What stereo are you using
 

For 10 plus years we had no tunes in our car. Stupidly when I ripped everything out the first time I laid the carpet before wiring it up again.

Well now that the cars apart and getting ready to go back together, I picked up some decent Alpine 6x9's and 4x6's for up front.

I am not so much a fan of the newer head units so we found an older style pioneer super turner to use. Hoping that it all sounds pretty good.

So what are you folks using ?

Well my stereo was ripped off back in fall (along with my 5" monster tach and shift lite :mad:) but they left the wiring connector for the stereo, (idiots!!!) so I found an exact replacement for now on Ebay. Its a Pioneer DEH 3900. I like it because it has an auxillary input for my MP3 player to feed tunes into. I rarely have cd's in the car, and usually cant find much on the radio around here i want to listen to at the time, but my blackberry has several hundred of my favorite songs on it, so I always have great tunes ready and waiting.

As for speakers, stupidly I put one of those stock replacement type single front speakers under the dash and a pair of pioneer 6 x 9's in the back. It wouldnt be as bad without that crappy cracklin front speaker. Next time I take the dash apart that will get replaced with something else.

Wife and kids got me a Ken Harrison stereo a few years ago for Christmas. Fit's in the dash with no cutting. We're a ways from Detroit and I've got the antenna in the windshield so reception is not that great. Mounted a remote CD player in the trunk that my son had lying around so that works good. Need to install some speakers up front when I redo the dash.

My 66 has the original am in it...but it's an AM /FM now ;) and you could never tell.
The 69 I have the stock in place....but have this baby hid in the glove box with a infrared remote.:cool: and a nice set of 6x9's in the back and duals in the stock dash area.

Eventually I will build a floor console for my car. Until then, I am stuck with the jinky in-dash post style jensen tape deck inmy car, with the crappy speakers that are in it.

I have a Pyle CD head unit with USB and SD slots, and the animated EQ that will be going in. I want my triple gauge set, my head unit, and speakers integrated into the console unit, 5-1/4" 3 way rounds pointing towards the back, and 3 way 6x9s down under the dash pointing outward. I have high hopes for this thing, and am hoping to build it around my floor shifter, and include a storage compartment and cup holders too....and the switches for my exhaust cutouts.

My el Camino already had the radio hole cut out for the DIN config. So, I went on my trusty local CraigsList and found a great deal on a Pioneer DEH P680MP - It's a Satellite/AM/FM, CD, Aux input w/ removable face and a nice big round volume knob. It's got the usual 4x"50" watts and I'm running a set of KLH box two-ways mounted just below the rear "deck" panel facing forward, and a pair of Blaupunkt coax 5" cut into the kick panel covers.

I mounted the satellite receiver in the back storage pocket w/ velcro so I can remove it and plug it into a similar Pioneer deck that's going into the Malibu. Don't have to pay for more than 1 subscription that way!!
A decent inexpensive system, overall.
The Malibu will get a very similar set, but the rear speakers will be Blaupunkt coax 6x9s mounted to a reinforced rear deck w/ a custom grille cloth cover, so you can't see 'em.

I put a new replacement unit from Hinshaws in, but have listened to it only a very few times, I enjoy the sound of the exhaust more.

I usually go for USA-630 or USA-5 bc I can keep the original look of your car.

15 years I owned mine and STILL just a hole where the stereo goes!
