Rosen ProductsColor-Coded Wiring and ComponentsSimplicity. Rosen has simplified the lives of installers and retailers by color-coding the system components for its new ClearVue(tm) Mobile Infotainment(tm) system. ClearVue's color-coded, component-based design enhances the selling process for both retailers and installers. They will be able to work with their customers to select the components that best suit their needs and desires. Then, the color-coding of the wiring and components makes it easy for the installer to ensure that everything is hooked up correctly. A color-coded instruction sheet helps the installer to speed the installation process, taking less time in the service bay. A further benefit of this system is the ease with which a system can be upgraded. For more info call 541-342-3802, or visit www.rosenproducts.com.
JBLGTi Component SystemsThe new GTi component systems from JBL, available in 5" and 6" models, complement the GTi subs which premiered at the 2001 CES. At the heart of the GTi component systems is an advanced motor technology. Both the C508GTi and the C608GTi employ JBL's Symmetrical Field Geometry(tm) with a new flux stabilization ring designed to create symmetrical coil inductance while the coil is moving within the motor. This dramatically reduces distortion (even when the speaker is driven to its excursion limit). A two-inch aluminum edge-wound voice coil is used on both models. The ribbon-shaped aluminum wire enables JBL to precisely specify the number of coil windings in the magnetic gap, optimizing motor force for high efficiency and reducing distortion. It also provides for maximum power handling and minimum coil inductance for extended higher frequency response. The MSRPs are $600 and $700.00. For more call 800-645-7484 or go to www.jbl.com.
L.A. SoundTribal Series AmpsPower and looks. The new Tribal Series features a striking computer-designed and debossed "Primal Red" finish on its heatsink shroud, high & low level inputs, and switchable low pass/high pass filter & crossover network. The POWER SURGE Power supply regulation system and MATRIX CIRCUIT DESIGN increases efficiency and reliability. The industrial grade heatsink is optimized to dissipate any excess heat released by the amp's power supply. L.A. Sound uses select grade components and employ an efficient design. Power ratings throughout the line, range from 60 watts all the way up to 800 watts. MSRP of the Tribal Series of amps start at $59.95 for the basic 2-channel T260 and $199.95 for the 4-channel T4100.

Reactor Power CellAP-1257Pictured is the AP-1257 which weighs 31 lbs. (The AP-1236 is the smaller model to fit Hondas, and weighs 25 lbs.) The 1257 produces over 1500 amps and is shake-table tested up to 10Gs, making Reactor the choice of many successful race teams in NASCAR, NHRA, IHRA, APBA, IRI, CART, BAJA, and NTPA. Maybe IASCA, dB Drags and USAC will follow. Reactor has powered the F117 Stealth, B2 Bomber, F4, F/A18 and others. Military specification requires a battery that will not leak, corrode, burn or explode (which has happened in SPL type systems). Reactor batteries offer a long life cycle - 3 to 5 times longer than other batteries. Classified as non-dangerous by the U.S. Department of Transportation, this product is not restricted by any mode of transportation, and is not required to display a corrosive label in the shipping carton. I've been using this battery for the past year and a half and I love it! It's the one battery that I endorse! -Rodney Wills.
