Stereo into my 65? pix
Do i need to make custom kick panels for speakers by my feet? I believe my 65 had a dash mounted speaker, and 2 rears? Everything is shot...need to start over not touching factory hu, leaving it...
but is there someone who makes a kick panel for my 65 delta 88 b body?
or any other kits that would help a custom stereo install?

I have had 3 1965 Oldsmobile B-body cars and did the same with all.
1.) Change the front speaker (4x10)
2.) Change or add rear speaker (6x9)
3.) Add an amp. I have used 40 watt amps and they worked good.
4.) Add a speaker crossover and put a sub in the trunk.
This stereo looks like a good deal and is a good price:

With that stereo it puts out 15 watts x 2. That is decent sound for a basic application.

I wouldn't buy anything like that. 15 watts on two channels? You wouldn't have rear speakers. That's a deck that would have been high tech in 1979, in a pickup truck.
Get a nice DIN deck and stick it in the glove box or put it down here, so it's slightly hidden. I used the plastic surround for an adapter kit. You can't see it unless you are looking for it and is still relatively easy to control.
Don't you dare cut the dash up to fit a modern stereo. I will send you hate mail.
You can put a 6X9 speaker in the seat and a 6X9 in the stock rear package shelf location.

Check the Custom Autosound site, as they specialize in stereo equipment for older cars. They have retro looking replacement radios, kick panel speakers, and a Secret Audio unit you stick under the seat and use a remote.
