Treo Engineering just wrapped up its biggest ever International
Consumer Electronics Show (CES) ever on January 09, 2006. Treo
introduced several new products including all-new TSX components, SSX
components, SSX amplifiers, and more. The centerpiece of the exhibit
was the TREO Engineering International CXT featuring upgraded wheels
and tires, a complete custom interior, and several video monitors
inside and outside the truck.

At twenty-one feet long with a cab nine feet tall the CXT is the
largest production pick-up truck in the world. “TREO Engineering will
be announcing the Biggest & Baddest tour schedule at CES 2006. This
mammoth machine highlighting our latest products and technology will
travel this fine country throughout 2006,” Said John Henry, CEO. The
highly customized International CXT features a state of the art TREO
Engineering sound system with 24kW watts of power, multiple flat
screens, Recaro seats and performance enhancements. TREO Engineering
will showcase the CXT at dealer locations, regional and national shows.

While more and more audio product is coming from
Asia to be resold in the USA, Treo Engineering proves that America still
makes it better. Recently, Mike Van Horn, publisher of 12 Volt, toured
TREO’s new 25,000 square foot production facility to see what was behind
this rapidly expanding brand. What he saw surprised him in both scope and
technology.
For example, the production facility has 400 linear
feet of production line and has warehouse space for over 600 pallets of
finished goods. TREO devotes more than 4,000 square feet just for the Q.C.
and tech room. And the new factory houses its own machine shop with every
tool imaginable, including two lathes and a Bridgeport milling machine.
TREO’s new facility sits on three acres in one of Omaha’s premier industrial
parks.
Where did the TREO brand come from? It seems to have
grown overnight into a major player. Actually, the TREO factory has been
around for years as an OEM supplier to other famous audio brand
manufacturers. Then in 1999, the owners decided to sell their products
under their own TREO name. The result, 6 years later, is a successful brand
that has grown by more than 400% since its first full year.
TREO ENGINEERING entered the market as a specialty
subwoofer supplier with one of the world’s top SQ, cast basket subs around:
the Street Series (SS). It was all about engineering and the use of the
highest quality coils, adhesives, spiders and cones. Every Treo speaker
component was matched to every other component in order to optimize
performance and reliability. They were then analyzed and stress-tested
under the most severe conditions, both in the lab and in real world
applications.
TREO’s next step was its move into SPL Competition
product with its CSX series in 2000. The result: cars with the CSX owned
the dB Drag World SPL record for three years running. TREO
has been known as the Biggest and Baddest for a reason. What other
factory has an ADI magnetizer capable of fully saturating a 100 pound
loudspeaker motor? What other manufacturer has its own International CXT
truck parked in front with a 24,000 watt TREO ENGINEERING sound system,
multiple flat screens, Recaro seats and performance enhancements?
At about the same time as the CSX introduction, TREO
launched the Treo Series (TS) giving them an entry level subwoofer with the
same unbreakable design as its more expensive siblings, but capable of great
sound in boxes as small as ½ cubic foot.
SQ, SPL and Entry level subs were just the start.
Expansion has been the name of the game at TREO. Last year saw the first
TREO amplifies and enclosures. What’s next? An expanded line of amps and
new, cast basket Component Systems, of course.
The new 2006 amplifiers lines will be the TE family and
a redesigned SSX family.
The TE amplifier family will include 6 models: a 2
channel AB amplifier, a 4 channel AB amplifier, three class D subwoofer
amplifiers and a 5 channel hybrid combining 1600 watts of class D and 800
watts of multi channel full range AB power.
The new SSX Class D competition amps will include the
2.1, 3.1 and 5.1 SSX high current amplifiers.
An SSX line of Component Systems will also be
introduced at CES 2006 as well, featuring cast aluminum frames, huge voice
coils and C.A.S.H. (composite aluminum sandwich honeycomb) cone technology,
giving consumers the strongest and lightest midrange and midbass cone ever
developed. TREO definitely proves that American engineering and
manufacturing are alive and very much in demand.
The entire 2006 TREO ENGINEERING line can be seen at
booth #835 in the North Hall, January 5-8th at the 2006 CES Las
Vegas. For additional information, see

German Competitors Team BS of Walkertshofen, Germany brought their vehicle to
Nashville, Tennessee for dB Drag Racing World Finals and obliterated the
competition at the 2002 dB Drag Racing World Finals. Their mark of 177.6
decibels (dB) was nearly two decibels louder than the previous record, also set
by Team BS at the dB Drag Racing European Finals on October 4, 2002 in Bern,
Switzerland. Led by Wolfgang Fischer, the team is made up of twelve hobbyists
from Germany. Wolfgang Fischer, Roger Jesse, Robert Schmid, Jochen Resch, Jörg
Völkl, and Manfred Burkhard made the journey to America, and Joachim Hössle,
Peter Unterreiner, Bernd Fischer, Schigg Gerhard, Stefan Magerl, and Gerolf
Owesle remained in Germany during the show.

Team BS poses with their VW Type III Extreme 13+ Van
|
Team BS used a highly modified Volkswagen Type III fitted with bullet-proof
glass and a cabin strengthened with steel, wood, and concrete. Their van tips
the scales at approximately 14,000 pounds (approximately 6300 kilograms). Team
BS used sixteen Treo Engineering CSX12.09X subwoofers and sixty-four Directed
1100d amplifiers running on a sixteen volt electrical system. Team BS estimates
100,000 watts of amplifier power was on tap in their van. Many other competitors
at the World Finals were using quad voice coil subwoofers, but Team BS used dual
voice coil subwoofers to set their steel-bending SPL record.
Team BS took home the crown in dB Drag Racing’s Extreme 13+ class by recording a
177.6 dB score on their final run. The second place team, Team Pure Sounds of
Ozark, Missouri recorded a score of 175.0 dB. In the realm of dB Drag Racing
Extreme vehicles, 2.7 dB is a wide margin. In their previous run Team BS had
recorded a score of 177.7 dB.
Team BS won the coveted dB Drag Racing Extreme Cup. The Extreme Cup is a
perpetual trophy that is awarded to the dB Drag Racing Association's overall
World Record holder each season. "It takes a tremendous amount of time, energy,
and money to build a vehicle of this caliber," said Wayne Harris, president and
founder of the dB Drag Racing Association. "This trophy is intended to recognize
that effort." Treo Engineering is extremely proud of Team BS for taking home the
Extreme Cup and winning the very competitive Extreme 13+ class. What is truly
amazing is that these achievements were possible so soon after Team BS first
started using TREO. Within these past 90 days, they were able to beat their own
personal best score, and then go on to win the German, European, and dB Drag
Racing World Finals with a world record!
For the third consecutive year no Treo Engineering subwoofers failed in the
competition lanes at dB Drag Racing World Finals. Even Team BS’s woofers, taking
over 6,000 watts per speaker were able to take the power with no failures. Team
BS also used the woofers in the five-minute Deathmatch competition. Deathmatch
is the most grueling type of SPL competition and it is not uncommon for every
amplifier and speaker in a vehicle to fail while going for the sought after
Deathmatch trophy. Team BS did not have any equipment failures in the Deathmatch.
Unbelievably, Team BS used the same speakers at dB Drag Racing German Finals, dB
Drag Racing European Finals, dB Drag Racing World Finals, and the Deathmatch.
Craig Smith, Vice President of Zooss International who handles international
sales and technical support for Treo Engineering calls this “A great testament
to the reliability, performance, and durability of Treo Engineering subwoofers.”

Treo Engineering is proud to announce the completion of its
Street Series Extreme (SSX) line of subwoofers. The Treo Engineering SSX
subwoofers are intended to be the world’s loudest street bass subwoofer. They
take many of the same technologies used in the championship winning Treo
Engineering Competition Series Extreme (CSX) SPL competition subwoofers and
translate it into great-sounding subwoofers that will stand up to any kind of
abuse.
The SSX12.22 features a massive thirty-three pound motor structure, 3.0 inch
dual two ohm aluminum voice coils, and a Treo-exclusive ultra-stiff penta-fiber
cone. The SSX15.22 and SSX18.22 feature the same penta-fiber cone along with
mind-blowing forty-three pound motor structures and 4.0 inch dual two ohm
aluminum voice coils. All SSX subwoofers feature cast aluminum frames with Treo-exclusive
perimeter venting and durable and attractive polished nickel top plates and
T-yokes. Power handling on the SSX12.22 is 1800 watts RMS and power handling on
the SSX15.22 and SSX18.22 is 2400 watts RMS. The SSX15.22 and SSX18.22 boast 4
inches of peak-to-peak excursion.
The SSX15.22 and SSX18.22 have been shipping since January 2002, but the
addition of the SSX12.22 completes the line. The SSX10.22 has been cancelled.

Ed Koski of El Dorado Springs, Missouri set a MECA World Record at MECA World
Finals October 9-10, 2002 in Shepherdsville, KY. Ed used two Treo Engineering
CSX15.22 subwoofers and two U.S.Amps 2000X amplifiers in a Nissan Hardbody truck
to set a new MECA Drive By Sound Pressure Level (DBSPL) record. Ed scored 127.6
decibels (dB) driving by a microphone at a distance of six feet. Koski was over
two decibels louder than the second place finisher. Hats off to Ed and his shop
Koski Enterprises for their great achievement. Ed really is pounding the
pavement!
Ed Koski also finished third in the very competitive M5 class with a score of
154.7 dB. The two competitors who finished ahead of Ed had at least double the
available amplifier power.
