[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7338509, member: 576029"] no, you cannot use the internal circuitry for an amp turn-on, the load on the ipod would destroy that circuit. bad idea. you'll need to rig a switch for manual turn on. remember amp on after you connect the ipod, amp of before you disconnect the ipod. many cars in that era had one speaker in the center dash and one in the center rear deck. yours didn't since it didn't have a radio option? We used Type-R 6x9's for affordability. Hertz High Energy 6x9's are some of the best sounding i've heard. here is an install i did in a 1960 Chevy Bel Air for inspiration [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/1960%20bel%20air/60belair037.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/1960%20bel%20air/60belair035.jpg[/IMG] rear Type-R 6x9 [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/1960%20bel%20air/60belair034.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/1960%20bel%20air/60belair046.jpg[/IMG] existing wiring was a bit disorganized. i added two Bussman ATO fuse blocks, one battery and one ignition (fed from battery through a relay). the sound system and electronics, gauges, etc. are completely separate from factory fuse box. i want to clean this up. [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/1960%20bel%20air/60belair040.jpg[/IMG] we did a retro sound in-dash, comes with vehicle matching trim plate [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/1960%20bel%20air/1960BelAir036.jpg[/IMG] comes in chrome or black and the knobs are infinitely adjustable. has aux input and USB input, built-in amp and RCA outputs. [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/1960%20bel%20air/1960BelAir034.jpg[/IMG] I also put a cruse control system in this car since he drives it to shows. [/QUOTE]
