Taiwan? Nowadays, almost all head units are made in China (even by major manufacturers). I do agree that the better known brand name products are better engineered with better parts. I'm currently in the car audio industry and have been for over twenty years. (VP-Marketing for JL Audio)

 

I think someone commented on the hassle of the out of reach glove box. You can do what i did which is hard wire a marine remote under your carpet and install the control, (which actually has a display so you know what you are changing) ANd the remote sits in the center console or tucks under the seat. Just an idea. Or you can go old school and just use a remote but I think the glove box door would have to be open.

You missed my point. I recommend moving up with any manufacturer (even JL Audio) from the loss leader.

 

You'll never see a DIN for the 65-66, or even an in-dash CD, because the hole is too small. However, the Autosound USA66 is made to look like the 65-66 AM/FM radio, except the pushbuttons are the controls for the remote CD changer.

 

+1 on the Autosound USA66, I have mine with a stereo dash speaker and 4x6s in the panels by the rear seat with a small Bazooka sub in the trunk, sounds great and for 20 bucks I got one of those little plug-in-the-lighter FM transmitters that holds a microSD card for all the MP3s I could ever need, it also will connect to an iPod or anything else, just plug it in and tune FM to 88.8 or whatever you set, and there you go

 

I thought the USA-66, at least the current version, had aux inputs for MP3 built in.

One good way to install the USA-66 for stock appearance is to use a dual voicecoil 4x10 in the dash, with both LH channels, and a dual voicecoil 6x9 in the rear under a repro rear speaker grille in the rear with both RH channels. I like your use of the sub to fill the bottom in.

 

I have the USA-630, no need for a cd changer since it has the USB flash drive port.

here is the link to the thread. Learn from my first mistake. Buy a retro stereo from the get go!

In that case you would use a IR Repeater.

Your remote should have the basic functions like preset + - and then CD features.Most of the time the volume is the main function needed and track +-

 

"JL Audio"......I used those speakers and amps on my last car. They sound great!!!!

 

After I started this thread I did a lot of reading up on stereo installs. So many things have changed since the last time I put a stereo in my car(1984). I still could not bring myself to cut my dash, but I really wanted good sound, so I made it high on my list for my interior overhaul.
This is what I ended up doing; B-Quiet sound dampening throughout interior, Shelby radio delete plate, Alpine head unit in custom made steel pod, digital amp concealed in trunk, 5 1/4 kick panel speakers, 6 1/2 rear speakers mounted in the trap door, small but powerful sub concealed in panel behind passenger door.
I'm very happy with it. it sounds great and looks simple.
