wow must people in here dont prefer to put a "system" in their classic. Im 15 and I will keep the car looking stock with something like this http://mustangsunlimited.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=MSUSA5+01. I reccomend that you do the same. If you want something that is after market do not destroy your dash!

An aftermarket sound system is well worth the money. When I bought my 67 Mustang, it had a $200 Pioneer head unit and two wussy aftermarket speakers in the panel behind the back seat. A few weeks ago, I had two 12" Audiobahn subs put in a box in the trunk, powered by a 1000 watt Power Cruizer amp and two 250 watt speakers where those sucky ones used to be. I'm 18 and I don't get why anyone wouldn't want a system in their car... unless its a 64 or a fastback or in mint condition. But for any resto mod project, i think a system is a must. And my dash isn't torn up either.

A system isn't necesarily a bad thing but I think with classics most guys prefer to keep it stock and hidden. I for one will be putting in the origional am radio after I weld in the dash plate because some jackass cut the dash to put in a cool mp3 player with a cd!!!

Did you guys put your cd players in the glove box or mount it under the passenger side dash? That is what i would do. My dash has a big hole in it and an after market cd player wont even fit there! Hey Pak Join the club. I got my dash repair kit. I cant weld so ill pay $250 to get it fixed right. I swear it makes my car look HORRIBLE.

If you cut your Dash at least make it nice. Mine looks like some redneck used a chisel!

I installed my radio under the dash, under the ash tray. I got a 460 watt amp, and a ten in the trunk. I got 2 5 in. pioneer speakers in the front and two 4x6's in the rear. SOunds pretty nice, and no mods to the car whats so ever.

I don't know who mounted my head unit, but it looks clean and like it was meant to be there. I don't know how easy it would be to restore it to stock, but I don't plan on pulling my $900 system any time soon. I don't think that having a high tech CD player can really take away from the classic Mustang, unless its in mint origonal condition.
