[QUOTE="Kai Winters, post: 3502055, member: 574994"] Mine was an FM converter attached to the bottom of my dash with sheet metal screws and wired to the AM stock radio in the dash. Added an 8 track, was so big it mounted on the ****** hump with more sheet metal screws. All was spliced into the front door panels...no saw to cut out the door panel holes so I used a hammer to bash the opening large enough for the speakers, don't remember the diameter...then spliced to the Kraco 4" wedge speakers screwed to the rear deck. All this ran off the AM radio power and was hot wired so the car did not have to be on for the system to work. Oops could not forget the book of matches to hold the 8 track in place so it did not skip. This was in May of 1972 a few months before I turned 16 1/2 and got my license. What a piece of crap system but it was mine and I loved it. [/QUOTE]
