I don't know about you guys, but I saw Steppenwolf in concert at the old Minneapolis Armory in 1970. It was a great time. Right after the concert me and some bud's from college drove to Aspen for a little spring break ski trip. I don't remember much else.
No plans to "upgrade" from the factory AM radio the car came with. That's fine though, I can pull down the same AM station I listen to in my 07 F150 which is a local classic rock station.
"car audio" is wasted on me, I have zero appreciation for it.
All these "reality" classic car build shows like overhaulin or the chip foose stuff...
Well besides the 20+" donk wheels they put on everything, the time and money thet waste on the hi tech stereo and even video crap makes my head spin.
If they were doing a car for me I'd tell them to save the money, don't bother with that crap because it's going straight to the pawn shop if they put it in/on the car.
Be interesting if one of those shows like, "Pimp My Ride", did a follow up a year or two later on some of their creations.
I'd really like to see how many of those 'pimped to the max' rides they turn out are still fully functional and in well kept condition.
I got a feeling it'll never happen because it could turn out to be quite an embarrassment.

If nothing else the big screen trunk TV's on hydraulics are probably broke from getting empty "40s" tossed on them.

I think the "383 Coyote Duster" sound system is good enough.
My brother had a '69 RR with balanced and blue-printed 383. He had Thrush glass packs on it, which is about the same db level as straight pipes. He finally listened to me and put on a pair of turbo mufflers. Called in a panic about the strange noise the car was making, so I told him to bring it over. He said I had to drive it to hear it. (Yeah, twist my arm.) I pulled down to the corner, hearing this hissing sound. He said, "That's bad, isn't it?" So I turned the corner and put my foot in it, and all hell broke loose as (I explained to him) 383 hungry cubic inches tried to suck in every bit of landscape around. No finer sound in the world, combined with the old Chrysler low restriction or hemi mufflers, or a good set of turbos. We don' ned no steenkin' stereo.
