“The Beast 3700” – 19”, Sealed, Brushless, (SBL) Electric Cooling Fan At SEMA 2026

LAS VEGAS, NV (11.06.26) – SPAL USA, a leading manufacturer of cutting-edge cooling technology has announced the addition of “The Beast 3700” to its line of sealed, brushless (SBL) fans. “The Beast 3700” is a 19” SBL fan with a depth of 3.2” and a 3700 CFM rating. SPAL SBL products have experienced many years of field use providing extreme reliability, flexibility, durability, and performance under the most challenging environmental conditions in engine/oil cooling, electronics and battery cooling, HVAC, race and other settings. When it comes to versatility, reliability, performance, and quality, SPAL is second to none.

“Boasting an impressive 3700 CFM rating, the Beast 3700 will be a game changer when it comes to superior airflow, quality and durability,” said Thom Balistrieri, director of aftermarket sales, at SPAL USA. “The entire SPAL sealed, brushless (SBL) fan line has taken the race and hot rod community by storm. With tried and tested results, SPAL continues to be the leader in cooling technology,” added Balistrieri.

SPAL SBL fans feature motors sealed to IP6K9K standards (waterproof/dustproof & waterjet capable), integrated power and signal electronics, “soft start” technology (eliminates electrical in-rush spike), digital control for smooth and reliable operation, temperature sensor options for full variable speed control, reduced axial dimensions, low weight and high efficiency. SPAL SBL motors also feature patented “Sine Wave Technologies”, resulting in quieter and smoother running motors that, in turn, reduce NVH and “felt vibration” levels in electric vehicles.

Additionally, the brushless motor design also reduces the number of wear components versus standard brushed technology to deliver extremely long-lasting life. All SPAL SBL motors are rated to operate in high-temperature conditions, higher than typical DC motors on the market today, and are the ideal fit for almost any and every application requiring extreme cooling.

To safeguard itself and prevent premature motor failure, SPAL SBL motors feature numerous protective features to detect problematic situations. To avoid damage to the motor it provides automatic power de-rating in severe over-temperature operating conditions that allow the fan to run at lower speeds rather than cause permanent motor failure. It also checks for over- and under-voltage and locked rotor conditions to prevent catastrophic failures to the fan motor. SPAL SBL technology is specifically designed for applications where airflow performance, low power consumption, automatic speed control, long motor life, and high efficiency are key requirements.

Being a vertically integrated company, our product design, tooling, performance, and validation testing, automated motor manufacturing, injection molding, robotic product assembly, electronic PCBs for brushless motors, and 100% end-of-line testing of all products are done entirely in-house. It guarantees the quality and performance level of every step in the design and manufacturing process to ensure the well-known “SPAL Quality Standard” that, for over sixty years, has distinguished SPAL products in the marketplace.

The Return of the King: MOJO LVS Returns with 4,000 Watts of Burning Love

LAS VEGAS, NV (11.5.26) – Memphis Audio is bringing back one of its most legendary names at SEMA 2026. The new MJ1812LVS 18-inch MOJO LVS subwoofer delivers a massive 4,000 watts RMS and 8,000 watts peak, and this time it is arriving with its own powerhouse: the all-new MJP4000LVS 4,000-watt mono amplifier. Together, they mark the return of LVS in a big way. This is 18 inches of pure shake, rattle and roll.

The MJ1812LVS wears its MOJO heritage proudly with the unmistakable orange cast basket, large high-roll surround and carbon-fiber dust cap. A 330-ounce magnet, 3.5-inch aluminum voice coil and front-and-back-plate DVVC venting support the extreme output. Its reconeable construction allows rebuilding without gluing, while Memphis’ FLEX jumper lets installers select 1Ω or 2Ω impedance.

Memphis did not stop at bringing back the woofer. The matching MJP4000LVS mono amplifier delivers 1,500 watts RMS at 4Ω, 2,500 watts at 2Ω and the full 4,000 watts at 1Ω. Its extruded aluminum chassis with signature orange accent strip carries the MOJO Pro look, while variable crossover and bass-boost controls, 12dB/octave Butterworth crossovers, strappable operation and an included bass knob make it ready for demanding systems.

“We’ve heard the love for LVS for years, and if we were going to bring back an 18-inch MOJO, it had to be a statement,” said Nick LoMonaco, President of Memphis Audio. “Four thousand watts RMS is no joke. We also knew a sub this serious deserved an amplifier built to bring out everything it can do. So we built the MJP4000LVS to match it. This is the kind of big, unapologetic bass that made people fall in love with MOJO in the first place.”

The new MOJO LVS subwoofer and MJP4000LVS amplifier make their debut together at SEMA 2026.

More Control for Drivers, Faster Setups for Installers: MYCAR2’s New Feature Rollout

MONTREAL, QC (11.4.26) – AutoMobility Distribution Inc. is rolling out the biggest MYCAR2 app update to date, and the timing couldn’t be better. With remote start season in full swing, MYCAR2 users are getting new ways to control their vehicles, a completely redesigned dashcam experience and a host of improvements that make life easier for the installers who set it all up.

The headline feature brings MYCAR2 right to the phone’s home and Lock Screens. New home screen widgets put remote start, stop, lock and unlock one tap away, along with engine, door, battery and temperature status at a glance. On iPhone, an active remote start now appears on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island with a live runtime countdown, so drivers can watch their car warm up without opening the app.

For drivers using MYCAR2 with the Thinkware F790AIR dashcam, the update delivers a fully redesigned recording experience. Users can choose which events are recorded and uploaded automatically, filter clips by type and status, view front and rear footage separately, and see exactly where each event happened on a map. Custom alerts and an on-demand Instant View button round out the package.

“Every one of these features came from listening to our dealers, installers and their customers,” said Mike Ethier, Director of Technical Support at AutoMobility. “MYCAR2 was built to give drivers more control without monthly fees, and this update takes that further than ever. We can’t wait for people to see it on their phones this winter.”

Installers get plenty to like too, including:

  • VIN scanning that fills in make, model, trim and vehicle image automatically
  • Input detection wire configuration for alarm or ignition detection
  • Vehicle replacement built right into the setup flow
  • A rebuilt firmware update wizard with clearer progress and one-tap retries

Availability
The update is available now as a free update for existing MYCAR2 users. MYCAR2 is sold and installed through authorized AutoMobility retailers across Canada.

Custom Vehicles, New Portable Audio Mounting Solutions and Expanded Powered Speaker Lines Bring JBL Sound to Life

STAMFORD, CN (11.3.26) – JBL announced it will bring its aftermarket, marine and powersports audio lineup to life at SEMA Show 2026, Nov. 3-6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, in Booth 10451. Three custom vehicles, the RALLYBAR Gen 2 soundbars and new additions to the company’s industry-leading powered speakers lines will give attendees plenty to see and hear at the show.

“Builders and installers in this space need audio that sounds great and holds up, whether it’s on the water, on the trail or in a show car,” said Shawn Spedding, Director of Sales, Mobile Audio Aftermarket, JBL. “JBL has spent more than 80 years engineering sound for stages, studios and cinemas, bringing that same expertise to every environment our customers drive, ride, and cruise in. At SEMA, attendees can get hands-on with RALLYBAR Gen 2, take an early look at the latest additions to our powered speaker lines and hear the difference for themselves.”

Custom Vehicles Showcase JBL Sound

A plethora of distinctive builds will highlight JBL sound across classic car, golf cart and powersports applications. A custom 1970s Chevelle built by Stitched by Slick for DeVonta Smith anchors the display. Squatch 1706, the mean green high-performance golf cart built by ACE Performance is outfitted with multiple JBL RALLYBAR XL soundbars, the Vanderhall Brawley, an electric 4×4 UTV showcasing JBL audio in a fully enclosed side-by-side, and a custom built “machine” on tracks.

RALLYBAR Gen 2 Takes Sound Beyond the Road

Following its debut at the Miami International Boat Show in February, RALLYBAR Gen 2 brings powerful sound and flexible installation options to its first SEMA Show appearance. The three-model family includes the 21-inch RALLYBAR S2 and RALLYBAR 2, each with a 150-watt RMS Class D amplifier, and the 35-inch RALLYBAR XL2 with a 300-watt RMS amplifier. Designed for UTVs, golf carts, boats and other recreational vehicles, the soundbars carry an IP67 rating for protection against dust and powerful water jets, and patent-pending mounting kits offer multiple top and rear positions to suit different roll cages, frames and towers. Two RALLYBAR Gen 2 soundbars can be paired for stereo or linked with other Auracast™-enabled JBL speakers to extend audio across a group of vehicles. The RALLYBAR 2 and RALLYBAR XL2 add dynamic LED lighting that responds to music, and all three models support Bluetooth 5.4, USB and RCA sources while weighing less than the first-generation line.

BASSPro Packs Powerful Bass Into Compact Spaces

JBL will introduce new additions to its BassPro line of powered subwoofers during the show. The BassPro line pairs built-in amplification with compact enclosures designed to add low-frequency output to factory and aftermarket car audio systems where installation space is limited.

Metra Launches Aküstik™ Smart Multimedia Receiver and Vehicle Integration Line at SEMA 2026

HOLLY HILL, FL (11.3.26) – Metra Electronics® will introduce Aküstik™, a brand-new line of smart multimedia receivers and vehicle-specific installation solutions, at the 2026 SEMA Show. The launch combines three receiver formats with a broad assortment of radio interfaces, extension and power harnesses, exclusive radio-specific dash kits, and universal mounting adapters. Together, these products give sales and installation partners a coordinated path from product selection to the finished dashboard.

Aküstik enters the market as businesses across the mobile electronics channel reevaluate their in-dash radio assortments and look for a fresh multimedia receiver line they can confidently support. Rather than requiring each business to build a program around a standalone radio, Aküstik is backed by Metra’s vehicle integration and installation expertise, creating new opportunities for complete vehicle-specific packages while reducing uncertainty during product selection and installation.

The launch lineup offers 9-inch, 10-inch, and 10.1-inch touchscreen formats, including fixed-display, floating-screen, and vehicle-specific mounting options. Each receiver is designed around the connectivity customers expect, while Aküstik interfaces and dash kits help retain supported factory functions and deliver a clean, professional fit in a growing range of applications.

Aküstik Smart Multimedia Receivers
All three Aküstik receivers support Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ via wired or wireless connections and include Bluetooth® wireless technology, AM/FM radio, camera inputs, steering wheel audio control readiness, and built-in sound-tuning capabilities. Model-specific features include high-resolution touchscreens, time alignment, graphic equalization, subwoofer level control, RCA preamp outputs, and shallow mounting designs.

  • AK-9T: 9-inch Smart Multimedia Receiver with a 1280×720 touchscreen, shallow chassis, five-channel 4-volt RCA outputs, and built-in amplifier delivering up to 40 watts through four channels
  • AK-10T: 10-inch Smart Multimedia Receiver with a 1280×720 touchscreen, shallow chassis, five-channel 4-volt RCA outputs, and built-in amplifier delivering up to 40 watts through four channels

Vehicle Integration Designed Around Aküstik
Aküstik radio interfaces are designed specifically for the new receivers and support essential factory features based on the vehicle application. Available functions may include steering wheel audio controls, factory backup and specialty cameras, OEM USB and auxiliary inputs, factory amplifiers, safety chimes, vehicle personalization settings, and HVAC information or control.

The kits are not designed for other aftermarket radios and include the required mounting hardware and installation instructions.
