August 26, 2021 -- The DS18 Hooligan X15 has already been proven to provide top-end performance and bass for six years now, on the streets and in the lanes. Hooligans have been a choice of music lovers and competitors alike.

We have taken the Traditional Hooligan and revamped it in our newest revision, the Hooligan X15 High Excursion subwoofer. This model features long throw pole, larger spider, and high excursion surround to lower the FS of the speaker making it louder at subsonic frequencies. This massive sub will be great for high powered music or SPL. A FS of 26 will ensure deep lows down to 20hz and great punchy bass up around 40hz depending on your box tuning. This subwoofer is rated at 4000w RMS and 6000w max so your vehicle will require electrical upgrades and large wire.

This sub will be friendly to 4th orders, 6th orders, ported boxes, and large sealed boxes and can be used in most applications that has room for the box. With a 59mm one way XMAX, this sub is sure to pump out extreme decibels with the proper power and box setup. We recommend a tuning of 25-35hz for ported boxes depending on your goals.

If you are looking for extreme bass and massive power look no further than the Hooligan High Excursion line. This Hooligan variant will be sure to start you on your way to high volume hairtricks and massive lows.

Here are the highlights:

• High powered 4-Inch Black Aluminum voice coil handling 4000w RMS and 6000w max power for heavy hitting competition bass.
• We have added a large high excursion surround to help with the high pole to pole flex this subwoofer has giving it has a 59mm one way xmax!
• We have also added a larger spider that helps lower the FS (Resonant Frequency) so this sub plays lower much louder than previous versions.
• 4 inch black aluminum voice coil handling a massive 4000w RMS and 6000w peak will be sure to get this subwoofer moving with hurricane wind forces.

The DS18 Tooled Black basket is one of the slickest and best looking baskets on the market. Not only extremely strong but looks great so you can use plexiglass or mount inverted on your box to see the show quality frame and motor topped off by a carbon fiber dust cap.

Huge 500oz magnet will help the voice coil receive and handle the massive power this sub requires with high efficiency and durability.

Oklahoma City, Okla., August 24th, 2021 -- DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products for the masses, is pleased to announce an all new A Series speaker line up. DD Audio’s A Series speakers are regarded as the gold standard for OEM speaker upgrades and this new array is here to maintain that tradition with the AW-6.5 woofer, the AT-28a tweeter and the AM-3 midrange speaker. These components combine premium features, materials and design elements to produce a True to the Source® sound quality.

Extensive part analysis, hours of comparative listening tests, and decades of loudspeaker design experience have resulted in the creation of these A Series components. Their reference grade components are built for listeners who are truly excited by the art of critically listening to mobile audio. Every part used in these speakers serves to advance their sonic performance characteristics while eliminating any unwanted elements. The components are available a la carte, so you can build an amazing sounding 2-Way set, 3-Way set, or add select individual components to your system.

The AW-6.5a mid-woofers represent "state of the art" in driver technology. The open design cast aluminum baskets provide an ultra rigid support system while also functioning as an additional heatsink and shorting ring. A high-energy double shorting ring motor is perfectly matched to the 1.5” copper clad aluminum, kapton former voice coil, providing balanced output efficiency and power handling. The inverted butyl rubber surround and composite spider work in tandem to damp unwanted vibrations while providing control and linearity. An aluminum cone with a soft rubber dustcap offers the neutral sound of a pulp cone with the precision only an ultra rigid cone can deliver. This combination achieves wide bandwidth and efficient energy transfer to the air.

The AM-3 incorporates many of the same design elements as its larger counterpart the AW-6.5a. This dizzying array of features that one only finds in the upper echelon of the world’s finest drivers is tightly packed into the small and highly versatile 3 inch surround package to deliver a crisp, clear and detailed sound in tight spaces.

The AT-28a offers a soft rich sound with extraordinary detail and excellent off axis response.

The lightweight, ultra rigid ceramic dome has excellent damping and offers a breakup mode thousands of cycles above the audible range. A soft silk surround keeps the moving parts linear while also helping to damp any unwanted resonances. The powerful neodymium motor easily controls the coil and dome during the excursion cycle resulting in near perfect pistonic motion and superb accuracy. A tuned rear cavity extendeds the tweeter’s low frequency response for a broader usable frequency bandwidth.

An industry leader for vehicle technology has expanded.

ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, August 24, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Representatives with VAIS Technology announced today that its SEER smart keyless access system is now available for fleets.

Dennis Hopper, executive vice president and spokesperson for VAIS Technology, explained that based on proximity, SEER can automatically lock your car, keep the lights on as you are leaving, and turn them off once you’re gone, turn the lights on when you approach, and unlock your doors before you touch the handle.

As to how SEER for fleets is different than that for classic vehicles, Hopper pointed out that the most popular features for Fleet Industries are:

• Locking the vehicle and all electronic toolboxes when the operator is away.

• Unlocking the vehicle and electronic toolboxes when the operator is approaching.

• Activating lights when the operator is around the vehicle for safety and convenience.

• Starter interrupt. Not allowing to start the vehicle when SEER key tag is not in proximity.

• Creating “If This Then That” scenarios adding personalized safety and convenience features to fleet vehicles.

SEER, according to Hopper, can be fully customized using an online software tool designed by VAIS and flash the unit via a smartphone app. Fleet upfitters that choose to customize SEER can set up different proximity levels, specify input and output signal types, introduce delays, and timers.

VAIS Technology, a SEMA member, SEMA Pro member, Mobile Electronics Association (MEA) member, aims to adapt today’s vehicle technology for the everyday car. Besides SEER, the company’s two product lines help vehicle owners add satellite radio to their standard factory stereo and add Bluetooth audio to their standard factory stereo.

“Our vehicle enhancement products are preferred by auto dealers and vehicle customization professionals because they do not alter any existing factory equipment,” Hopper said, before adding, “When you add a VAIS Technology product to your car, you can rest assured that your factory-installed stereo will remain under factory warranty.”

For more information, please visit www.vaistech.com/about-us and https://www.vaistech.com/blog/.

VAIS Technology was founded in 2003, at a time when vehicle technology was evolving. We have a passion for both automobiles and technology, so our goal is to provide consumers with tech features that automakers haven’t yet embraced or have implemented only on higher trim packages.
