Hakone Motorsports Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 As I am looking to upgrade my radio in the '76 Z car, I would like to take a look at what you all did for a radio. Ideally, I would like to get an OEM radio (subtle plug if you have one) and upgrade the speakers, or go as far as a small 3" boat radio option in the dash. Regardless, post up what you have for both head units and speakers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I still have my stock head unit, but it is simply a place holder. I have a Bluetooth module feeding directly into a 1200W 4 channel amp and a "spare tire" sub in my spare tire well. Up front I have 5x7's under the fronts of each seat and 2-1/4" tweeters/mids in the dash vent pockets. In the rear I have two 6" speakers in the factory locations in the plastic side panels. The sound distribution is pretty good and the spare tire sub provides just enough bass. Edited March 19, 2020 by lowrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ont240 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) I used a Sony radio from a 98 Honda Civic. Fits easily, has a CD, clock, Aux pin input on the face. see pic attached. Pick your speakers according to expectation! Stock location at back side panels and under front seats.

HuD 91gt Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 My wife bought me a retro sound radio a few years ago. Requires trimming your own faceplate but it’s as correct as one could ever ask for. bluetooth, MP3 whatever. Honestly it never get turned on, but looks great. Light green writing really sets it apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuanagao Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I removed basically all the climate control from the center and custom fitted an Alpine Halo 9. Can't live without CarPlay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manninen Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I use noise cancelling bose headphones on longer trips. Lightweight and best sound for car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 +1 on the retro sound. I just finished a complete restoration so I ran the mic up to the corner of the sun visor so the Bluetooth and hands free calling is a nice add. I also have tweeters in the dash vents (I wanted everything to look stock), 5-1/4 in the shallow kick panels, 6x9s behind the seats and a 12” sub with amp in the spare tire well. Best part is none of it noticeable. I can find some photos of the install if any one is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcdef Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Do you guys have pictures of the speakers under your seats? Would be interested in hit you mounted them! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
