Stereo suggestions for my 67 Impala
Permalink  

HI:  I got my car booked into a stereo shop on Friday as there is a squealing in the radio since I installed the 100 amp alternator.  

They are going to check it over and when I booked the appt they told me that there were much better options for a radio than what I have.

The digital display cannot be seen in the day time and is marginal at night.   Had a usb port for playing music but did not work really well.

I have speakers in the doors and 2 on the rear parcel shelf.

I had an amp installed about 5 years ago 

I currently have a USA 5    (I will check further into this)-----  It is a Custom Auto Sound unit.

Just looking for a few suggestions for a replacement.

Thanks

Cliff.

 An 8 Track player is what you need for those rockin sounds!   I think 1967 was the first year for that as a factory option in Chev and Pontiac. Heck they're practically given them away on ebay!  (the cartridges that is)

OOOOPPPSSSSSS

Just went for a tour and noticed the radio started up with a Retrosound logo

Cant trust my memory any more

 I had ordered the Custom Radio and waited for almost a year with multiple promises of delivery.  Finally cancelled the order after contacting Custom Radio directly.  I had ordered it on ebay from a reseller and they went bankrupt.   Fortunately I kept all of my emails back and forth and MasterCard sent the charge back to the defunct company.

Whew!!!

try something like this before you buy a new radio

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/scosche-scosche-10-amp-100-watt-single-stage-noise-filter-es004-es004/10362920.aspx

with the new alt did you run the alt output power direct to the battery and redo the grounds?

I have has several old cars and newer trucks with aftermarket stereos...  Always the same  can't see the face or numbers w/o my glasses on wink  buttons stick  lousy sound    I would put a stock 67 radio in my 67 (if I had one) and use a portable sound system    A lot of my cars engines sounded better than radio anyway  (2 cents)

 Ditto. I like no stereo in a classic.

I do have a Pioneer aftermarket with all the bells & whistles in my 2006 truck though.
