I've seen a box on Flea-Bay that's set up for a 10" or 12" subwoofer and 2 6x9s. It looks like a pretty good set up. Has anybody used that box?

Default Speakers C3 1975

Hi,
I just became the proud owner of my childhood dream. This -75 is mostly original. It seems though that the kick panels have been replaced, but with OE parts.
The original radio is dead but I bought a Retrosound model two which I intend to install, just not to f-k up the original interior. The dashboard speakers surely need to be replaced as well as the kick-panel ones. Any suggestions?

follow up with us on the retro sound. there have been a lot of complaints on its lifespan or lack there of. I almost bought one myself until I looked online.
then I discovered my gauge bezel was already broken so the decision was made to replace it with a single DIN version. I put it in and installed a media center (JVC kd-x250bt). I have no need for cds or tapes anymore. this unit has USB on the face, aux input on the face, is Iphone/Ipod compatible, controls Pandora and is all I'll ever need.

The next step is to install my Polk 6.5's just like the previous post, and an amp and some rear box speakers. right now I am just running off the radio amp and the dash speakers. It sounds ok for the time beng.

To OP, if you have the original radio I do not believe it will drive these Polk (or other modern) speakers. Easy Mike has your solution.




whats up with your passenger floor? is that heat dampening? where's the person's legs gonna go?
