Thread: Roadster owners- what are you doing for tunes in your ride?

Tweet

i do not have a roadster not that i would not want one .but i like to hear my engines it is the best song i like to play it best played at 6500+ rpm s .a radio just could not cut it

I put mine in the trunk, out of the weather, and out of sight. Everything is operated by a remote to a little eye on the floor. I always put in a stereo in my cars. On a long distance trip it comes in handy at times. I enjoy listening to the motor at other times, a little of this and a little of that

My head unit is tucked under the dash & my changer is behind the seat under the body. Rain doesn't get to it. I don't listen to it all the time but I do when I'm driving the local roads or our yearly cruise down the rose parade route the day before.

Yea..... it's worth it.

Well, a lot of my problem has to do with the fact that my mistake was cutting a hole in the dash very early in my build without understanding the implications later on. Now I think I have solved the rain/water problem with a nice clear plastic cover over the radio with about one inch space for my fingers and I will post a picture when it is completely installed. However it looks like now I will not be able to change the CD disk with the cover bolted down! I am mulling this over to add a slot which would then nullify the purpose of the cover OR maybe I will just load about 15 or 16 of my favorites onto one disk and leave it in there and just switch between the radio and the one and only CD disk. Still, I often play one track on a CD over and over in my Sunfire and have left one disk of Ace of Base selections in there for several years so I think I can cut one CD with a few favorites from Ace of Base, Mammas and Pappas, Eagles and maybe a few Beach Boys tunes and just leave it in there. Man oh man there are a lot more complications building a kit from scratch than restoring a car! With my MG midget restoration all I did was farm out the body work, buy parts and install all the bolt-ons in the places where they go but now I have to make brackets and figure out everything but then a lot of you others have done that too so I will work it out.

One word........................

Ipod.

I rarely use my CD anymore- I just plug in the Ipod & go.

I hid my stereo behind the speaker grille on my 40 dash and i have an Ipod mount that is removeable by undoing a wingnut.
