     1. I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Audiovox  Corporation
     (the "Company");


     2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
     of a material fact or omit to state a material  fact  necessary to make the
     statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which such statements
     were made,  not  misleading  with  respect  to the  period  covered by this

     3. Based on my knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and other  financial
     information  included  in  this  report,  fairly  present  in all  material

     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))  and internal  control over
     financial  reporting  (as  defined  in  Exchange  Act Rules  13a-15(f)  and
     15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:


     a)  Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused  such
     disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
     ensure that material information relating to the registrant,  including its
     consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made  known to us by  others  within  those
     entities,  particularly  during the  period in which  this  report is being
     prepared;

     b) Designed such internal controls over financial reporting, or caused such
     internal  control  over  financial  reporting  to  be  designed  under  our

     external  purposes  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted   accounting
     principles;

     c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure controls and
     procedures  and  presented  in  this  report  our  conclusions   about  the
     effectiveness of the disclosure  controls and procedures,  as of the end of
     the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

     materially  affect,  the  registrant's   internal  control  over  financial
     reporting; and


     5. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on
     our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
     the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board
     of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

     a. All significant  deficiencies  and material  weaknesses in the design or
     operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably
     likely to adversely  affect the  registrant's  ability to record,  process,
     summarize and report financial information; and

     b. Any fraud,  weather or not material,  that involves  management or other
     employees who have a significant role in the registrant's  internal control
     over financial reporting.
