Auburn Hills, Mich. (Jan. 11, 2024) – Alps Alpine North America, Inc. (“Alpine”) completes the Alpine Status Sound System with two new subwoofers available in a 12” (HDZ-W12) and 10” (HDZ-W10) size.

 “Building off the momentum from our speaker and amplifier launch, Alpine is excited to complete the Alpine Status line with two new subwoofers,” said Gregg Thomas, Director of National Sales for the Alpine Brand Division at Alps Alpine North America, Inc. “We carefully designed these products to match the level of performance and quality that’s expected from this premium line.”

 Launched in 2023 as a trickle-down line from the Ultra-High-Resolution AlpineF#1Status system, Alpine Status features the highest quality construction and materials that when used as a complete system achieves an industry-defying standard of 192kHz/24bit High-Resolution Playback.

 Redefining Premium Audio

The Alpine Status Subwoofers feature a pulp-mica cone with triple-stacked Strontium Ferrite magnets and Alpine proprietary HAMR (High-Amplitude Multi-Roll) Surround for high-powered bass performance.

At the heart of the subwoofers are dual progressive spiders that center the 65mm voice coil for tighter and more controlled bass response. A carbon fiber dust cap protects the voice coil and offers a premium finish on the subwoofer face.

Housed in a cast aluminum frame and topped with a mesh grille and aluminum trim ring, the subwoofers ensure a high-quality, uninterrupted performance with a premium finish that will compliment any sound system.

The Alpine Status Subwoofers will be available in Spring 2024 at $799.95 for the 12” HDZ-W12 and $749.95 for the 10” HDZ-W10 and can be purchased at Alpine Authorized retailers and Preferred Online Stores. Please check the store locator on www.alpine-usa.com for details.

Ann Arbor, MI -- May 7, 2019 -- Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. is now shipping three new powered sound systems for select Toyota trucks. The new models are the PSU-300FRN for the Toyota 4Runner® (2010-Up), PSU-300TCM for the Toyota Tacoma® (2016-Up), and the PSU-300TND for the Toyota Tundra® (2014-Up). Each system is compatible with the truck models that do not have the optional factory amplified sound system.

The three models are direct-fit sound system upgrades that are simple-to-use and enhance the overall sound performance of the factory sound system. Each system is pre-tuned to match the respective truck, eliminating the need to make tedious adjustments to the sound system.

All models are 300-watt systems which include an 8-inch powered subwoofer and a compact 4-channel amplifier. The products are pre-assembled onto vehicle-specific brackets and come with vehicle-specific wiring harnesses for easy plug-and-play installation.

The compact size of the subwoofer allows it and the amplifier to be installed under the front passenger’s seat (or under the left rear seat for the Tacoma) for optimal sound performance and placement that won’t occupy useable space in the vehicle. The included remote bass knob provides convenient control of the bass level right from the dash.

All models are compatible with the base factory Toyota radio, an Alpine universal head unit, or other aftermarket head unit. They are available now at authorized Alpine retailers at $800 each. Visit www.alpine-usa.com for a store locator.

Featuring staple DD Audio innovations like the Super Frame (SFrame), Vario-density Extended Range Of Motion Surround (V-ROM), True Size Carbon Fiber Blend Cone (CFB) technology, and Tuned Spider System (TSS) technology; the 12 inch ESP is set to deliver more performance than any other 12 on the market.

At first sight of the 12 inch ESP envious onlookers will marvel at its unique and stylish features. Each handmade subwoofer comes standard with a handmade dry carbon fiber dustcap that provides unprecedented durability and style without sacrificing performance. In combination with the beefy surround and newly updated gasket, the 12 inch ESP let’s you know it means business before a note is ever played.

Under the hood of the aggressive and stunning face of the woofer lies the precision laser cut Tuned Spider System. Housed within the comfort of the S Frame’s high ceilings, these spiders have more room to move than any other that came before them. Working alongside the expansion jointed VROM Surround to guide the lightweight hi-temp coil along its straight and narrow path, the Tuned Spider System lends a major hand in doing what the ESP does best: Defining the meaning of linear excursion while producing more output than any other subwoofer. Period.

Irvine, California (November 15, 2023) Elettromedia-USA manufacturer of premium electronics and speaker systems for the automotive, marine, and motorsports aftermarket, is proud to introduce the NEW DIECI DBA 201 active enclosed subwoofer that delivers bass impact you can feel, while taking up minimal space. The enclosure, made with solid MDF and optimized with FEM simulation, features double passive radiators for higher output. The massive magnet of the 8-inch driver provides optimal control during high cone excursion.

The DIECI DBA 201 includes a 440-Watt He-Li Class D amplifier with a full set of controls to fine-tune in-car performance. The built-in 24 dB/Octave low-pass crossover allows the user to perfectly match the DBA 201 to the vehicle’s speaker system. Adjustable bass boost (0-6 dB @ 45Hz) allows correction for OEM sound equalization. The variable phase inverter (0-180°) helps to optimize alignment between the DBA 201 and the cabin speaker system - regardless of the subwoofer’s location in the car. The subsonic filter (15 Hz @ 24 dB/Oct) protects the cone from over-excursion and the amplifier from overheating. The input sensitivity control helps to maximize the overall system output level while preventing clipping.An HRC 01 remote level control is included, with both surface and recess-mounting hardware. For added convenience, the built-in DC offset and audio sense circuit allows the DBA 201 to turn on and timeout to standby mode automatically. These turn on functions can be defeated when a remote turn-on wire is available.
