73-87 stereo system pics

[flamingbig10]

I need a few Ideas for a stereo system in my truck, so I would like to see pics of every one else,
I have a Kenwood Cd Receiver that puts out out 4 x 45 watts peak and the subs I have are two 10 inch jbl with a 400 watt peak, amp sony xplod 600 watt 4 channel, and two 6 1/2 duals with a center tweeter that are 225 max watts, just need to decied were to put them,

[78 Chevyrado]

Here's what I have, no subs yet.



The Amp powers the 6x9's and the 6.5s. The head unit powers the dash speakers.




These are mounted in the rear cab corners, facing up.

[flamingbig10]

I think I made up my mind for the 6.5s the will go in the kick panels mounted in ply would angled up like the kick panels for speakers then covered, and eventually I'll add a better receiver since this one only has pre amps for the rear speakers, and with a little more power all around

i hate hacking the dashes. since i have a big IPod classic and Pandora on my blackberry, I am going w/ one of those "3 hole" radios that is IPod eady. i never use CDs any more anyway. i am using a kicker, 6X9s behind the seat and dash speakers in the factory locations.

I even thought about gutting some old Pioneer TSX8 or TSX7s that we used to put behind the seat in highschool and updating them w/ some state of the art speakers. i like the retro (i am 40) look.

wont be perfect sounding , but i like the flowmasters better than music anyway!

BTW good job on the 78. its nice and clean. also like the late model Sub seats and console

Are those 3 1/2" speakers you have stuffed in the dash? I am thinking about installing the same set up in my 82

hey red 69, the tape in the deck is an oldies compilation of lowrider music. I went to walmart the other day and bought an mp3 cassette adapter for it and now I can plug in my zune and have alot more variety of music, w/o hauling my tapes around, haha..........

[CLASSIC87']

Stock locations everywhere else with upgraded speakers. Also have a set of 6x9 brackets that I have setting back waiting to be installed.

[low&slow]

i don't know if somebody already said this but for the speaker box that has the chevy logo i would put an amp behind the logo and have a red neon light so the logo glows

[flamingbig10]

I'll will be using a blue neon, maybe when I get another amp I will add it in there, and the base with little 10s hits a lot harder than before, and 6.5 sound good even know there it the floor and they might sound better once there in a pod

[pokethesmot]

head unit


center speaker


the i have 2 6x9s in the doors and 2 6x9s in the rear

I didn't know what your set up looked like. I do like it though. Oh so cleanly done.

Flamingbig10: I like how that is coming out. Looking good.

Here is mine, waiting to be installed. Not pictured are the 4x6 factory door speakers I will be installing...just finished restoring the brackets & covers and modifying the door panels I already had to make them fit.

S&M Electro Tech in Blaine Minnesota. Everything but the exterior is brand new. New modern digital tuner, MP3, etc..

Was somewhat spendy, but well worth it IMO.
