In the last year a lot of Car Stereo Manufactures have stepped up to the plate and updated a lot of their current models and adding new features along the way. Pioneer have done this again but with their Entry Level Head-Unit, the DEH-155MPG is the replacement model for the DEH-1350MPG and with its subtle improvements makes it an excellent Entry Level Head-Unit! Like all Pioneer Head-Units the DEH-155MPG has beautiful sound even for an entry level unit. It has a 5-Band Equalizer for adjusting your cars acoustics to suit you and Pioneers Advanced Sound Retriever compensates for the frequencies that...

The Sony XAV-701BT is the one of Sony’s latest double din head-units, with a 7″ touch screen and more features that you could shake a stick at makes for a very fun and versatile head-unit! My first impression was that it was a very sleek looking unit with a large screen and simple but functional buttons at the bottom of the screen. The sound quality of this unit is superb with its EQ7 7-Band Equalizer, S-MOSFET and 3 high power 5v Pre-outs. For the few weeks I was using the Sony XAV-701BT I ran 2 sets of DD-CS6.5 Components front and rear off the head-unit and 2...

Not everyone has the space or the money to have a multiple Sub-Woofer set-up in their daily driver so our friends at Digital Designs have come up with a solution for this problem. This solution is the DD-LE-MINI Series! As I already have a Digital Designs pre-made enclosure in the family car (DD-LE308) it only made sense to try out the DD-LE-MINI12 in it for a week or two and see how it compares. After installing it in the boot I noticed straight away how dominate the bass was and this was at low volume since I wanted to give it some...

Not only have had the chance to drive around with the beautiful sounding but yet so brutal Digital Designs Z18 for over three months, but for the last two weeks I have had the Digital Designs Z12-D2 in ABTEC1 or my daily driver as I call it. You might recall me saying it is and was hard to go back to any other Sub-Woofer after running the Z18 and I can assure you I still feel very much that way! It has been quite a while since we had the Z18 in ABTEC1 and since then we have been looking...

Its not very often you see a company re-run a discontinued product, in fact I can’t remember any company in the car audio industry ever doing so. The common trend is to make a new replacement model and never speak of the last model like it never existed, Digital Designs has gone against the grain here and re-released the M4 even after they had released the mighty M4a. You might be sitting there wondering why they would do so when they have already released its successor, well the answer is simple! Digital Designs had so much success with the M4 customers keep on...

Ten years ago if someone had told me that I would be writing a review on what I consider one of the most phenomenal Sub-Woofers ever built & that before having the chance to write about it I would be Listening to it in my daily driver for over three months I would of told them they were crazy! This Sub-Woofer is the Digital Designs DD-Z18-D1.5  The sound quality of the Z18 is just absolutely beautiful that no array of words could ever do it justice! I have owned 18″ Sub-Woofers in the past, they have always been slow moving and...

When it comes to getting nice crisp Bass tones in your car usually you have to pay an arm and leg to do so, with the DD-510-D4 this isn’t the case. Like all Digital Designs Subs they are hand-built to the same standards that we all would expect from Digital Designs and come with an affordable price! The sound quality of these Sub-Woofers are just amazing, nice crisp clear low’s and that nice punch that 10″ Sub-Woofers are known for! Ideally the DD-510-D4 is designed to be powered by smaller amplifiers (100-300w RMS) but can safely be run on a larger amplifier...

The Digital Designs SS Series Mono-block Amplifier returns to the line up in its 3rd generation making 50% more power than the 1st generation. The Digital Designs SS1b delivers 700 watts of power at 12 Volts, over 900 Watts at alternator charging levels and 1400 watts of dynamic power, all from less than 7 inches wide and 11 inches long. Although the original SS1 may have been ahead of its time, the “b” version is perfect for integrating high end audio in more tightly constrained vehicle interiors. SPECIFICATIONS Bridged NA Channels 1 Cont Power at 1 Ohm 700W x 1...

In the last few years car manufacturers have been making it harder and harder to replace the factory head-units in their cars in some cases it costs in the thousands just to replace the fascia plates, Sony have now found a solution to this problem for the iPod/iPhone users and this solution is the new Sony XDP-MU110!   Sony has just released the XDP-MU110 which is an iPod/iPhone integration kit for those who want to keep their car’s stock head unit in place. More accurately, the Digital Link Sound System is a collection of car audio technology that has been bundled...

A step ahead at the 4 Star car alarm level The 4 Star car alarm market is one of the most crowded with all of the major brands offering at least one model at this mid-level price point. We’ve looked at few so far such as the AVS A4 and Dynatron D7600 but how about the AVS S4? The AVS S4 is one of the less well known of the AVS car security models and it sits at the upper end of the pricing scale with an RRP of $549. However at one level below our biggest selling alarm (the...
