add speekers, or boom box

[housew]

anyone rock a boom box / ghetto blaster and just toss it in the back seat?

 

My 69 510 currently has the stock am radio, with one speaker, and although the PO said it works, i don't know how to use it / can't figure it out. So i have no tunes (am probably wouldn't give me tunes anyways) and i like tunes.

 

so my options are

1) install newer radio in glovebox or hidden somewhere and replace single speaker with 1 really good one just to get some tuneage

2) replace AM radio with new fangled one and replace single speaker with really good speaker

4) replace radio with new one, add front speaks in kick panels, rear speaks in/on parcel shelf

5) leave it along and toss a boom box in the back seat. I really only need/want tunes when i cruse alone so the space isn't an issue, I could use it in other vehicles (i have some other radioless whips), could use it at the beach ect

 

I'm leaning towards the ghetto blaster, just didn't know it it was actually too ghetto. Anyone else done it, think its awesome, have experience.

 

looking at the lasonic (super modern with inputs / bluetooth ect ) but still looks the part

Have you considered this? http://community.ratsun.net/topic/55621-make-yer-very-own-aux-input/

 

I did it in my 610 and retained the stock look. I love it.

i have one 6x9 and a small amp and its loud enough to hear over my carbs and exhaust

seems pretty cool to just mod the stock radio. I'll need to look into it and see if i can figure out how its supposed to work and figure out why if there's something wrong with it besides me not knowing how to turn it on. That's really all i want it for is a little noise when i want it.

 

I need to remount my speaker too, i have that pesky ecu where the speaker is supposed to be, so its just flopping around.

Keep it stock looking.

 

Amp under seat to power some speakers. Aux to amp from your phone/mp3 player.

Do what you want, it's your car.

I really was leaning towards just getting a ghetto blaster due to its awesomeness and versatility. Well see. I'll probably still go that route, but the aux in for the stock radio would be a good little side project (like i need one of those)

I sold all my spare drivers windows cause they had coo big stereos in them. Then stolen

 

I have a stock am radio in my 521. with the window open on occation soemone will throw another stock Hitachi AM radion in the seat. Still have this radio in vehicle

 

 

My 510s dont have radios any more since they been stolen, but it was cool at the time

[housew]

yea, theft isn't a real big thing up near me. I don't lock any of my cars at home or at work, occasionally in the "city" but its just not common. I just want to leave it stock looking for the look really.

You can still have awesome sound without loosing the stock look. If you think a gheto blaster is awesome then this is the way you should go.
