The Boston Sound in 2007 Chrysler Group Vehicles
The first Boston Acoustics Sound System debuted in the 2005 model year Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum and Jeep® Grand Cherokee . In 2007, Visteon introduced Dolby Prologic II to the Boston Acoustics Sound Systems in Chrysler's lineup. These systems contain six, eight or nine speakers, a 288- or 380-watt amplifier, and, in some cases, subwoofers. Pro Logic® II creates a captivating surround sound experience from any stereo (two-channel) movie, music or game audio source. Listeners will hear all the detail and subtleties of the original stereo content, with the added luxury of full, compelling surround sound that makes the entertainment experience feel as if it's happening all around the listener. A matrix surround decoding technology, Dolby Pro Logic II detects the directional cues that occur naturally in stereo content and uses these elements to create a five-channel surround sound playback experience.
Visteon and Boston Acoustics developed these systems to give Chrysler Group's customers a custom-fit, factory-installed audio system that would give drivers and passengers a sense of "being there" as they listen to their favorite music and fall in love with Chrysler's redefinitions of these head-turning, classic American cars.
As Visteon and Boston Acoustics collaborated with the Chrysler Group to exceed the requirements of these vehicles, it also optimized speaker performance and overall acoustics utilizing the tools of all three companies. In fact, one key aspect of this program's success is how the spirit of collaboration led engineers from all three companies to share their data and experiences at an extremely high level, contributing to a system that provides such memorable, accurate and natural sound reproduction for the Chrysler Group's customers.
In addition, Visteon and Boston Acoustics developed a unique marketing and training program for the Chrysler Group that educated dealers about the benefits of the Boston Acoustics Sound Systems and how these systems complement the Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles.
By combining Visteon's Digital Signal Processing expertise with Boston Acoustics' speaker and acoustic quality, we're enhancing the driving experience by bringing living room-quality sound to the vehicle.
