Spring Break Tuner BashPrimedia will open the doors for its 2nd annual "Spring Break Tuner Bash" in Daytona Beach, FL on March 22-23, 2002. Daytona Beach is the getaway for 350,000 college students from all over the United States that come to live it up at the wildest spring break location around. We have teamed up with The Plaza Resort & Spa, which is home to the hottest club in Daytona Beach, 600 NORTH, to bring the car audio and compact performance worlds together for over 100,000 party people. DB Drags, the dueling dyno challenge, two bikini contests, and a car show with the best looking rides at spring break make this the perfect recipe for fun. Like last year there will be a concert for 5000 of our closest friends on March 23 on the main pool deck looking over the Atlantic Ocean. In 2001 Paul Oakenfold energized the crowd! It was intense and we plan to make it better. You'll have to be there to see who will be headlining the concert this year! Join us at "Tuner Bash" to party with your favorite editors from Car Audio and Electronics, Super Street, eurotuner, Import Tuner, and Auto Sound & Security. For more info log on to one of our Web sites, or call 323-782-2697.
Crown Audio And Jbl Mobile Join Forces Crown Audio, the worlds's leading maker of commercial and live concert amplifiers, was acquired by JBL Professional in March 2000. You're asking, what has this got to do with car audio? Nothing - unless you like concert level audio in your car. JBL Mobile and Crown have joined forces to develop the world's most powerful car audio amplifier. The first model to hit the market is rated to deliver 6000 watts RMS, and utilizes a new patented amplifier technology to ensure clean and efficient power delivery. Car Audio and Electronics has secured exclusive coverage of this amplifier and will be running a complete article on its development straight from Crown headquarters in Elkhart, Indiana in an upcoming issue. What woofer can handle all this power? We are aware of one series of subwoofers, coincidentally (or maybe not) from the same company. Could this be the combo to break the world SPL record? Stay tuned. V
