1972 Scamp, my regular cruiser
Well, the winter has set in here in Southeast Ohio. The salt trucks have been out and that means my two old Mopars are likely to hibernate for a while in the garage. I drove the Scamp a LOT this summer and enjoyed the hell out of it. The only project I have planned for the winter is to update the radio and speaker. I found a fellow Mopar guy who will replace the insides of my AM radio and turn it into an AM/FM stereo with AUX input, USB, and Bluetooth. I think this is a great option for those of us who don't want to hack up our dashes.
I have removed my stereo and mono speaker and sent the radio to:
Ricks Radio Conversions - Radio Conversions, Car Radio Conversion
I'll post pics of the new radio "guts" when I get them from Rick.
I have decided to replace the front mono speaker with this:
Custom Audio
The new speaker has perfectly matching mounting holes so install should be easy. I thought about going with dual 3" or 4" round speakers with the mounting bracket sold by a member here, but decided to try this option first. I have heard good reviews and it was only $45 on Ebay.
I'm not going to immediately install rear speakers, but will probably do so.
Here is the current set up I've been running. That is a wireless bluetooth speaker that was sitting on top of the dash.
Here is the radio before I ship it off:
