Tunes

[thejunkman]

So, my 67 custom cab has no radio. Not sure how it came, but at some point someone cut out a single din hole, and did some hack job wiring. There is a single speaker in the dash that must be original because it says Fomoco. It's all torn up though. It looks like some PO may have had a headliner with speakers, since there are wires up there that go nowhere. Anyway, I'd like to have some tunes as painlessly as possible and keep the old look and feel. I am estimating the OG speaker may be a 6x9 or close to it? Does anyone know a decent multi range speaker to replace it with? And years ago I used to get magazines that had ads for vintage style radios with modern features. I can't remember the company. Any ideas? If they cost too much I will have to put a modern head unit in, but I'd like to go with an old school look if I could afford it. I don't need amazing sound, just something other than engine noise that sounds clean, with either cd or iPod capability. I'd like to listen to George jones while cruising dirt roads, haha.

I got lucky with my 67 and an aftermarket stereo(plus 2 tiny kickass speakers) that I got from a member on here

I bought the vintage looking radio from LMC with the dual cone speakers, I like the looks of the radio and it fit perfectly. I didn't get the CD player, but it does have an input jack for an MP3 player. I strung that over to my glove box, so I can plug in my phone, mp3 player or whatever in the glove box and play over the radio. It works good.

The dual cone speaker is okay - but not the greatest. I'm not pleased enough with it to really recommend it, but I didn't send it back. It probably sounds better than the original ford speaker though.

I see they have two different ones. One is like two smaller speakers that replace the stock and the other is a single dual voice coil 6x9. Which one did you get?

Thanks for linking that thread. One advantage I may have to give me some flexibility is that I don't have any heater controls or anything near the radio opening. And my truck is not show worthy, so I have a decent amount of options I'd think.

I installed the dual and it is ok, but I will be adding better.

Dual what? Dual speaker or dual voice coil?

I've searched and researched this until my eyes bled and I still cannot come up with a concrete answer...Is there any modern type 4 ohm coax speaker(s) that I can buy that is a direct fit into my dash where there wasn't one originally?

I have a modern type high power Custom Autosound head unit(modified to fit) to install in my truck, but my truck was a radio delete truck, so there was no radio, speaker or speaker bracket to work with.

I remember watching a session of Overhaulin one night and they installed what I thought was two speakers in a 6x9 enclosure.
