iXOOST, a Modena-based audio manufacturer has launched its new lineup of luxury speakers in Malaysia. The products are built by hand, and are officially licensed by Italian automotive companies including Mercedes-AMG, Lamborghini, Abarth, and Pirelli.
Among the products iXOOST has launched include the Esvox Automobile Lamborghini, Avalan Automobile Lamborghini, AMG Performance Luxury Audio, Pirelli P Zero Sound, XiLO, Radial 6, Kubo Abarth 595 and Kubo Abart 695, and the Bluetooth Speaker Helmets.
The Esavox Automobil Lamborghini is a high-end sound system created using an actual Lamborghini exhaust. It features a carbon monocoque chassis, a passive vibration damping system, and a high-sensitivity 10-inch subwoofer.
It is also equipped with three 400-watt amplifiers integrated with Bluetooth 5.0 Apt-X technology. The Esavox is available in some of Lamborghini’s most iconic colour combinations, including Green Gea, Grey Keres Matte, Orange Anthaeus, Red Epona, Blue Uranus, and White Siderale.

The Avalan Automobil Lamborghini speaker sports a pair of actual exhausts from the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica, alongside a hexagonal grille. It is also fitted with 80-watt Class D amplifiers that power two 1-inch tweeters and two 5-inch drivers.
Lamborghini colour combinations that are available for the iXOOST’s Avalan speaker include Contrast Bianco Isi Shiny, Blu Aegeus Matt – Contrast Blu Astraeus Matt, and Bianco Asopo Shiny – Contrast Viper Green Shiny.
As a tribute to the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, the AMG Performance Luxury Audio speaker from iXOOST is the first and only hi-fi system in the world to bear the AMG brand. Resembling the grille of the AMG GT Black Series, the system sports a carbon fibre monocoque, aluminium grilles, the AMG GT exhaust design, as well as two woofers, four tweeters, and two bass reflexes to deliver a 360-degree sound experience.
The Pirelli P Zero Sound speaker is a product of a collaboration between iXOOST and Formula 1 tyre manufacturer Pirelli. It features a 130 mm mid-woofer, and a 25 mm silk tweeter, housed within an actual F1 tyre, or a scale model of the famous wind tunnel tyre (WTT) from Pirelli for those who prefer to have the speaker in smaller dimensions.
Colour options offered with the Pirelli P Zero Sound speaker include yellow, red, and white, all of which are used in the Pirelli F1 tyre range to distinguish the different racing compounds.
Described by iXOOST as the ultimate expression of “made in Modena”, the XiLO speaker features a monocoque chassis in wood and aluminium. The chassis is complemented by a hand-made exhaust manifold and is powered by a 2X100 + 1X200 watts amplifier. Thanks to the Bluetooth aptX technology, users can stream music files directly from their smartphones, tablets, and computers.
The design of iXOOST’s Radial 6 speaker has been inspired by elements typical of the aeronautical world. It features a combination of tweeters, midrange, and a woofer.
The speaker has also been tilted slightly backwards to distribute the sound uniformly around the dock, contributing to a three-dimensional look. Together with the lateral positioning of the tweeters, the sound comes across much more balanced and with an optimum stereophonic effect.
Last but not least, the Kubo Abarth 595 and Kubo Abarth 695 Bluetooth hi-fi system is a replica of the Record Monza exhaust. iXOOST designed the product to celebrate the speed record obtained by Carlo Abarth on the historic Italian circuit.
The Limited Edition 695 variant is also dedicated to the Scorpion’s 70th Anniversary. These systems are equipped with a microfibre dome tweeter and a single mid-range speaker, all powered by a 1×100-watt amplifier.
Besides performance car-inspired products, iXOOST has also unveiled its new Bluetooth Speaker Helmets. The first product of this series is the Dovi # 04 Sound, a Bluetooth speaker made from the original SR-GP racing helmet which Suomy developed for Moto GP rider Andrea Dovizioso.
In a separate collaboration with Bell Helmets and with the approval of the Hunt family, iXOOST also crafted a Bluetooth speaker inside the original helmet of the 1976 Formula 1 World Champion, James Hunt.
The full range of iXOOST’s products are available as configure-to-order starting today. The company also said that a lead time of 3 to 4 months may be expected, due to the custom nature of each order. Prices will also vary according to individual model, ranging from RM80,000 TO RM240,000.
For a limited time from December 2023 onwards, customers may view and experience the iXOOST audio systems at Hoe Huat Electric, located at Lot F-01 to F-03, First Floor, Encorp Strand Mall, 47810 Petaling Jaya.

This is a significant step for us in sharing the rich tapestry of Italian craftsmanship and our racing heritage on a global stage.
