.5” voice coil. Get a first look at the new M-Series MB dual impedance subwoofer line which features selectable impedance technology.

Holly Hill, Fla. – December 30, 2019 – Metra Electronics® introduces new RGB and RGBW LED lights, controllers with programmable triggers and a new mobile app for their 12volt brands. RGBW lights feature the full spectrum of RGB LEDs plus an option for true white LED light color. The new mobile app will work with Heise LED Lighting Systems®, Metra PowerSports® and Metra Marine® RGB and RGBW lighting products, allowing multiple devices to be grouped together and synced to the same lighting patterns, colors and more. Additionally, Heise is releasing an RGB and an RGBW control box with several new rock light options and connection accessories. Metra PowerSports will also unveil a new RGBW dome light, RGB and RGBW rock lights, a new control box and lighting connection accessories at CES 2020.

RGB/RGBW Mobile App

The new RGBW mobile app is customizable for each brand, allowing the user to select from three different backgrounds to reflect Heise, Metra PowerSports or Metra Marine’s brand style. The app has a selectable color wheel with 16 million different RGB color options and a true white light color option, available with RGBW products. The app automatically updates via Bluetooth® and detects if a product connected to the control box is RGB or RGBW, allowing groups of both products to be used and controlled within the same mobile app.

Users can also select from built-in pre-programmed lighting transitions for rainbow, fire and water, with additional transitions that include blinking, fading or pulsing between a combination of any two colors. For accurate color matching to completely customize the LED lights, a camera color capture feature is also available in the app. The new mobile app uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for wireless control that streams in the background, uses significantly less power and does not impact the user’s ability to stream music via Bluetooth from the same mobile device. Metra’s new app will be available in the Google Play® and Apple® store soon.

New Control Boxes

Both Heise and Metra PowerSports are launching new IPX4 rated control boxes for RGB and RGBW LED lights with conformal coated circuit boards. The new control boxes can group multiple devices and handle up to ten amps of current, which allows for more lighting products than what most competing standard control boxes can handle. The mobile app also allows for multiple control boxes to be grouped together and installed within the same system. Unique to both Heise and Metra PowerSports control boxes is the ability for installers to put a positive voltage trigger to lights to offer four programmable triggers for any color. For example, yellow for a turn signal, red for the brake light, white for the reverse light and an additional option for the fourth trigger. This feature is exclusive to Metra and allows for even more customization of the RGB and RGBW lighting products.

RGB-CB1 - Heise Control Box for RGB Lights with 4 Triggers

RGBW-CB1 - Heise Control Box for RGBW Lights with 4 Triggers

RGB-CB3 - Heise Control Box for 702RGB Headlights and Fog Lights with 4 Triggers

RGB-CB2 - Metra PowerSports RGB Control Box with 4 Triggers

RGBW-CB2 - Metra PowerSports RGBW Control Box with 4 Triggers

Control boxes are required for operation of RGB or RGBW lighting products.
