For a while now our Showroom has been complete but at the same time lacking or missing something, this something was and is the Alpine INE-W940E. It made perfect sense, we have everything ranging from entry level Headunits to top of the line Handmade Subwoofers. The only thing we didn’t have was a top of the line Double-Din GPS Headunit and that’s where the Alpine INE-W940E comes into play. As always the case when it comes to Alpine the Display is nice, simple and easy to use. Navigating through the options was seamless and I never got lost looking for...
It has been quite a long time since ABTEC4 has had a mention on here (Since 2012 if I remember correctly), so when Ashley mentioned that it was time to upgrade the Car Audio in the little Toyota bB I thought it would be a good time to do a little write up on it! Since starting with ABTEC I have seen a few changes happen to the company vehicles, some of this may or may not have had something to do with me but of late we have had a few discussions of the direction of ABTEC4. Since ABTEC1...
I don’t always do reviews on Headphones but when I do, I do try to make sure they have some sort of WOW factor to them. In fact I am usually very fussy with this type of product due to my musical background, which to put it bluntly means I will not own “run of the mill audio” be it Car, Musical Instruments or Home Audio! Knowing how beautiful Focal’s Home and Car Audio Speakers sound I couldn’t say no to taking a set of the Focal Spirit One Headphones home to review, but first I had to unpack them...
Some days writing reviews can be a “Walk in the park” so to speak, however when it comes to writing reviews on products that a company made their name from can make it a touch harder. Sometimes to a point that you have to start the review all over again… This has been the case with this said review! The design of the DD-M151’s are nice and simple with slight changes from the the last series of M151’s that had a piano black finish to a more modern brushed aluminium look, they still have the same 2-way layout as the...
It may surprise you to know that you probably spend as much time in your car as you do in your home. With that in mind, having the right audio system in your vehicle to entertain you is equally as important as your home theatre system. Ashley Burrell of Abtec, and his brother Darryl are celebrating 21 years in business this year and their promise is still the same as it was in the beginning; to satisfy all the their customers so you’ll choose them again with confidence. It as a double celebration with Abtec’s showroom/workshop at 49 Hutt Road...
It all started with an email to Digital Designs regarding an incident I had with my current sub (my complete fault I might add), after explaining what had happened I received a reply that can only be described as incredible, the reply read something like: “I would like to build you guys a prototype of the next {12”} series we are working on. It will have higher power handling and more motor force than {your current subwoofer}”. Well, what does one say to an offer like that?! Of course, I jumped in head first with complete eagerness regardless the cost!...
