Rockford Corporation (Nasdaq: ROFO - News) and Mitsubishi Motors North America announced today at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) that the all-new 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder will include a factory installed Rockford Fosgate audio system. The Spyder is the second Mitsubishi vehicle to receive a Rockford Fosgate 650- watt sound system as a factory installed option.

“The Rockford Fosgate system is the perfect complement to the Spyder’s sporty, convertible model good looks and great handling,” said Mr. Dan Vandenbergh, Managing Director, OEM, Rockford Corporation. “It appeals to a demographic looking for a heart-thumping, free-wheeling driving experience. We expect rave reviews for this system similar to the response the system drew as an optional upgrade in the 2005 Eclipse coupe model. It rivals the sound produced by our aftermarket systems and custom installations.”
