- Elemental Designs is closing out their 13Kv.2 D4 and this is one smoking deal. If you need a sub (or two or six) then don’t pass this – $50 for a quality sub is not something you see everyday!
- Ben was judging competition sound quality cars at the Tuner Evolution show in York, PA, but in his spare time he snapped off a bunch of pics and we have three galleries live on the site!
- Mr. Mobile is back with another installment of "I Want That", and this time we get the details on the Zoombak GPS tracking device. This portable "big brother" can be used to track the location of you car, dog, motorcycle, whatever you need!
- Old school car audio equipment always has a soft spot in the hearts of enthusiasts. Whether it’s that first car stereo, the amplifier you saved all summer to buy, or just a sexy subwoofer you never could quite afford but finally sold enough pints of blood to add it to your arsenal, sometimes you don’t have need an excuse, or even a use for it, you just want to have it. What’s in your collection? Check out what’s in ours!
- Steve Meade has become somewhat of a legend here on CarDomain and SoundDomain. There aren’t too many people who have had the opportunity to play with Rockford Fosgate’s legendary and almost mythical T15kW amplifiers (You know, the $25,000, 15,000 watt powerhouses?), So what makes these monsters so amazing? Steve hooked us up with a video featuring the amplifier’s design engineer breaking down the details.

- These days, new cars usually pose some problems when it comes time to the upgrade audio system. However, the new VW Jetta is actually a great sounding car just waiting to happen! SoundDomain moderator Keep_Hope_Alive recently rented a 2008 VW Jetta and decided to rip into the doors to check out the potential for upgrading the speakers. In the end he was pleasantly surprised!
- Focal’s new SOLID amps start shipping next month! If you’re looking for a compact, audiophile sound quality amplifier, make sure to check these out!
- Rockford Fosgate is one of the premier names in mobile electronics. Have you ever checked out their website? They have a HUGE gallery of pics from around the world!
- The guys from Elemental Designs just put out a new informational video explaining proper subwoofer wiring and what happens if you wire your system up wrong. Has your sub ever just not sounded quite right? Maybe you need to check this out.

SoundDomain Sound-Off for 03.26.08
I know you were all worried about not seeing a SoundDomain Sound-Off post to keep you informed of what’s going on in the Mobile Electronics World, but not to worry folks, the Sound-Off is back! I had to step away from the office for a while to take care of some family matters, but we’re back in business! So what’s going on in the world of car audio? Take a look!
- Hybrid Audio has finally released the details and production photos of their newest competition tweeter, the Legatia L1 Pro Series. This bad boy features a machined all-aluminum body, a damped rear chamber, silk-dome tweeter powered by a neodymium motor. Not only do they look sexy as hell, but based on Hybrid’s previous tweeter success, these should stomp the competition!
- If you need some power wire for your amplifier install, Elemental Designs is currently offering 40% off their 4 gauge and 8 gauge power wire. It’s sold by the foot so you can get the perfect length and with this savings you’re practically getting it for free!
- Sirius and XM just had their merger blessed and approved by the Department of Justice and are now waiting on the FCC’s approval. Sorry about your luck commercial-ridden FM radio! So what does these mean to you and how are you going to benefit from this deal? Hop over to SoundDomain and find out!
- After a brief new-product-hiatus, high-end car audio manufacturer Xtant has just revealed their new product line-up. Wood-cone component speakers, leather-wrapped subwoofers, and customizable wood-paneled amplifiers make these products some of the sexiest on the market. Amazing looks and great sound quality… What more could you ask for?

- If you’re looking for a SMOKING deal on a single amp to power your entire audio system, Elemental Designs is closing out their NINe.5 five-channel amp and have knocked $150 off the price!
- If you own a 2004+ Toyota with the Premium Sound or JBL Premium Sound upgrade and you’ve tried to upgrade the radio, then you know it’s not a cheap or easy install, until now. Premium Sound/JBL-equipped Toyotas use a data turn-on for the amp rather than a standard 12-volt system. Removing the radio used to mean rewiring the entire system or bypassing the factory amp completely, but now Scosche offers a device that will interface with the factory amp and provide the data turn-on. And we’ve got a video for you showing just how easy it is!
- Polk Audio’s new home Sirius tuner is out, and a sexy piece of equipment it is! This full-sized component will look right at home in your home audio stack, and offers on-screen metadata to your TV as well as Time Shift and an optical out. Did you know Sirius actually broadcasts in 5.1 surround sound? Now you do, and now you can take advantage of it!
- Zapco’s new iForce amps are out! These amps feature a similar design to the rest of the Zapco family, keeping it simple and sleek. But they also took this somewhat-entry level series and added Symbilink technology so you can take full advantage of Zapco’s amazing sound quality!
