Okay the 13bats, I’ve read through some of your other posts. I can see you are a positive person who helps others when he can. I put some effort in to try and share something I was excited about with others who may be in the same position, not modifying their car and getting some good sound. You meant well, I was being over sensitive. All is good!
Thanks, i really wasnt being a dbag, just vettes especially convertibles are can i say acoustically challenged,
And i do plan to check that box out, i like its self powered feature,
I never know what i wanna hear and sometimes like jeff i just wanna hear my engine, but other times tunes and with mp3 i carry a few 1000 with me on a zip, what a cool age we live in,
Now, to just get my 69 running and driving
I just listened to the engine for 24 years, finally pulled the trigger and had some tunes installed. I took the engine sound for granted. Just listening to the engine is a special treat now.
I wish your ears well....but not sure they will make it thru life without significant hearing loss. Oh well--you're too young to think about being mostly deaf by 50.
P.S. I played in front of bass speakers for most of a decade. Should have used some ear plugs.....
I have been looking for something like this. Got mine from Walmart 2day free shipping to my door! This thing is the deal.Will fit in a coupe.You can position it so if you want access to your storage you can.Finally a rig you can hear w/tops off blazing down the HWY!! The only thing is, I'm going to relocate the power switch to the front of the unit. THIS THING ROCKS!!!
Will this fit a coupe with a rear window tray?
How much room from the top of the unit to bottom of the rear deck?

I'm still playing in front of lots of speakers!30+ yrs.
Any updates on the speaker? Still running good? Have any of you hardwired it to the car to get constant 12V power? I haven't bought one yet but I think this route will be cheaper than buying a new head unit and speakers.
I’ve run it all summer and the sound is still really nice. I don’t think you will find better quality sound at any price. I was hoping gjohnson would update as well. I would like to move the switch to the front as well. I’m going to clip the cigarette charger end off and go directly to the battery
I have one of these in my '70 coupe. Fits like it was made for it. A couple of thoughts:
Sound is about 7/10. It lacks mid range and high end, but I dig blasting classic hip-hop and rattling the car. (Great for locating loose fasteners) .
The switch is on the back of the unit. You need to anchor this unit (it will roll forward on a hard brake) . I recommend removing the battery from the unit, and using a switched 12V power line.
The 12V supply line sticks straight out the back of the unit. It is a 5.5 x 2.5 male plug. You need a 90 degree connector so you can snug the back up to the rear wall.
The USB plug comes out the top. Again, you need a 90degree USB cable for top clearance
Granted, this is not an audiophiles stereo, but I think I paid $220 on sale at Costco. For the price, it is an awesome drop in that won't require molesting your car. I like leaving the original FM stereo alone (Hell, that cost $278 in 1970!)
The lit speakers look great, and you can remove it any time.
