Hey looks aren't everything - does she have a personality (I mean tell us how it sounds).

Got my Alpine installation done today too. This was a project that started at Christmas and progressed when I could get the ocassion day weekend thru the winter to putz around with the wiring. I cut the DIN opeing in a replacement bezel similar to you project.

System works but in the process have a problem that the park lights won't turn off. Have the battery disconneted now. Need to troubleshoot a little before begging for help.

Enjoy the tunes.

Hello,
Good job and nice photos to show what was done. I have a simialr rear speaker set up in the back. Speakers are mounted to a bracket that uses the shelf area in the back.

It sounds a lot better then the POS Custom Autosound (USA-1) radio that was in there. I can crank it up without any distortion in the rear speakers (same speakers have been there for both). I don't have any front speakers hooked up.

Hey I was wondering, I got a 74 Coupe, does the factory radio use a plug like most cars or is it hardwired in there?
