Hi, just got a 71 914 for my first car. This is my first post. My car is in pretty good shape considering its been in a garage and hadnt seen the road for just over 30 years. I got it running now, and now am just working on the cosmetics. All im looking to buy now is a stereo. I dont want an overpowering, extremely expensive stereo, but i want something that will fit nicely (without cutting into the doors), and will still sound good too. Ive got a decent amount of money to put into it. Anyways, what are you guys using? Please dont say u dont have one because it ruins the driving experience. Its a cruiser/commuter, not a race car. Thanks!

I'm just finishing the installation of my stereo. While it can't nearly compare with the other posts, I'm happy with the way it came out.
My head unit is a '74 vintage Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo with push buttons and input/output jacks on the rear. On eBay I found a "Kip" input harness made for iPod and plugged it into the input. From the same company I bought another harness for the output to an amp. I found an old ADS four channel amp on eBay and mounted it in the center console. For the speakers, I bridged the 3rd and 4th channels and am running a pioneer sub in the footwell box I bought from a member vendor. I modified the box so it is completely flush and hidden under the carpet. The fronts are pioneers to be mounted in Mikey914 units that accept round speakers. Currently in the doors,which were cut by a PO. Finally I'm running a Power Acoustik PWM 19 equalizer with sub output which is discretely mounted under the dash on the driver side. I listen to playlists on my iPod and it sounds great at any speed with the top off. Even my wife raved about it and she is non-plussed by this stuff. Best of all, other than the speaker pods, it looks 100% stock and didn't cost a ton. |
