Sorry, I forgot to answer your other question.
I've had no problems with changing cds when in 2nd or 4th. Can't do it in
1st, 3rd or rev. though. My biggest problem is getting to the presets for the
radio channels and adjusting the volume when bouncing down the road. The
buttons are small and rather sensitive and my fingers are large and not to
sensitive.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Dean,
I put a JVC CD player (no changer) with detachable face in my '77. Mounted
nicely into the original dash support, although I had to enlarge the stock
bezel a little to accomodate the mounting bracket for the cd player. I opted
for a suggestion from that list and put 6x9 speakers in speaker boxes, with
extra long cords that allow for the speakers to be placed outside the car.
They fit quite nicely behind the seats and are covered by the top when it's
folded down. I may have a problem though when I try to install the roll-bar
that I just ordered from another lister. Might have to find somewhere else to
put the speakers. (the TSV might get some new speakers!)
Thanks,
Paul Mostrom

Hi guys!
Been out of the office for a bit, and just finished catching up on the past
week's e-mails - you don't realise how many e-mail you get if you read them as
you get them, one at a time.
Anyway, it's been a while since I've seen a thread about car stereos, so here
we
go:
Has anyone installed a CD player without a multichanger in their car? Is
there
room to get a CD in between the gearstick and the stereo on a 1500 Spit
(single-rail)? I've taken a CD out to my car and tried to see if it would fit
-
with the car in 4th gear, it's really close whether I'd actually be able to
get
a CD in or not. If there's no room, I'll probably go for a multichanger, but
I'd rather not because of cost and space.
And another question - if you want to mount speakers in the panel behind the
seats, at the sides of the gas tank, what's the biggest size speaker you can
actually fit into this space?
Cheers,
Dean (with no money for a stereo, but dreams, and Christmas coming up...)
