I am new to this site, but not new to car stereo. I am a mechanical engineer and have been interested in audio since my teen years. In 1982 I built my first car amps, 8 100 w/ch amps, for an 8 speaker system, using Dynaudio drivers. Built my own 12 bit D/A and A/D converters, to adjust the time delay from music arriving from the back of the car to the front speakers. Computer designed my woofer box. Concord radio cassette head unit. Installed in a 1983 Dodge Charger. I have been designing my own speakers and amps for home stereos since then. For my Charger, I also built my own passive crossovers, brand new technology for the time, of "equal compromise" (Later came to be known as Linkwitz-Riley) 2nd order roll offs. Zobel networks. Won my first car stereo competition in 1985 in Virginia Beach.

I am still very active, and joined this site to be of help, and to learn.

You had to break out the cassette player!!! My first car I rocked the cassette player, then finally upgraded and bought a cassette adapter for my so I could use my cd player (walkman but cd player, can't remember the name of it). It was not a detachable face, but detachable radio, pull the whole **** thing out for security!! I am new to these forums as well, but not new to the car audio world. But building your own amp and such, I was 1 year old when you did that.......
