What Stereo System is in your C3?
My Summer Project for my 69 Convertible is a Complete Stereo System upgrade, So I'm wondering what Stereo Systems you guys have installed in your C3 and how you like them?

Kenwood tape deck with the old style dials so it looks like a cheapie. However, it's also a CD changer controller, with the box in the back. I've got 4 Polk 4x6 plates in the dash and kickpanels, a JBL amp, and a 10" Bazooka in the back.

More details are in that thread

Console where the controls are
The back wall where the Amp, sub, EQ, volume controller, XM reciever, and switchbox are

Alpine 9851 CD/MP3 head with XM SkyFi plugged into the AUX. Kicker 4x6 coax in the dash. Kicker 6x9 coax in a custom-built box in the rear. A very slapped-together, temporary box in the rear that is yet another project to deal with...

I really enjoyed reading about your system install. Its so cool how it is hidden like that...I don't know what Im going to do with mine yet...have to get my car first! and Ive got a few things to play around with for sure before I play with the sound system. To start with (while I mess around with the other fun stuff when you first get a car!) Im just going to play an ipod through the original stereo unit with one of those fm transmitters. Ill also make sure the speakers are ok..if not Ill replace them with a good quality set that fit in the original places without mods.

Excellent sound. Rarely use it.
The engine makes enough music for me.

I picked up this gizmo at Walmart the other day:

"This handy MP3 FM Modulator turns any USB memory drive (not included) into an MP3 player. It plays all of your audio devices through your car stereo system for convenient listening anywhere. Contains MP3 decoding software and a USB port."
Thanks to SteveG75 for the lead on this one
Look for it in the car audio section...

So how does that work Tony? You hook an MP3 player into it then tune your radio to whatever station the thing modulates too? Then it will play your mp3 through your stereo?

The thing you plug into you cigarette lighter is an MP3 player but you also need a memory stick (which will contain all your MP3's) to plug into the player. You then tune the player into a FM station (like 88.7) and get tunes out of your speakers. I'll take a pic later today and post it for ya...pretty neat setup & cheap.
Heres an example of a memory stick:

I guess the correct term may be "USB flash drive".
