Sound improvements...that don't emanate from the pipe!

TOKYO, May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- D&M Holdings Inc. (TSE 1:6735) and Visteon Corporation announced today they have expanded their relationship to supply Boston Acoustics' branded audio systems to the 2009 Dodge Challenger. The system will include Boston Acoustics' speakers and Visteon's Digital Signal Processing (DSP) amplifier.

"We are very pleased that Visteon and D&M Holdings have been chosen to provide a high-performing Boston Acoustics audio system to the all-new 2009 Dodge Challenger," said President of D&M Global OEM Michael Maloney. "As auto manufacturers strive to provide premium audio to their customers, we intend to exceed the expectations for superior sound by out-engineering our competition."

The 2009 Dodge Challenger will have custom-designed and engineered Boston Acoustics speakers as standard equipment or offered as a factory-installed upgrade option. Combined with a Visteon DSP amplifier, the equalized sound system will deliver the clear, clean sound and octave-to-octave tonal balance known as the legendary "Boston Sound." The 2009 Dodge Challenger will offer an 8-speaker configuration including an 8-inch subwoofer powered by a 368-watt DSP amplifier and a 6-speaker configuration powered by a 276-watt DSP amplifier.

"Using advanced automotive audio technologies, Visteon and D&M Holdings are creating a dimensional sound stage that can put out as much muscle as this American classic," said Steve Meszaros, vice president, Visteon electronics.

"As D&M continues to execute our growth strategy to expand in the automotive audio systems market, the company injects more resources into innovative technology to meet the performance requirements of global automotive manufacturing who are stepping up vehicle entertainment systems for sophisticated consumers," said Maloney.

I am very much looking forward to that. The environment that cars operate in, you certainly need DSP to help make the sound better. I hope it is standard and not a dealer upgrade.
