71 Convertible: Please Build My Stereo
The last time I installed a car stereo was 1983 (Pioneer Super Tuner was all the rage). Having said that, I like some help selecting stereo gear for my 71 convertible.
I don't want a rolling boom box, but I'd like to be able to hear/feel the music going down the highway with the top down at 70 MPH, so I guess a sub woofer is in order.
I'm willing to get replacement kick panels and a new dash bezel to cut up. Other than that, I don't want to do any irreversible mods.
What would you suggest for gear, and where should I buy?
Thanks

oh gosh u dont need to spend that much.
Check out an alpine headunit
Get kickpanels
Polk db6501, woofer in kickpanels, tweeters in dash (kickpanels dont allow for alot of depth but these will fit)
Then maybe 2 8" subs in hatch and a decent sized 4 channel to power it all. What are the specific, wants and goals
