◄The
old car had a relatively new Blaupunkt Honolulu stereo receiver
with pop-off front, hidden CD slot, and a Creedence Clearwater
Revival CD. I gave back the CD. |
 |
◄The
previous owner had installed a pair of excellent
Infinity speakers in the doors. He used RatShack speaker
grills to discourage theft.
Unfortunately, the left
speaker cone had cracked and it periodically cut out,
and the window winders scraped on the speaker grills. I
got rid of the Infinitys when I replaced the door panels. |

◄This
photo shows one of the Boston Acoustics Micro 80X II "home"
speakers I installed below the dash. The speakers sound great
and neither driver nor passenger bang their knees. |

 |
◄I
also installed a pair of Pioneer
TS-TRX40
self-contained speakers in the back seat to fill in the
sound field and give me more volume to overcome road
noise. (Upholstery color is distorted in this photo.) |

◄Here's
the Delphi SKYFI XM satellite receiver, and an ashtray
converted to hold a cellphone. |

◄New
electronic gear includes an alarm system, Valentine One radar
detector, Wayfinder compass - thermometer - altimeter -
barometer combo, and Delphi SKYFI receiver for XM satellite
radio. The most important add-on is the battery cutoff switch,
to keep the lousy Fiat wiring from draining the battery when the
car is in the garage. UPDATE: since I replaced the clock, I have
no battery drain problem |
