JL AUDIO NEW XD AMPLIFIERS

The days of big amplifiers are finally gone. While big power remains, big footprints are a thing of the past. JL Audio showed this with their HD amplifiers. Now, they have introduced the more affordable 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. Stop in today to see these little wonders for yourself!

Parrot RKi8400 Bluetooth Radio With Ipod Control

The Parrot RKi8400 is a factory replacement radio designed for the person who finds themselves constantly in their vehicle. Equipped with a bluetooth hands free system built in, this radio allows you to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel when you have to take or make that important phone call. Every time you start your car, your radio recognizes your phone and syncs your contact list up to the radio. This allows you to easily find the person you would like to call, and gives you a caller ID name if the incoming call is from someone on your list. The Parrot radio also allows you to dial out from the easy to use number pad on the left side of the faceplate, or to use voice dialing. Parrot also decided to do away with fading technology and trade out that outdated CD player behind the face of most radios, for an auxiliary jack and an Ipod adapter. The Ipod adapter allows you to plug in your Ipod and leave it in the storage pocket behind the faceplate while it is charging the Ipod. The faceplate also features a color LCD display on the front, designed to give you easy control of your Ipod from the buttons on the radio! Stop in for a demonstration on how this new unit works today!

BIG SOUND IN SMALL SPACES

Introducing the new XXD amplifiers from Arc Audio. Arc has designed the XXD amplifiers with the idea that bigger is not always better. It is becoming more and more difficult to install amplifiers into today's cars without making them an eye sore or taking up much needed space. Imagine a class D 500 watt amp that can fit into a space as small as a glove box, or perhaps a 2 channel 320 watt amp fitting behind your radio. Arc audio has accomplished this amazing feat while still maintaining the sound quality that has made Arc one of the best amplifiers on the market. If this seems too good to be true, come in and see (and hear) for yourself!
