NEW YORK--April 8, 2004--At the New York International Auto Show, Boston Acoustics, Inc. , revealed the all-new 2005 Jeep(R) Grand Cherokee as the third vehicle line in its original automotive OEM program with the Chrysler Group. The premier audio solutions manufacturer will provide high performance sound systems for Jeep Grand Cherokee in partnership with Visteon Corporation . Beginning in the fall of 2004, custom designed, engineered and equalized Boston Acoustics audio systems will be available as factory installed or upgrade options across the Jeep Grand Cherokee family of vehicles.

The systems combine Boston Acoustics' high-quality, high performance speakers and acoustical expertise with Visteon's electronics and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology. Together they deliver clean, clear sound and the smooth octave-to-octave tonal balance, known as the legendary "Boston Sound." Jeep Grand Cherokee will feature a 6-speaker configuration powered by a 280-watt DSP amplifier.

"Grand Cherokee owners are accustomed to superior driving performance from their Trail Rated Jeep vehicles," said Michael Chass, vice president, OEM, for Boston Acoustics. "This sound system ensures they'll experience the same level of performance when listening to audio."

"The addition of the Jeep Grand Cherokee completes the package for our first automotive OEM program announced in 2002 and our initial business award with the Chrysler Group," comments Moses Gabbay, president and CEO of Boston Acoustics. "By the end of 2004, new Chrysler Group customers will have the ability to enjoy 'The Boston Sound' in vehicles from Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep."
