Good Tunes
Had a request from a member for some pics of my sound setup in my 74 coupe so I thought I'd post it for everyone to see since I don't hear many people running a bazooka tube.
I took pics of the head unit I used, kinda just threw it in there in the stock location. The volume and tuning ***** are huge on the original so you can still see them in the pics. I used an Aiwa, great radio/cd player, I highly recommend getting a head unit with an auxilary input on the face of the head unit that uses an earphone jack. This is great for mp3 players, tape players...your 8-track, or anything else you want to listen to while driving. You can even listen to memo's or your laptop as long as you can hook up a male-to-male earphone wire from radio shack. That red thing is a shifter lock that I fabricated to fit my c3, it is made for the c-4. Filled inside with rock hard compound and moulded to my shift ****, prevents pushing the button to shift out of park.
Ran the wires under the carpet, really easy.
I mounted two "L" brackets to the rear of the compartment where the Bazooka tube is mounted. It comes with two straps that I used to suspend it in the air to prevent rattles and so I can still store the t-tops back there. The bazooka tube is very easy to hook up, I beleive it can be spliced right off your rear speakers, it has an internal amp.
Its an 8 inch subwoofer but not an abnoxious one. It sounds very very clean and really completes the full range of sound in your car. Turn your base up on the head unit and it will thump but adjust it the way you like it and you won't be disappointed. Even with the T-tops off it still sounds great.
Up front I have pioneer 3 ways. They were a PIA to get in there as the dash needs to be pulled. My grill was broken so I just took it out as I already had the carpet dash pad. I also have pioneer 3 ways in the kicker pannels over the #2 body mounts.
All in all, I think the sound is perfect. Will be trying to replicate the same setup in my 68 vert.....but with a NOS bazzooka tube!
Hope this helps Ross.
