Beat-Sonic introduced the Encore Boost at the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The compact amplifier is built for 2021 and newer Toyota vehicles with JBL premium sound. The company said it expects the product to ship in early December.
The Encore Boost works as a line driver amplifier. It adds full range RCA preamp outputs so owners can add a subwoofer, such as an underseat or powered unit. The outputs track the factory volume, which Hendrik Wildy of Beat-Sonic Japan said has been a challenge with newer Toyota systems. Subwoofer levels change with the factory head unit and steering wheel volume controls. A plug and play harness comes with the amplifier.
The company also showed the Encore Sigma, which it released recently for Lexus premium sound systems. Beat-Sonic said Lexus owners have had few upgrade choices until now. The Sigma also has RCA outputs for a subwoofer. The company said more Lexus applications are coming.
Beat-Sonic also featured the Encore X DSP amplifier. It comes with DSP tunes loaded for the Toyota Tacoma, Tundra, RAV4, 4Runner and GR86. A Beat-Sonic tuner from Japan sets up each vehicle cabin. The company said it plans to add more vehicles.
Beat-Sonic also showed a compact powered subwoofer that it recently released in Japan. It uses two 6.5 inch woofers and a passive radiator built into the base. One connector handles the battery, ground and remote wires. The company said it will share more details later this year.
A new demo board lets visitors switch between a factory Toyota head unit and the Encore Alpha 3 series amplifier. The board uses six factory Toyota speakers.
All Beat-Sonic products plug into the factory wiring with no cutting or splicing.
