Tunes

Hello! Today I'm continuing my posts about my car's "cockpit". This is a series of posts is about all the things I've upgraded on my interior and specifically around the dashboard. Today I wanted to write about my sound system.

When I first bought the car it had a good radio, the same one I have in it right now. But it didn't have an antenna and there were wires running everywhere for speakers that were not installed. He just had two speakers in the back seat area that were loose. They flopped around as I drove. It was really annoying. I wanted to put in a good looking speaker system, a stock looking one. So when I pulled the dashboard off I took advantage of the opportunity, and redid the radio.

I rewired the radio.  It didn't have a memory wire installed. It was annoying to have to redo my presets overtime I started the car. I got that all fixed. Now it keeps time, it saves my presets! I bought a nice speaker from auto zone and installed it in the stock speaker location. Now I have great music, it looks stock, its fun to drive. I can drive down the freeway with the windows open and still hear my music. Its such a small car that the new radio and speaker does just fine. I love how the dash is looking, it really has a clean classic look to it!
