Thinking of replacing my cassette player with a built-in CD player. Any suggestions Vette Lovers?

Under Forums / General Corvette Topics / Audio/Electronics, or the forum jump box, scroll all the way to the top. :seeya

A bunch of us have replaced the Blose system. I went with an Alpine unit myself. The best mod I have done so far. Check out the Pacific section for our Northern CA get togethers. Many C4's show up with mod'd sound systems.

I concur, I replaced the bose system in my 87 with a JVC Head Unit, and Sony XPlod speakers (6.5" & 6x9's) and it was the best mod I've ever done! (easy too!)

:iagree:

Dump the Blose...it was crap when it was brand new. For what you will pay for a rebuilt unit from DoctorDon's you could buy an aftermarket deck that is 100x better.

I really like the Pioneer DEH-P4500MP It's about $180 from Walmart. It's the only change I'd like to make from this page:

Make sure you get a good one that doesn't skip the CD everytime you hit a bump in the road..

Do you have a PDA? Just use the media player on your PDA. It can hold thousands more songs than your CD case can hold and it wont cramp your storage compartment. Get one of those connection kits to FM. Its an EZ, cheap and moreover better way to do it.
