'77 16V gets rescued

Post by **Rennwagen1** » Nov Wed 14, 2007 8:17 pm

Yeah, I got it, seems to be okay, I unpacked it from the box, but left the last bubble wrap on the actual radio to keep it fresh. It was packed very well. Provided that radio can run 4 ohm speakers I can handle that for you(I carry full audio). If it needs something else, (2 or 8 ohm) then you are on your own for those. I was going to call you today about it, but I forgot. Anyway, that is all!!

Thanks Aeron.

Not sure what it's designed to run. I know back in the day those radios would power 2 off the shelf speakers in the door or in the parcel shelf. Poorly, but they would run them.

I just wanted something with FM so I can run my ipod through it.

Sure, I figured that you weren't going to listen to AM radio the whole way back, bbut I bet you could get the farm report most of the way!! Speakers should be 3.5" in the dash and 4x6" in the rear shelves. I can get you into some of those pretty cheaply.

3.5's under the side defrost vents? That might work.

I was thinking about 6" round speakers in the Rocco center console, and 4x6's on the decks.

You wouldn't be able to run 6 speakers with out an amplifier. YOu could run the 3.5" and the 6" OR the 4x6". If you have the ability, I would use the center console. I bet it would sound better.

Agreed, plus they will be hidden.

I'm thinking the 6's and 4x6's.

Not to get ahead of ourselves..............

Yeah, you are right, we have bigger hills to climb first. But, I was a stereo installer first, so I am always thinking..........

Aeron - Not sure if I told you the 1/4 glass seals on that car are totally rotted. I had the glass out to work on the headliner, couldn't find new seals so re-used the ones I had. They really got loose putting them back in.

Please ease my mind and check to make sure the back of the car isn't full of water.

Thanks :grinsanta:

I will do that today, but I am almost positive it is just fine. I can also source the seals for it if you want new ones
