Item of the Week 4/19/10

Cartunes Item of the Week this week are the NEW JL Audio XD Amplifiers!

“Amazingly small in size, but huge in audio performance, the JL Audio XD amplifiers are the perfect solution for space-conscious installations or for anyone seeking affordable excellence in a mobile amplifier.

JL Audio’s exclusive NexD™ switching technology achieves total amplifier efficiencies exceeding 80%, which means far less heat and less strain on your vehicle’s electrical system than a conventional large amplifier. This efficiency advantage, combined with state-of-the-art microelectronic components allows us to use very compact unitary cast alloy heat sinks. As with their more expensive HD siblings, XD’s also deploy our Advanced Thermal Rollback System to completely eliminate annoying thermal shut-down events.

Beneath every XD’s removable control cover, you will find studio-grade signal processing with fully variable crossover filters. Also included are our noise-killing, highly flexible differential-balanced inputs with remote level control capabilities via the HD-RLC remote level control (optional).

Some might just see a small amplifier… But, for those who appreciate great audio, XD’s reveal something huge.”

A new solution from Viper offers the ability to start your car from virtually anywhere using your iPhone. The solution from Directed Electronics is called Viper SmartStart. The solution includes a free Viper SmartStart app for the iPhone, available through the iTunes App Store, and the installation of a Viper SmartStart remote starter on your vehicle.

The Viper SmartStart solution is being marketed as a better solution for starting your vehicle compared to a typical solution which offers a small remote control with a limited range. The Viper SmartStart’s advantage is that its range is virtually unlimited. Best of all, there is no need to carry an additional remote control if you already carry your iPhone. As long as your iPhone and your car has a signal your golden.

Viper SmartStart will come in two models. One model is for those who don’t have a remote start system installed and includes the complete Viper SmartStart System for US$499. The second is for those who already have a compatible Viper system and just need the Viper SmartStart Module which will retail for $299.

Audio. Video. Customization. Detailing. Mobile accessories. Industry news. Shop talk. It’s all fair game.
