Audiovox Co-Branded Playstation 2s Coming to Cars

5:45AM Mark Wilson | Audiovox will be releasing custom PS2 consoles for cars. Apparently Sony has handed over PS2 hardware to Audiovox (surely through some sort of co-beneficial licensing agreement), who has then re-cased the hardware and added their own tweaks like wireless outputs (allowing the whole car to share one system). Available in 6 months for a $US200 premium over existing in-car entertainment systems, there will be a front overheard pop-out version of the system (left) as well as backseat units (right). It’s sort of like the soccer mum version of pimping one’s ride. More »

Audiovox Intros the FPS10: A “Discreet” Flat Subwoofer

4:00AM Sean Fallon | The new FPS10 subwoofer from Audiovox / Acoustic Research features a flat design that stands in stark opposition to the big and bulky subwoofers we are used to. At 31.5″w x 4.5″h x 15.2″d, the FPS10 is lean enough to be hidden under a couch or behind an entertainment cabinet. It also features 225WRMS, a 900W dynamic peak 10″ with a 12-inch passive radiator, and a two-way state-aware RF remote control. The only question is, how would a flat subwoofer like this sound?

Audiovox’s Aftermarket Backup Camera Mounts Behind Your Licence Plate

Audiovox Intros New Acoustic Research and Jensen Products At Mostly Affordable Prices

4:48AM Seamus Byrne | Audiovox isn’t so much an innovator as a “value” company, making (or at least branding) products that are fairly cheap in price but hopefully hold together. You probably know Jensen is an Audiovox brand; you may not know that Acoustic Research (along with certain RCA products) were added to the Audiovox lineup not long ago. Today in NYC, Audiovox showed some of the hotter things from its current lineup—Jensen Rock-N-Road XM-capable GPS, the Audiovox wireless surround-sound home theater debuted at CES, and Jensen Code Alarm remote-start keychain with full motion video (in gallery)—plus some fun new stuff… More »
