The CriticalLink™ range of FLAT series cabling from VIBE 

The VIBE CriticalLink range of cabling has been developed to achieve the critical link between source (headunit), amplifier and speakers –
VIBE audio equipment is high quality, using anything less than the VIBE CriticalLink™ range of cables will severely compromise your
equipment and will not allow it to perform to its maximum potential. 
NOTE: Your audio equipment will only ever be as good as the cables you use to connect it. The link between your audio equipment is critical
for a bigger cleaner sound.

VIBE cabling and interconnects can enhance your system power and sound quality by more

than 20% over other brand cable

.

FLATSTEREO™ High Definition full range Interconnect

The VIBE FLATSTEREO RCA is an OFC high definition full range interconnect – delivering the fullest signal possible from source to
amplifier - the cable make up has been developed to run flat with left and right cables running parallel both with individual screening but
sharing  an outer FLAT jacket easing installations. 
Available in: 

Model: FlatStereo RCA 1m – 1 metre full range interconnect 
Model: FlatStereo RCA 5m - 5 metre full range interconnect

FLATBASS™ – SolidCore™ Bass interconnect 

The VIBE FLATBASS™ interconnect has been specifically developed for use in BASS SYSTEMS - the cable make up has a unique super
FLAT™ design easing installation - Its trick ingredient is oversized SolidCore™ OFC signal wires - allowing a heavier voltage to be passed
down the cable. This is the central wire that caries the main signal from source to amplifier. 
Available in: 

Model: FlatBass RCA 1m – 1 metre BASS interconnect 
Model: FlatBass RCA 5m - 5 metre BASS interconnect

FLATFLEX™ High Definition speaker cable

The delivery of power and signal to the speaker is the final CriticalLink™ in any audio system – VIBES FlatFlex OFC high definition
speaker cable is produced from super fine OFC copper strands collectively picking up all the detail in your music – the multi strands
are aligned in a row making the cable super FLAT™ which can be run invisibly under carpets. 
Available in: 

Model: FlatFlex 16 SPK – 16 gauge High definition flat flexible speaker cable 
Model: FlatFlex 12 SPK – 12 gauge High definition flat flexible speaker cable

FLATLINES™ Power and Ground Cable  

VIBE FlatLines™ power cable has been developed to maximises voltage transfer from battery to amplifier - The cable has 2 main lines
running side by side which are made up of fine copper strands - This design makes the cable flat allowing us to make very slim heavy duty
power cable which is highly flexible easing installation.
Available in: system kits, by the roll or by the metre

The VIBE FastPlug™ (pat. pending), is a product long overdue. Designed and developed by VIBE Engineers the plug
offers safe, fast removal of your active bass enclosure (bass box) or amplifier. You may wish to remove your
system for security reasons, or for the full use of your boot space, whatever the reason the VIBE FastPlug makes
it easy and safe. 
The plug is a heavy duty connector that connects positive, negative and remote wires.  It is made up of 2 parts –
one end to connect to your equipment and the other to your power source – made from high quality ABS plastic
the device is tough and hard wearing. 

Model: FASTPLUG

The Deltabox line driver is the ideal solution for those looking to install multiple amplifiers from a single RCA preout. Most people use
RCA “Y” splitters for this task unaware of the signal degradation caused. The Deltabox not only divides the signal but also isolates and
boosts the signal up to a maximum of 9 volts independently for each of the 3 output channels giving much cleaner sound and
excellent signal to noise ratio. For SPL competition the Deltabox is an essential tool as each of the outputs can be split 4 times giving
control of 12 amplifiers from a single gain enabling precise adjustment of the system without having to reset every amplifier
individually. Additionally if your headunit has a weak preout or you wish to run multiple amps but only have one output the Deltabox™
is your ideal solution. 

Model: DELTABOX

The VIBE 1.5 farad power capacitor is a must for any high performance audio system. VIBE’s 1.5 farad power capacitor
bridges the gap between the vehicles battery and the amplifiers ensuring rapid smooth current flow resulting in louder
tighter bass and clean crisp midrange and treble. The built in digital voltage display constantly and accurately displays the
systems DC voltage. An all new VIBE power distribution block is built into the top of the capacitor to allow easy wiring into
the system and also will allow 3 amplifiers to be wired directly to the capacitor for maximum current flow to the amplifiers.
