Bahama Breeze!
Attending the 2024 Tint World Expo in the beautiful Bahamas was an absolute must for #TEAMDS18. And we’ll be the first to tell you, the experience was nothing short of extraordinary.
The Tint World Expo unites automotive industry giants from across the globe: this year at the idyllic Margaritaville Beach Resort, nestled in the heart of One Particular Harbour in Nassau, Bahamas. Surrounded by the turquoise embrace of the Bahamian waters, this year's event surpassed all expectations.
Against the backdrop of Margaritaville's palm-fringed paradise, the expo became a canvas of cutting-edge trends and innovations in automotive customization, offering enthusiasts a front-row seat to the automotive world's evolution. The expo seamlessly stitches together seminars, panels, and hands-on experiences with industry leaders: but, the true showstoppers were the LOUD crowd, unveiling the latest in car audio and beyond.
Our killer car audio lineup took center stage, blowing away every industry titan that came to the expo:
DS18 EN-DF10A 10” Amplified Shallow Down Firing Subwoofer Enclosure
Introducing the crowd-pleaser at the expo: DS18's EN-DF10A. This Compact Down Firing Subwoofer Enclosure transports you straight to the heart of your music with a LOUD you can feel. With a 1.5” 2-ohm voice coil, this 10” active subwoofer is built for the long jam session.
Our #TeamDS18 representative, Luis Delgado, kept the encores coming with demo after demo for visitors from across the industry. The built-in amplifier, with a rating of 250W RMS and an astonishing 500W MAX, roars to life sending waves of bass through the enclosure and One Particular Harbour.
The EN-DF10A, armed with dB boosting, phase adjustment, low pass filtration, and a remote bass knob became the star of the show, bringing the 2024 Tint World Expo to life.
DS18 EXL-SQ6.5 & EXL-SQ6.9 Glass Fiber 6.5” 2-Way Coaxial Car Speaker 120W 3-Ohm
DS18’s EXL-SQ6.5 and EXL-SQ6x9 shook up the heart of the 2024 Tint World Expo! The 2-way design of both speakers, featuring a powerful woofer and a crisp tweeter, created a dynamic soundstage that captured every enthusiast at the expo.
Amidst the dazzling displays and cutting-edge tech at the show, this EXTREMELY LOUD coaxial took the spotlight. With advanced PEI dome tweeters to neodymium magnets and black glass fiber cones: the EXL-SQ’s didn't just take the expo by storm – they owned it.
DS18 G4000.5D GEN-X 5-Channel Class D Amplifier 130W x 4 @ 4-Ohm + 900W x 1 @ 1-Ohm RMS
Now, imagine this: the Expo floor buzzing with excitement, car enthusiasts huddling around DS18's booth, drawn by the magnetic pull of the EXL’s and EN-DF. The G4000.5D, with a staggering 4000W of raw audio prowess, charges the entire experience; unlocking audio dreams one watt at a time.
Every live demo demonstrate the G4000.5D’s professional-grade sound reproduction, showcasing its stable and reliable Class D circuit design. Each beat and note were perfectly tuned by #TeamDS18 Representative Luis, thanks to the adjustable High Pass and Low Pass filters.
But let's talk power – because that's where the G4000.5D truly shone. With power output settings that could rival a rock concert, this amplifier delivered the perfect balance of power and finesse. Whether it was 420W x 2 CH bridged at 4-ohm, 220W x 4 CH at 2-ohm, or 130W x 4 CH at 4-ohm, the G4000.5D supercharged every speaker with ease.
Every product was boosted to the next level on the grand stage in a way that only the G4000.5D could deliver.
