| In this edition of Eastwood Garage, it’s all about tunes. George Swade from Custom Autosound is on hand to discuss classic car stereo upgrades with Dennis Gage. To begin, Dennis shows George the radio that came out of his wife’s 1963 Falcon. This thing is a monster and was low on power and tinny on sound. Recently, Dennis replaced this entertainment dinosaur with a custom system from Custom Autosound that looks stock but sounds brand new! At that point, George tells Dennis that Custom Autosound has replacement systems for more than 400 different vehicles.
George then shows Dennis the replacement system for a 59-60 Chevy Impala. This radio, just like their other systems, is configured to fit into the stock opening. That means no cutting, bending, or ripping up the dash of your classic car! Also, this particular radio operates their optional 10-disc CD changer. In addition, these radios have auxiliary inputs that accept iPods and other MP3 players as well. Next, Dennis poses the question, “What if you have a really weird-shaped stock radio?” “Never fear,” George says as he promptly displays the vertically mounted replacement radio for a 1963-1967 Corvette. Like he said—radios for more than 400 different models!
Speakers were the next topic at hand. George told Dennis about Custom Autosound’s new line of 6 X 9 Dual Voice Coil Speakers, and then he showed Dennis their line of kick panel speakers that mount right into the interior of the car. Dennis had used a set of these on the Falcon and said that they were awesome! These kick panels come in black and can be painted to match your car’s interior. Finally, if you have limited space in your vehicle, George suggests using their Undercover Stealth Speaker that can fit under seats or in other close areas. These speakers have a built-in subwoofer and put out fantastic sound. So there you have it! Replacement stereos for more than 400 models and a variety of speaker systems that can fit wherever you need them to. It’s all courtesy of Custom Autosound.
