Re: Show us your shaft-style stereo setups.
Pictured is the radio I'm putting into mine. It is a FM stereo cassette that uses its own speakers so the original AM is still fully functional with its original speaker. I will be putting 6x9 speakers under the bench seat in homemade boxes for the underdash FM unit.
This setup will be cheap ($15 total investment), no cutting is required on the truck, and I retain the factory look of the AM radio. The underdash unit slides out, and I got a second mounting bracket so I can use it in both trucks if I desire.

Re: Show us your shaft-style stereo setups.
I'm thinking that one thing I can get done while I'm here in Japan is an upgrade on the old AM radio from the Blazer. Use the front, but gut it and add an up to date tuner with an aux input and mp3 plug for the front for the Ipod or whatever. Course I'll have to take it out next time I get to go home for a visit in a few months. I'll post up pics if it ever actually pans out.

Re: Show us your shaft-style stereo setups.
Here is my Kenwood KRC 3006 w/cd controls. I've had this for 10-11 yrs. I have a Sony 10 disk player under the drivers seat and a Alpine 100 watt amp under the pass. side and a pair of 6.5" 150 w Klipsch speakers in the doors also a pair of cross overs mounted under the dash. (doors were cut by po) sounds great....

Re: Show us your shaft-style stereo setups.
This is a 20 year old JVC that I originally modified to fit a 71 Monte Carlo that was my DD at that time. Now its in my 71. Fits the truck just great.
Sorry for the blurry picture...my camera seems to have has lost its focus. |

Re: Show us your shaft-style stereo setups.
Many have retained the original radios in the dash and installed aftermarket radios in a swing out, under dash tissue dispenser. The front face plate is simply converted to swing down to expose the radio, and swings up to hide it.

Re: Show us your shaft-style stereo setups.
well, Idon't have an official review yet, but so far I am EXTREMELY impressed with mine. I had my original AM/FM gutted and retro'd with the updated tuner, Ipod input, etc. Gary Tayman at Tayman Electrical www.taymanelectrical.com did it for me. Right now I have junk Kraco 5-1/4" speakers, but the radio functions marvelously! and very powerful. i can barely move the knob without blowing my ears and the Kracos! LOL! I can't wait to get good speakers and proper amps. this thing is gonna rock. Oh, and if you want to see what it looks like, just look at any factory am/fm radio in the dash. that's it! and I don't think it will get stolen very easily either...

I have the exact same unit and it does the job just fine, currently running Sirius in through the tape deck.

Re: Show us your shaft-style stereo setups.
I went down to Napa and bought a I think its a Jensen AM/FM/Cassette player cost me about 35-40 bucks. sounds pretty good. When I first put it in I had it connected to the original single 6x8 or 6x9 in the dash, but switched it to 2 Audiovox speakers (bought them from a friend and they still worked after sitting in her old work van for a few years) under the seat. Sounds really good to me. I think whatever type of stereo/speakers you put in your truck will sound good considering the size of the "theater"

SOME DAY when I get around to installing the 72 Blazer tank I have, I'm going to remove the stock seat tank and put two 6x9s behind the seat.

Re: Show us your shaft-style stereo setups.
Thanks.Mine came (from Orig.Owner.) with door speakers. I'm happy with these.
Are you sure it was JC WHitney you got yours from? What is the model number? With a recommendation like yours,I've got to find one or a similar one.

Re: Show us your shaft-style stereo setups.

I found the box my stereo came in. I usually toss the order papers in there but in this case I did not. The box says it is a "Jensen CP-226". When I get on the google and search for that I get nothing. The door on the cassette deck says CR225X. When I search for that I get hits. Some of the hits on the google are new ones for sale. I'm guessing the cp226 is a package because it came with two speakers and an adapter kit to make those speakers fit 6x9 cut-outs. I hope this helps.
