    Speaker mounting, 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser

    Nice surface mount job, looks clean, not factory but clean. I was thinking of getting a set of shallow prefab 6x9 boxes and mounting 'em to the rear sails. Just run screws through the speaker holes in the plastic back there so I don't cause much damage. Was thinking these boxes and speakers...

    Speaker mounting, 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser

    Well that's not what I wanted to hear, I wonder if I can find anything that actually fits. Guess I'll find out eventually.

    Head unit cosmetic dillema

    If you notice, my dash has a 1.5 DIN opening already, so I can't just cut fit the stereo and make it look flush. Sadly the stock shaft knob panel from the 86 is long gone. Either way I don't like the way modern head units look in my car. The classic car stereo's are pretty cool, and I have...

    Speaker mounting, 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser

    I've already found 'em, I'm just not sure if they will fit, did you take a look at the photo? They use a very strange mount.

    Head unit cosmetic dillema

    I drive a 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser which is soon to get an interior from a wrecked 1989 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, this is the dash I am working with: http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g139/Dead-Reckon/1989%20Oldsmobile%20Custom%20Cruiser/100_2022.jpg Stock 1.5 DIN Delco unit will not...

    Speaker mounting, 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser

    So I was securing the spare tire on the back of '86 Olds Custom Cruiser, as I regularly have to do, it likes to come loose, and I decided to take a peek at how the rear sail speakers are mounted since I am going to replace them. They use a basket mount, they are 4x10's, and I am not sure if I...

    head unit alternative

    Man this thing isn't letting me reply when I post links. Note taken... This forum doesn't like links. Anyway, I'm thinking of going with the double DIN JVC KW-HDR720, I know my dash opening is only 1.5 DIN, so I have to find another inch somewhere, but if you Google "Double din third gen...

    1992 Camaro RS Speakers

    I won't let go of my car even when it has 300k miles, I'll just take it apart and fix everything. Anyway, thanks for the info, I was told with crank windows you have to do something with the cranks to make the door speakers fit. Guess not. I'm not entirely sure about doing door speakers though...

    1992 Camaro RS Speakers

    Alright so, my question is, has anyone done a custom system in a 1992 Camaro RS? That's a third gen, by the way. I know there are 4x6's in the dash, optional 4x6's in the kick panels (Why on earth would you put 4x6's in kick panels?), and, 6x9's in the rear sails. I know about the kick panel...

    What Brand of Head Unit Do You Have ?

    Currently, a demonically possessed Boss Audio AVA-2680R... The previous owners left it in the car, and it doesn't really work. It doesn't play any CD's, and I mean any. Tuner still works, sometimes... It tends to turn on randomly blasting the local country station... "94.9 Star Country"... For...

    head unit alternative

    Basically, I'm just wondering if anyone knows an alternative to the flashy, over the top units out there on the market today? I don't like the glowing lights, most of them are blue, and the ones that feature variable colors still don't match anything in my car. The only car they would match...
