Radio Help

JZALK3metsfan13 · 03-08-2005, 05:35 PM

i have a 69 coupe. I had speakers installed professionally but cannot seem to find a radio solution...i used a custom autosound head unit, but it was defective and i really don't want to use them again. My installer suggested i find a Pioneer shaft radio, or mount a modern radio in the glove compartment...any thoughts/suggestions?

You can't go wrong with a Pioneer shaft radio. They are adjustable enough to fit the dash opening on a 69 without raping the dash like they have to do on the earlier cars. If you want CD, you can get a shaft radio and mount a cd changer in the trunk or keep your stocker in the dash and mount an in-dash style DIN radio/CD in the glovebox. Pioneer head units have excellent FM tuners and they can be had with high power or RCA outputs to add external amps.

My buddy used a Kenwood shaft mount in his car, I saw they still had them at Best Buy.....a year or so ago. Worth probably checking out. The price tag on them is not to bad. On second thought, I just checked their website and had no luck

JZALK3metsfan13 - I just got the latest issue of Mustang Monthly magazine, on the back cover is an ad for The Paddock Parts, they are showing a Sanyo CD/Cassette combo for 67-70 Mustangs, looks like a new dash plate included, 180 watts. Check www.paddockparts.com, this may be your solution!

Might that be something crutchfield would carry?

Maybe, but maybe not, Crutchfield is more concerned with modern applications. Too bad too, their pricing would be better.
