Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Welcome Back FT Fans! VizX here as usual and the reason for the title of this post is because this is another week where go-mod’s take the back seat. What I’m covering today has a navigation feature to it which is a real trick addition for a car’s head unit! Yes, its an addition to the head unit, screen and all!

The item is the JVC KD-NX5000, its a single DIN unit so dont sweat if it will fit or not, it should fit most applications of course with a dash kit. JVC is a good company with awesome products and have been providing some of the most cutting edge technological products since 1977 when JVC introduced the VHS recorder to the public before anybody! JVC goes back a long, long time(1927 to be exact) but anyway enough of the company’s history. If you want more history on JVC, check out Wikipedia and you will find more then enough.

Welcome Everybody To The Mod Shop! Spotlight: Memphis Car Audio!

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

Today is another one of those day’s where performance is not on topic today! This is the 2nd post on flytoyz regarding I.C.E(in car entertainment) so far and thought its a new topic for the mod shop, there will be more in the future! Im coming at you on location from the local Keva Juice Smoothie shop, man they have the best smoothies around, I recommend you try one.

Today’s spotlight as in the title is Memphis Car Audio!

The Subwoofer we are covering today is there M-Class. This sub is good for deep bass with less space.If space is limited in your car,truck or SUV and you do NOT want to sacrifice sound quality, the M-Class subwoofer is going to be your absolute best choice! Being ideally suited for small, sealed boxes, the MClass sub generates acute and decent deep bass while remaining flexible enough to work in a variety of enclosures! Here are the specs for this subwoofer:

Continuous Power Handling
200 watts
Maximum Power Handling
400 watts
Sensitivity
88 dB
Magnet Size
50 oz.
Mounting Depth
5.5″
Voice Coil Configuration
Single 4 ohm

Mclass

I myself actually have a power referance series 15″ subwoofer, and by far from experience Memphis audio can take abuse the best. Im not saying go out and get yourself a Memphis and beat the snot out of it the day you get it, there is a breaking in period like any other woofer, but lets just say ive had my fare share of subwoofers through the past 7 years, and ive had the same memphis woofer for 4 of those years. I put my stamp on it!

To find a Memphis Car Audio dealer and to read up on the rest of their lineup of awesome amp’s, subwoofers etc please visit: Memphis Car Audio

Please read there consumer alert located in the top right part of the screen about internet ordering!

Well thats it for The Mod Shop today! I hope you found this helpful when shopping for some bass for your ride! Please stay tuned this coming monday for The Automotive Corner!!

I am VizX, and you have just been modded with ice!!!
