derek Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 ..and the cassette player works really good too. That's great! Just something about the sound/feel of popping in a cassette in an old truck takes you back to their heyday. I completely agree. I hope to use one of these with a cassette adapter, but I have some more convincing to do yet: LAMTTO 9.26" Wireless Car Stereo Apple Carplay with 2.5K Dash Cam, 1080P Backup Camera, Portable Touchscreen GPS Navigation for Car, Car Stereo Receiver with Bluetooth, AirPlay, AUX/FM, Googel, Siri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 I was only there once many years ago checking out OSU with a then girlfriend and her parents. Remember liking the campus. My setup is- Amp: Kicker DXA250.4 CK8 Sub: Kicker 11HS8 Speakers: Kicker CSS65 The door panels already had separate tweeters installed in the top front corners or else I would have gone a different route just to avoid cutting holes myself. I know the amp is bridged but without going out there and checking, I can't recall the specifics on that. One of those 'did the research, set it up, forgot the details' type things. If it helps anyone happy to look though. It's plenty loud windows up or down (again to me anyways). This is with all of the cab/door soundproofing and speaker baffles so that factors in some I am sure or at least hope You have a much better headunit than I have from what I recall. You seemed to have Kickered the habit. I don’t remember what speakers I have, but need to document that as it is one of the last bits not written down yet. But the head unit is a Sony DSX-GS80. That’s got an “high-power” amp in it so there isn’t a separate amp. It is plenty loud but there’s just no bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I get the OE radio brackets and buttons installed it should be complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 That looks pretty similar, just compact cassette vs 8 track! Well, you do have the extra T also. Today we installed a new blower motor resistor. And we vacuumed out all the leaves. Now we can adjust how fast the heat hits us and there's not any leaf flutter from inside the vents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, this particular model we have LOUDLY ejects the cassette the moment you turn off the car or the radio. I'm hoping I can get accustomed to that. It sounds like something mechanical exploded in the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scbill Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 merely a nostalgic nuance. after a while you will wonder how you ever lived without it. I have one of these, put your favorite music on a flash drive, plug it in tune radio to match frequency, unlimited play time. https://www.ebay.com/itm/314365034233?itmmeta=01HYN88YGNHRYRHCMCYQPJM2DQ&hash=item49319dbef9:g:aQ8AAOSw~~1kk00n&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAABIG9qMU9XCXspLxzan%2FXu6%2FyyZKWFlQKLjFlcZq08xOl0ZgzMKbDPp%2BL50FE%2FMG9pvDvIKWdU6Su3MJY2%2BEubHI4K%2BuVCmo8KEdFTf%2FNqiJBPyG99qeTkN5lePMmpIlUDCBoYLN15I3RvJgQHQ9cY67W7NwDAvS8qBB2jII7WVmYrXF%2F05fymcmoLSa2bGvZPIxSEcB7hW2ldnSDaPWu9Tm8cu3uH%2BAMy30Q5UqUCbSE5bPAiSo3SBEEWCgdDdaSHZwPfKKak95NHn4n3H9aOFGV1fWKcuqiZYAWQTGWEvAd9m%2BJUvjX3zVC0L88RgiC%2FzuUbFHPzOawgVRuPfN%2B8GbY7FSy5iQABkapxQMNcpf%2B4BJxDJOEymsNFFmtw5uOOOA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMzuijqPVj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid I don't understand "do have the extra T also". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
