BROADVIEW, IL (7/12/05) -- Blaupunkt has introduced four new component speaker systems in its Thin Line series of space saving car audio equipment. Each speaker system consists of a high quality 3/4-inch tweeter, an external crossover unit, and a cone woofer that features a mounting depth of under two inches, allowing for a wide range of new installation possibilities.

Each Thin Line THc component system woofer incorporates Blaupunkt's exclusive Fringe Field technology, originally developed for the company's flagship OverDrive speaker line. This proprietary engineering and design technique employs an innovative magnet and voice coil arrangement, reducing mounting depth by an inch or more and cutting weight in half, making these speakers ideal for difficult installations.

Each system features a high quality 3⁄4-inch dome tweeter, including both flush and surface mount baskets for a wide array of installation options. Woofer cones are constructed of stiff and lightweight injected polymer and include convenient multihole mounting to fit nearly any vehicle. High quality rubber surrounds ensure that the driver will continue to provide high quality reproduction for years to come.

The new Thin Line Component speakers are currently available in three complete packages featuring woofer, tweeter, and crossover packages: the THc540 with a 5-1/4 inch woofer, THc650 with 6.5-inch woofer, and the THc660 with 6.6-inch oversize woofer. Each has a suggested retail price of $139.95 per two-channel set. Additionally, the THc50, which includes just tweeters and crossovers, is available at a suggested retail price of $69.95.
