Old Man with a Hat
Hi guys
While I am waiting for the nice weather I am shopping a replacement aftermarket radio for Tricia
When I got the Polara in 2013 it had an older 1970’s Craig am fm with a cassette tape deck
It works well for low volume listening but once on the road it can’t handle any higher volumes and the speakers swamp out
I thought it was the speakers and replaced them with the same results
I thought it was the low dollar speakers I had bought so I bought a pair of mid $$$ range units only to get to the same results
60watts
I now think it’s the radio itself and looking for a close to but not period correct looking radio
The Craig is old and power wasn’t a big concern back in the day
Who has replaced theirs with a good quality radio that doesn’t break the bank?
I understand that in a convertible I’m going to lose some sound quality but want something that I can turn up without having the sound go for a **** when driving along at moderate speeds
