In my 67 coupe I am looking to upgrade the sound system. It has a JVC stereo nw. Not very Good........speakers are very tinny.
Thinking of the 300W Custom Autoslide slidebar stereo uprade, new radio bezel and two new 6x9 speakers in back deck and new antennae. Any thoughts? Comments on the stereo.........suggestions for new back deck speakers?
Always appreciate any suggestions.
JVC is a brand name, like Sony for example...means nothing! IIRC there was a JVC unit that would fit the original bezel. Kinda crummy unit! Sorry for the pun but sounds like you're comparing an unspecified stew meat to tenderloin!
For example you say 2 6x9 speakers in the back deck. Two different speakers each "rated" 300W can be different as nite and day, plus how they are installed.
Lots of discussion/threads here on Mustang sound systems added. Hang in there.
I realize JVC is a brand name, but it is an older model, not very expensive when new. Just wondering how the vintage auto sound unit is.....with a couple of new upgraded speakers too.
Thanks.......I'm sure a lot of opinions out there
Everyone that has seen and heard my Retrosound 2 just loves it.
Bluetooth, Mic, USB ports, RCA jacks, it has everything.
I miss it already (it's in transmission shop jail right now).
That's the autosound retro model w/ the Bluetooth. I guess getting the Bluetooth is a must.
Think I'm gonna go with that. Should go in without any issue.:grin2:
Ill do speakers .....nice ones and antennae too.
Thanks
In 1982 I was rockin' w/Jensen tri axles and an equalizer. Must have been cranking out about 12 watts !
Ah, the good old days...

What are you using for audio? An iPhone, android...? I will say from experience that pioneer work very well with Idevices. I plug my iPad into it and it plays immediately. Other brands not so much. Take you media player of choice and a cable to an audio store, test them.
I have Rockford fosgate dpeakers and they sound great!
Enclosing the bottom of the rear deck in a sealed box will make cheap speakers sound like.....well make them sound better. Find a place for a sub-woofer and have enough power to drive everything and you should be smil'in!

I for one don't like the Custom Autosound, I have one in my 66 Coupe and it randomly drops one of the speakers, usually the left front. Also the volume doesn't always work correctly. I'm thinking of pulling it whenever I get around to the rewiring project and putting in the Retrosound unit.
I put a radio in the glove box with Blue tooth, got kick panels with speakers in them, upgraded the dash speaker and rear deck 6x9's. To round out the system I am now thinking of one of the Bazooka tubes, I dont want to have some big box in the trunk. A small 8" or 10" Bazooka tube in the trunk will fit nicely and make good sound. Dont forget to upgrade your alternator, 100 amp here with optimum top battery.
I think what this guy does to vintage stereos is pretty ingenious, don't know what he charges though.
