Back on topic

I decided on no in dash head unit and went with a basic marine bluetooth receiver and a throw back to the 80's with the revived Blaupunkt brand. Its arguably only a minor step up from the Pyle quality but right now their gear is cheap and so far it performs good for the prices I paid. The most expensive part of this entire setup is the Rockville pods!

I just put the compact 8" sub under my back seat, it was one of the cheapest low profile subs and while I am sure it doesn't hit the mark for real audio aficionados, its all I need. This Bluetooth dongle is the most basic you can get but it works great.

And, back to the original question of the post, (from over a year ago though, Ha!) I have the same dang Alpine head unit & it’s just about right!View attachment 100835

Nice. Looks good. Need to get my Junk going!

I am contemplating the removal of my bulky and heavy speaker box and power amplifier and going with a utv soundbar. I am looking at the Bazooka G2. There is just enough room right under the dash panel for it. I don’t want anything mounted on the roll bar and don’t care for the fancy led’s. If anyone has gone this route I would like your opinion.

but if I find an old Alpine cassette player, it's going in lol

Look what I found! I dug around for the worst tape I could...Nana Mouskouri (I think they were standard issue in Canada in the early 80's) .

The tape played good and didnt eat it.. unfortunately haha!

I could not find the knobs but they may be at the be in a drawer somewhere, still looking. Everything seems to be in good working order.

I have a little Herdio HMS61 which is a bluetooth block that you hook your speakers into and it plays music from your phone. I hooked 4 speakers into it and it really sounds great. I MAY put an old radio in the slot, but this works great and is very unobtrusive. I velcroed it behind my dash and you can't even really see it.

I "was" rocking my original vintage 1980's AMC Jeep factory AM/FM 40 Channel CB stereo head unit.

This was until one day I happened to see these things were selling north of $400-$600 on that big auction site.

***I decided that it would be better if I kept my property so I removed it, bagged it and stuck it on the shelf in the garage for future days. There is a converter for the radio antenna to work on CB & AM/FM attached to the radio itself also on the shelf for future days or car shows.***

No radio in the dash for thieves wandering sticky fingers.......

I have a Kenwood BT unit in the Tuffy console along with CB & Ham that locks up for security in moments.

Frito can you post up what you have up under the dash ? All I come up with is speakers. Thanks
