Just wondering what some of you are using for a modern radio. My 72 Comets a/m has got to go! I realize places like custom autosound make models that require no dash trimming but like many people, I am on a budget. One thats even tighter with two projects now(turbo 2.3 pinto wagon also). I don't really care if it is cassette or CD capable. I know about the old f/m converters but would rather upgrade to a modern higher powered system. Peyton in Ohio
Your 72 Comet should have a removable bezel. You can cut the center out of the bezel to accept a modern DIN type stereo. On my Maverick it worked out that the finished DIN opening was just inside the raised Chrome stripe.
future shop hey go to future shop or best buy i live in canada they did mine for 50 bucks canadian and did a great job put the speakers i bought as well and they used a new face plate give them a whirl they will figure it out i tried to do mine big pain in the but worth the money
I installed mine myself. It's a JVC indash AM/FM/Cass with a 12 disc CD changer in the trunk. Two 6x9 speakers in the rear window & two 6" speakers in the kickpanels. Plus two amps, one under each front seat (1 powers the subwoofer in trunk). The othe powers the rest of the system. I had to cut the bezel to accept the new radio, but looks awesome with the faceplate that came with the system. It has a detachable face also. Been in the car for 3 years now, no problems. Car is in a carport, not a garage.
Forget that, install an entire carpuder in there with a touch LCD screen covering the old AM radio slot. Where in a maverick could you mount a small computer anyways? I mean, it would be only a few inches high and maybe 12" wide/long.
