Speaker manufacturer NXT has announced
that Toyota's new 2007
FJ
Cruiser SUV will be the first commercial vehicle to incorporate its flat speaker technology, with the FJ to rock
the enclosure-less speakers in its ceiling panel. The NXT tech differs from traditional conical speakers in that it
uses a light, flat diaphragm to disburse sound frequencies over the entire panel surface as opposed to producing
vibrations that ripple from the center outwards. The NXT-enabled FJ will be available in March 2006 for an
as-yet-unspecified price.
