how about some pics and details of what you're running for car audio in your classic Mopar.

i'm in the process of putting my heap back on the road, and while i enjoy the sound of a healthy V8 as much as anyone......i kind of like to have the stereo cranking if i'm going any distance at all.

what are you guys using, and how much hacking did you have to do to install it?

Stock AM/8 Track with 3 speaker dash. The radio has been upgraded with an MP3 player jack and better speakers, the "system" sounds pretty good for what it is...

Right now the tunes in my old Mopars is the radio on my workbench......... That's what happens when everything is apart.

My GTS has the stock AM radio and will probably stay that way. My son's Dart has a modern CD player hidden in the glovebox with decent speakers. I will probably do something similar in my Barracuda.

I have an Eclipse head unit with Boston Acoustics speakers (3.5" in factory location and factory grilles) on the dash and 6x9 in the package tray. 2 Rockford Fosgate amps one for the sub one for the interior speakers and a JL Audio 10" Sub in the trunk. From inside/outside all you can see that is out of norm is the little red "Boston" on the speakers through the grills(if you really look) and the aftermarket head unit in the factory spot. But turn it on and it sounds unbelievable for a 40 year old dodge and puts most new cars to shame.

For some unknown reason my orig gas pedal wore out and broke I scored a new NOS pedal with the decor trim and I don't have the matching brake and clutch to go with it so I didn't put it in...

I have an aftermarket radio that fit perfect right in the stock location. Thats all I would use as I wont cut on my dash. If you look real close you might see it. Look at the steering wheel center cap and then look just to the right of it and thats my radio. Hey it works and I can listen to my oldies while I cruise. Ron

A buddy of mine had a stock AM in his '66 Coronet 500 with an FM convertor stashed in the glovebox. Worked for him.

For my pickup ('54), I've got a bunch of pretty good stuff (that's several years out-of-date, but was high end at the time).

Eclipse 5303 head unit for the glovebox (which works okay since the glovebox is in the middle of the dash, and the head unit comes w/ a remote).

I also have an old 10" MTX sub that I may try to make an under-seat enclosure for, or just upgrade to a newer style subwoofer with a lower 'q' factor that works in a small box, depending on whether I can get a big enough box stuffed under there.

I'll re-use my Aura component drivers. Best sound I could find (at the time) in the under-$1K speaker market - and I listened to the Diamond, Quart, etc. offerings.

Unfortunately, (due to theft) I don't have my 3 way 24 dB crosssover; I'll have to get another crossover - I'm a big fan of separate amps for tweeters and mids.

Advice: spend as much as you can afford on the mid and tweeter speaker drivers - they're where the magic is. If you go for coaxials, ones that have an aim-able tweeter are preferable. If they aren't set up to be bi-amped, cut the leads off the tweeters, and put some separate leads on 'em so you can run them from a separate amp. Subs aren't such a critical item - they've received SO much R&D over the last fifteen years that even relatively cheap ones are pretty good. A single 10" or 12" is usually sufficient for musical reproduction (and even moderately high-power BOOM) in a typical '60's sedan). Since I got out of the scene a few years ago, there's been a lot of work spent on getting a lot of sound out of a small speaker enclosure (one that won't eat your trunk).

Most passive crossover sets (ones between amp and speaker) are CHEAP, and most tweeters are crossed over at too low a frequency; this leads to 'spitty' vocals (especially female voices) at higher volumes) - active (between the source and the amps) crossovers and separate amps solve a lot of this.

Subwoofers are really important to musical reproduction. A lot of kids go overboard on them, and neglect the rest of the equation (BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, while the licence plate frame and trunk lid buzz...). One of the best - and many of the worst - sub setups I've heard were 'bandpass' subs. Off-the-shelf stuff is basically hit-or-miss here; usually the latter. Bandpass boxes should be custom tailored to the sub and car. A musclecar-era car is a great candidate for one, however, since there are often speaker cutouts in the parcel deck under the rear window where the sound can come thru. For myself, I'd build an enclosure onto the bottom of the package deck to mound a sub in a BP box to feed thru there. It'd save some trunk space; you'd hardly see it with the trunk open - but just a single driver tucked up towards the front of the trunk will suffice, as long as you have speaker grills in the package deck to allow the sound in.

Buy amps bigger than you need (i.e. 60-100 watts per channel for speakers that you'll run at 30-50 watts); turn the gain down a little, and you'll have tons of headroom. Also, you don't need high-end amps for casual listening. The little tiny bit of sonic nuance you'll pick up by going to a high end amplifier will be lost as soon as you fire the car's engine (ask how I know).

Buy a head unit based on features you like; they all have CD drives and tuner packs that are way better than you'll need - any $100 name brand unit is going to be fine. Go shopping at the stereo store and pick which one you'll like to use.

Also, unless you're running a really big bass amp, I wouldn't run out and put stiffening caps on its input. Any decent quality speaker wire and power wire should suffice - there is VERY little to be gained there other than making sure the conductors are sized appropriately to the power load.

Probably a little "TMI" for your question; if so, here's what I'd leave you with: Allocate half the budget to your speakers; choose a radio based on the features you like.

What mounting points did you use for the amp you mounted on the rear sear brace? Factory holes or did you drill? I had the same idea for my Challenger but there wasn't quite enough room to get at it easily. I plan on doing that once I get to that point with the Charger though. Nice clean install.

I had member bigmoneylewis restore an am radio for my challenger for a great price. I also have a fm converter that is going under the dash. Wish I knew at the time he could ad a mp3 player jack to it, I would've had that done too.

I have an AM 8-Track too. I have the old FM Converter cartridge but it doesn't work too well. My favorite trick is recording my CD's to 8-Track and popping them in when I want some more modern tunes. It sounds great and makes people scratch their head when they hear something new coming from an 8 Track cartridge.

Looks like most of you need to learn about Ipod's...I've put all my CD's on my Ipod (Iphone actually)I've added a connector in my console that plugs into the phone & keeps the battery charged while sending music through my hidden stereo...If your radio keeps you happy great but there are places in California where the only radio stations you recieve don't speak english...I've got 70 days worth of music that I actually like on my phone & unlike a CD player once you turn it on you don't need to touch it....

I'm with you! I have nothing more than a small amp mounted under my seat which plugs into my speakers. I simply run a wire up through the back of my bench seat and use an iPod... thousands of songs at my fingertips!

I think I just drilled...I think there were two holes at the top that I used but the bottom for sure had to be drilled... I'd have to go out and look to be a 100%...
Thanks for the complement

I posted a couple of pictures of mine back in a thread from sept 2007. Hopefully this link will work for you.
https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...art=1&vc=1.

Not sure if you are looking for a hidden deal or a new type of radio in the existing radio hole. It wasn't that hard to fashion up a piece of sheet metal to use the existing radio holes and clamp the radio body to. Then the plastic face plate to cover the sheet metal plate I cut out of one side of my calipers storage box. Pattern looked pretty similar to vinyl really. Good luck with yours.

Not in yet, but FM conversion to AM radio and
SIRIUS. 14-19 ch is good for classic rock but 74 blues
is nuts.

hey dwayne, this is my junk.( ya i know the wood grain isnt correct) its a pioneer deh-3000ib with an i pod hook up in the glove box then just some pioneer 6x9's on the rear. sounds decent enough for me and i dont have much invested in it. you can buy the din stereo mounts for a 68 from yearone and others.

Dual flowmasters make my tunes.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

I was searching for audio threads and found this one. I just had a Kenwood CD player and 4 speakers installed in my 68 Dart. Sounds great, but after running it for a bit, there's a faint smell of something burning, I think. When you turn the power off, the smell goes away. [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean], I'm worried something's now cooking under the dash!

Should my head unit with no amps can be wired directly under the dash to the ignition switch/power or should it have gone to the engine bay on the relay? Thanks!

That's odd, I'm searching for a two-shaft stereo as we speak.... I can't seem to find good ones anywhere, I take it they aren't made anymore.
I guess I *could* toss a new style deck in, but I don't want to if I don't have to.....

Sounds are a must in my ol' Dart since she's only got a slant 6 in her to listen to!

Any recommendations on wiring the power wires under the dash vs directly to the starter relay? If going to the starter relay, is there some sort of fuse used in-line? Thanks!

I used a Sony Head unit with Ipod cable. I have the cable in the Ash tray for the Ipod.

I made the box from some scrap plywood nd some carpet from the parts store. Sounds good. I put some small speakers back in the doors since they had holes already. Added some power lock solenoids while I was in there. That is the red light in the blank guage.

Ouch! Not even a built in CD player for 300 bucks... I guess what else can you do though...
