Dear Friends,
I have the basic, Pioneer (5 1/4" round) speakers mounted in the lowest
side holes behind the seats. I run the low-end Radio Shack radio/cassette
unit in my 69 2000, since that one fits the stock (vertical) radio cutout
with almost no alteration.
I have no problem hearing the cassette player even at 75 mph with the top
down.
How can that be, you ask?
Because I always travel with the same 15 audio tapes and I know each one
from end to end!
In fact, sometimes the sound is best with the unit off -- it's all inside
your head, after all.
Best,
Teddy
