I have a 1971 442 Convertible does anyone have experience with after market radio stereos that will take an ipod connection. i believe I have 2 speakers in the rear (not sure of the size) and one in the dash. Not interested in cutting any holes.
What would anyone recommend?
Has anyone installed the USA from custom auto sound or is there a better product out there.

Thanks

 

I'm not sure who made it but the repo radio I bought from year one that says Oldsmobile on the dial where the cassett slides in is a POS.

Seem like a good many people are putting them under the seat or in the dash w/ a remote control and just leaving the origional as is.

 

Thanks Jamesbo it took me a while to figure out "POS" now that's funny.

 

you can add 2 speakers on da floor on da sides without cutting.. here is a pic of mine....look towards da bottom floor.. i also switched to aftermarket.....

 

Man that is sweet looking.
What after market did you use?
Do you mind giving me the approximate cost?

 

thanks...i ended up going with an alpine indash flip out tv/navigation unit.....i got a really good deal on everything....i paid like 3500 for everything including install....the radio flips out to a tv...the radio i believe was 850....but that was back in 2002...u can purchase one for about 350-400 now....

 

I sent my am factoryed radio out TO TAYMAN ELECTRICAL in fla they install state of the art technology in it . It plays am and fm 180 watts 4 speaker hook ups and rca jacks for ipods or cd player it cost me $360 plus shipping and i get the best of both worlds factory look and great sound you can look them up www. tayman electrical.com

 

Thanks Chepsky I will check that out.
Love your ride!!

 

Wow I just checked out the Tayman site looks like it might be the way to go for me. Thanks so much Chepsky. Did you go with their speakers too?
Are you running 3 or 4 speakers?

I have said it before and will say it again this Olds site is amazing.
So much knowledge and all willing to share!!!

 

I have door speaker for now but closing ang fixing the carpet and getting kick panel speakers . I was thinking of gettig under the seat speakers but i cut a block of wood the same size and it dosnt fit the buckets

 

Sweet layout bro. Looks great. Good quality components too.

 

Where are you getting your kick panel speakers?

 

If you are only in need of an input, check this conversion out.

If you can't hear your engine your system has too many watts.
The audiosonic engine monitor gauges on the sides of your head become useless. When you turn down the tunes and hear what sounds like a Neil Young electric guitar solo coming from the engine it's a real bummer.

 

I just finished installing and after market stero in my 72 conv.trunk and used a controller in the ashtray pioneer makes this set up. I also took the factory speaker out of the dash and installed 2 4x6 pioneer had to custom make the bracket sounds great any ques let me know.

 

Thanks for the input guys and you are so right Bluevista. The stereo is so maybe the wife will come with me the odd time. I think if it was up to me I would be happy just listening to the engine LOL.

I am going with Tayman Electric, (they will rebuild my old), new front speaker and kick panels.
Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

 

What kind of front speaker

 

Its the DV-4014

 

Thanks aceshigh!!!!! Bluevista i hear ya....lol

 

Elecman, Do you have pics of the bracket you made for your dash speakers and do you have AC? I have my dash out and doing somthing similar and was thinking 2 4" speakers but would like to see yours or get the details.

 

If you want to keep it as original as possible, then I think that Redirad has an adapter that connects between the antenna and the headunit that allows you to plug in your Ipod. If you have a stereo receiver, it will play in stereo. If not, they sell a unit that will play back in mono. www.rediscoverradio.com

 

Thanks dingusboy my original radio does not work so I decided to have it refurbed on the inside and it comes with RCA jacks at the back which I can use to run an ipod or whatever just need to get the cord.
