Need a radio
Hello, I'm at the build part of my 50 build that now its time to get a sound system in there. I want to use the stock radio location but the only source is custom auto sounds there USA tuners, good, so-so,@&%$# ? Any thoughts? Thanks.

Re: Need a radio
You mentioned Custom Auto Sound which leads me to believe you want to go with a shaft style radio. I went through this process last spring/summer, and I read the crappy reviews as well. Fortunately, I decided to take a chance on the RetroSound Model One based upon a single positive write-up.
They are both shaft-style yet modern systems, and I think quite a few people get them confused because I know I did initially too. The price is a tad steep, but I have been very happy with my choice because I really appreciate the option of using a USB thumb drive or plugging the AUX 1/8 input into my phone. I installed it into my 1980 Suburban through a Rockford Fosgate amp and four speakers and I have been more than satisfied with the sound. But keep in mind I'm not a huge audiophile, but I know what I like.
