ABTEC’s New DDZ18D1.5 & M4A

When I was told we were getting a Digital Designs Z18 for the back of the trusty old Pajero I was overwhelmed with excitement, so much excitement that all I wanted to do is go and tell people like what a 5 year would do when he gets a new Tonka Tow-Truck for his birthday! The only thing with this was that I was sworn to secrecy and wasn’t allowed to tell anybody, and anyone that knows me well would know this was very hard for me to do! After a couple of weeks of manufacturing and shipping there was a knock...

Sony MEX-BT4050U Product Review

The Sony MEX-BT4050U is a brilliant Hands-Free Bluetooth Head-Unit that has USB iPod/Phone Control and also a Built-In Mic! I feel the built-in Mic is a great option since not everyone wants to run a Mic from the Head-Unit to your steering column or rear-vison mirror. You do have the option to fit one with the optional XA-MC10 (Sold Separately) if you prefer an external Mic.

Sony XM-GTR3301D Product Review

When it comes to choosing a Mono-Block there are a lot of options and also a lot of things to consider too. Like how much power do I need, is it for SPL or SQ, what gauge wiring kit your going to use, what ohms. The variables go on and on. For everyday use, the Sony XM-GTR3301D is more than enough for the average set-up. Even our MD is using one to power a DD-3510 sub-woofer in his X5 and it sound’s awesome. It doesn’t even seem to be stressing this amp either! Features: MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER: 1 Ch x 600W...
