What kind of sound system do you have in your horseless carriages?

What types of sound systems do you have? Stock? Custom? A wind up phonograph that you drive around with? Under dash record player, Cd Player, 8 track? Chime in!
Me, I'm keeping it stock. Currently restoring my single speaker Chieftain radio, a 1955 radio with a 1956 power supply/speaker. Gonna build a good quality small AM transmitter so I can play my ipod through the original system, while still being able to listen to the couple of music stations as well as the news and talk show stations on AM.

Open headers

 

Zip, nada, nothing, they're hot rods.

 

lmfao

 

Smittys

 

an alpine cd player hidden in the glove box, some tweeters hidden behind the stock speaker grill and some infiniti speakers hidden under/behind the dash. A packaging nightmare but at least you can't see any of it. I hardly ever listen to it but I listen to the radio on my stock 1989 tape deck in my daily all of the time. Go figure.

 

big motor, spintech race mufflers..

 

Dynomax Hemi super turbos and a Tremic 5 speed. That song never gets old.

 

Lake headers. Volume is on the floor board. Had it cranked up today.

 

yes

 

These!

 

Mine had 1200 watt system in it when I got it. I pulled it all out. When I am cruising in my ride, I would rather listen to the car for any telltale noise warning of a potential issue.

My 55 chev still has the pioneer supertuner fm/8track on the floor that I put in around 77/78 and has the stock am radio in the dash just to fill the hole

 

I have 11 antique cars. The radio works in three of them. (when I bother to turn them on) The 65 Mustang convertible has a Beach Boys tape in it, (Surfing Safari), I play that one real loud!

 

We don't need no stinkin' radio, couldn't hear it anyway.

 

Nada.

 

Twice pipes

 

What did those hub caps come off originally? Other two on the rear?

 

Flathead with three deuces singing my favorite tune.

 

There is no need for a radio in a hot rod. None.

 

Flathead and SBC

 

exhaust capable of decibles well above the average camery.
i'm off to work now, so i think i'll crank up the volume while i'm gettin' on the freeway

 

Tuner and amp under the seat with USB port. Marine remote on a hinge under the dash. The wiring was done before the interior and the speakers were put in by the interior shop behind the headliner and rear panel so nothing shows except the antennae.

 

Dual exhaust & glass packs,,all the sound system any Hot Rod needs! HRP

 

Yet you don't know how to check for spark to get your engine running?

Uh, yeah.. right.

 

Winters q/c all the sound i need

 

Granted,,running & driving car was much more important to me when I was a 16 year old. HRP

 

Restoring a radio is as simple as taking a solering iron, removing the old components, put the new ones in and bam done.
Checking for a spark is different, maybe because it's a car engine compared to a little radio? I've never worked on an engine before and I worry that I'll hurt myself and or break something. So, shush with that.
