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.

DBA 201 Features

  • 440-watt peak He-Li Class D amplifier
  • 30V capable speaker inputs, 18V capable power inputs for universal vehicle compatibility
  • Plug & Play connection with Sub Smart Plug

  • Provided HRC 01 remote level control

The DBA 201 has a MAP price of $399.99 and will be available in Q4 2023.

The Hertz SPL NEO speakers have been extremely popular since their introduction in 2020. Designed specifically for motorcycle application, the terminals, and mounting holes on our 6.5” NEO speakers are compatible for installation on Harley-Davidson® motorcycles. Designed to be highly efficient and play extremely loud, all NEO speakers share some common design features such as high stiffness, pressed paper cones, treated to resist water, humidity, and UV. As well as utilizing a special Neodymium N38 H magnet which reduces weight and increases performance.

To complete the Sound Packs, Hertz designed a set of custom cut-in saddlebag grilles. The grille assembly includes a 6x9 mount to install our SX 690.1 NEO speakers. The Kit also includes a cut-out template and all mounting hardware. In addition to the saddlebag grilles, two wiring harnesses were developed. The HBH14 Speaker Harness for use with the Saddlebag Kit and the HTHP14 T-Power Harness for use with the SP 4.900 amplifier. As Rob Wempe states, “Both harnesses simplify installation by eliminating the need to cut any wires - with our harnesses you simply Plug and Play.”

HD14H Saddlebag Kit includes a cut-out template, 6x9 speaker mount, grilles, and mounting hardware. The HBH14 Speaker Harness is also included. Speakers for this kit are sold separately.

Sound Pack 1 uses our 6.5” SX 165 NEO with our SP 4.900 amplifier and HTHP14 T-Power harness. The speaker is compact and lightweight and has a large 1.4” PEI dome tweeter with a resettable solid-state protection circuit and a protective rubber gasket. Perfect for an amplified 2-speaker faring installation.

Sound Pack 2 adds a pair of the 6.5” SV 165 NEO to the pair of SX 165 NEOs for motorcycles outfitted with a factory Tour Pack. The Sound Pack 2 also includes the SP 4.900 amplifier and HTHP14 T-Power harness.
