[QUOTE="Funky_Junk, post: 5413330, member: 605743"] Hi, I've got a 1966 Dodge Coronet that I'm looking to get a new stereo for. I'm looking for something simple, a head unit and two 6x9's in the back. And yeah, my budget is $300 (not much more). I don't know a ton about car audio so I was hoping you guys could help.
