Since we get a lot of questions regarding Car Audio Sound Systems Set-up’s we thought it would be a good idea to put up this basic guideline for you all to read through & also to shed some light on the subject at the same time… Use A Sound level Meter: If you are serious about Car Audio, use, borrow or buy a sound level meter. A sound level meter can save you lots of money in the long run. The reason for using a sound level meter is because once you have your system complete, it may take a big...
Being the end of the year it was time for the ABTEC dB Drag Soundoff & Sounds Alive Grand Final. It had already been an interesting year for the Car-Audio/Sound-Off Scene with people continuing to beat their personal bests and a lot of these people had also been doing some very impressive upgrades to their systems. Which is always good to see since sometimes the smallest of upgrades can make a massive difference. As competitors turned up Darryl fired up the BBQ and as the next hour went on you could tell everyone had a good feed as we were...
Since the last dB Drag Event for the year has just past and we had a slight improvement with our results in ABTEC3 I thought I’d do a little Update… As a lot of you know or maybe not know (I can’t be to sure if this is or isn’t your first time to read my blogs) we at ABTEC have had a little project of getting Entry Level Sub-Woofers into 150+dB SPL range in our Toyota Vitz RS.

I think Santa is pointing out what he wants to give everyone for Christmas here! I’m not sure...
As the year has been going by we have seen quite a few upgrades in Head-Unit models and with no exceptions when it come to Pioneer either, in the last couple month’s they have released over four NEW upgraded Head-Units including the DEH-4450BT being superseded by the NEW Pioneer DEH-X6550BT. The display is very functional and easy to read just like the DEH-4450BT was but this time round you have the option of changing both the display and key button illumination. With 210,000 x 210,000 colour combinations to choose from, it has to be more than enough colours for even the most...
