Sat the 31st of May marked the official opening of the Caraudiocentre Belfast!
In attendance was CARSPORT AND SLICK MAGAZINE, JOHN DEMSTER WITH HIS SPL meter and the gorgeous Katharine, and on loan from the Boys at INPHASE AUDIO was there impressive demo vehicle which hit the highest SPL of the day at 147.5db!! Not bad for a big boy, Followed by a Peugeot 306 hitting 135db! Both impressive scores but we’re sure there is louder out there are there any takers on that?
Jonny the proud owner of the store said “the day was a great success sure we offer low prices but that doesn’t mean we offer low service, service and good sound advice are what we pride ourselves in.
The store will be holding more open days and special events in the near future and there is rumour of a ‘Mobile Bass Fun Fair with its own Ball pit! What will he think of next?!
Jonny would like to thank all those who attended on the day INPHASE AUDIO, SLICK MAGAZINE, CARSPORT, SCOOBY IRELAND, AND THE LOCAL SQ+ CUSTOMERS SHOWING THERE SUPPORT!!!

Three new motoryachts being launched at the Southampton boat show feature Alpine entertainment systems
See them on stand J200, Berths 363, 364 and 365
Coventry, 12th September 2007 - The world’s most prominent luxury yacht manufacturer, Sunseeker, has once again chosen Alpine to provide premium quality on-board entertainment systems for its latest boats being launched at the Southampton boat show which runs from September 14 to 23. The Sunseeker Predator 52, Manhattan 52 and Manhattan 70 motoryachts will feature Alpine’s integrated audio-visual systems, giving owners a high-quality entertainment system as standard.
The Predator 52 is a high-performance motor yacht designed for high-speed cruising and as a platform for watersports, but inside the spacious saloon, with its semicircular seating plan, is a fully-integrated Alpine entertainment system. An LCD flatscreen and Alpine’s DVA-9861Ri DVD/CD head unit with surround sound works with the ergonomics of the living area, creating a cinema-sound effect. The central entertainment head unit also runs speakers into the command cockpit.
The new Manhattan 52 joins the fleet as Sunseeker’s entry-level flybridge yacht, but they feature a similarly high level of audio-visual provision. Flatscreen televisions grace all the cabins, and Alpine CDA-9883R radio/CD systems are found in all the staterooms. The CDA-9883R in the cockpit is controlled with an AOU71 remote, which features its own digital display, and is fully waterproof. The new Manhattan 70 sits at the very top of the Sunseeker flybridge range, and features the same DVA-9861Ri DVD/CD head unit surround sound system as the Predator, not only in the saloon, but also in the aft master stateroom.
In all cases, Sunseeker has worked closely with Alpine to produce near-bespoke sound and vision installations that complement the interiors of the new craft and ensure the best sound quality wherever you are on the boat. The Alpine installations confirm Sunseeker’s ongoing commitment to only providing the highest quality premium equipment on their vessels. On the road, Alpine audio systems can be found as original equipment in Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Lotus and Land-Rover cars.
