You know, thankfully the guys that, you know, Custom Autosound saw this problem and they started making they figured you could make a radio with all the modern functionality and still fit and look like it belongs in the car. You know, like this model 740 from Custom Autosound. This looks like an AM radio, you know, and you would never know any, you know, otherwise unless you turn it on. then suddenly the digital display shows through. You can see the station you're on, you can see the artist that's playing and even the song title. So it has that sort of functionality but it doesn't end there. This is, you know, wile it's a compact unit it boast like 300 watts of output power, but you know if you need even more power, they include a subwoofer lead. So, you know, you can connect it up to that big subwoofer in your trunk and and really get the bass pop pounded in your classic car. You know, it also includes things you know, modern conveniences, like a USB port. Now, you can mount this under the dash or in your glove box and you know, now you can take all your MP3s, all your music, plug it into this drive this drive port, and play those on, on your radio. In addition, you know, there's leads for mic if you want to, you know, actually answer your phone through your radio, it'll, you know the sound will come through on the speakers. You'll be able to actually talk, you know they include a good custom mic for that application, you know, and it has all the the features that you're looking for in a modern radio but when it's turned off and you're just sitting at the car show, it looks just like an AM radio. If you look at, you know, even in our car here we're working on a 68 Cutlass, there's not a lot of opportunities for speakers in the front dash. There's only like a single mono speaker in the middle of the dash. And while that's good, you know worked good in the day, you know, to get true stereo sound you're gonna need two speakers. They do offer twin speaker setups that will fit up into that opening, but better yet, they offer a custom setup where we can actually replace the kick panel in our car and install a 100 watt capable, you know speakers right up into kick panel so we get good stereo sound from both sides and we have that full stereo surround sound sort of experience. Yet, keeping it looking like it really belongs in the car. And we're just anxious to get both the stereo or and our new speaker set up mounted in our 68 Cutlass. So let's get started on that project. We've just completed the installation of our Custom Autosound stereo unit as well as our kick panels. Now, the stereo actually went in relatively simply, you know there it's custom made to fit the opening on the dash. So when we, when we dropped it in the, the knobs and the opening just filled up just like it should be there. And then we went to the kick panels, you know, and the kick panels, we were impressed by how well they fit. And once there were in place they looked like they should be part of the car. It's like Oldsmobile should have designed it that way. All in all, you know, we check that after we got the whole system installed we turned on the unit and it goes from looking like an AM radio to a modern audio system. And we're just dying to try it. We've, you know, actually tested it here in the garage and we've got great audio, great sound great sound level. And as a package, you know, the Custom Autosound stereo system gives us all the modern conveniences of current audio technology, all in a vintage classic car look.
