My first car was a 1968 NSU Prinz 1000. It came without a radio. I was working for the local Radio Shack at the time, and installed an under dash Realistic 8 Track/FM player and a pair of Jensen 6X9's in the rear deck. Been doing car audio ever since....

1982?

Yes, a 1982 Turbo T-Top 5-Speed. The gold one is an '82 Slicktop Auto and the brown a 1979 GL Slicktop 5-Speed. The only thing different about a "GL" is on the drivers door there is a switch between the window switches. It was an auto window switch.

We had an 82 in the lot for donor parts. The wheels looked familiar.
 
Another one.
Had a KEHM5000 up front with an Alpine 3331 EQ, and MTX crossover (on tunnel so I could adjust while driving). I think there were CV 8"s in the tubes.
Front and rears were Boston Acoustics separates.
It later got a 4th order bandpass.
Teen on a tight budget.

My first car stereo was cobbled together in high school from random used stuff. Pioneer super tuner III, Pioneer 6x9 3 ways and a roadmaster 5 band booster/eq. It was adequate for the car I was driving at the time, a 1970 Saab Model 96. Then I put it in the first car I bought myself, a 69 GTO. I have a different 69 GTO now and have been trying to replicate the old system. I found an NOS Sansui RX-150 stereo tape deck, an NOS Roadmaster 5 band 50watt amp/eq and JL Audio 6x9 3-ways. Just need to finish wiring.
 
This was a fun little "beast". Pretty much unstoppable in the snow, surprisingly.
