OK, I have been talking about power solutions for quite some time now and my first twin battery set-up was in the early 80’s and things have changed a lot since then. As a rule adding a small amplifier to your system generally wont be a problem and using your existing battery in the short term should not be an issue, but still I would recommend upgrading as a starting point and adding more batteries as required as your systems needs grow… 🙂 A great first option would be a Optima D34M As your systems needs, increase, you can add another...

DD Audio have been writing some brilliant and useful Tech Talk blogs of late, because of how useful I have found them I thought I’d share them every now and again! I hope you enjoy the read! DD Audio 19th May 2015 Our tip this month deals with how to quickly and correctly set the crossovers on a DD sub amp. You will not need tools except your ears and a little flat blade screwdriver. An understanding of how to set crossover points is a must in the world of high performance car audio. The harder you push your audio...

As a lot you know the ABTEC Petone Showroom has been open for 2 years now, but to be honest it feels like it only opened a couple of months ago. So in celebration to this milestone (And the fact ABTEC just turned 22 years old!) I thought I’d write up a little update on how the shop has grown and been updated in the last year. So much has happened over what feels like such a small amount of time that I better start somewhat from the beginning, so lets start with the Showroom! But before talk about the...
It’s that time again, time for the V 4 & Rotary Jamboree Sounds Alive & Extreme Bass Battle Sound Off March 2015 Update! Its hard to believe its been a whole year since I have last competed at a Sound Off or even worked at one too, however this time round I would not be competing but running the show and squeezing in the odd demo here and there… To my surprise everything was already setup (Many thanks to Ashley ‘Madd Bass’ Burrell and Darryl Burrell) when I arrived and most of the competitors had already arrived and were already...

Hanging around awaiting Ashley with the keys going through in my head, the order of the day and watching the show cars slowly roll through the gate, I couldn’t help reflect a little over the past couple of years and be thankful of the support the SPL scene has had from the amazing sponsors of NZ dB Drag. 4 N Rotary, for not only including us in...
