Boston Acoustics Now Shipping Entry-Level Mobile Audio Subwoofers
May 30, 2006

Peabody, MA, May 2006—Boston Acoustics, Inc., a premier manufacturer of high performance audio solutions for use in aftermarket and OEM automotive systems, home music audio and video systems, and custom built-in audio systems, is now shipping the new Boston G1 design, available in 10- and 12-inch models. Delivering a combination of performance, value, and ease of installation previously unknown to the mobile audio world, these entry-level models will delight new and experienced autosound fans alike.

The G1 duo joins Boston’s SPG555, G5, and G2 subwoofers to complete the industry’s best-focused array of subs for the consumer. While the G1 10- and 12-inch models are priced for entry-level buyers and value-driven systems, both use the same cutout size and are engineered for optimization in the same sealed or vented enclosure volumes as their G2 and G5 siblings. In fact, all use the same enclosure size, whether sealed or ported, allowing an easy upgrade path from G1 through G5.

Other than diameter, the two G1 intros are substantially identical and capable of delivering terrific bass performance, thanks to their robust, 2-inch voice-coils and impressive 1.75-inch maximum excursion. Both new subs feature Boston’s patented RadialVent® voice-coil cooling design and SureSet™ impedance-selection and driver-protection system, and both offer high-current, 8-gauge input terminals that ensure maximum installed performance. The new Boston G1s also boast exceptionally shallow mounting-depth requirements of 4.75 and 5 inches for the 10- and 12-inch models, respectively, and optimal response in unusually compact enclosure volumes (0.5 and 1.0 cubic foot). This makes them the most flexible and easily installed high-value, high-performance subs for both pre-made and custom enclosures in virtually any vehicle, including standard-cab pickups. Consequently, the G1 can deliver stunning performance with terrific sub-bass impact, even when installed in a vehicle with tight depth restrictions. The G1 subs are also available in single and dual 4-ohm versions, allowing the user to optimize the impedance load to the amplifier regardless of the number of subwoofers used in the system.

Manufacturer’s suggested retail prices:
G110: $109.95
SVC 4-ohm or dual coil DVC (4-ohm/4-ohm)

G112: $119.95

Note: The product will be available internationally in the coming months.
