If I had it to do over again, I would probably go with the Sanyo MAR-B1021. They make a solid, reliable head unit that fits in our dash opening and a much better price. They are not nearly as big either. Here is a link to the Owner's Manual. |
Re: Custom Autosound Stereo Review and Question...
That Sanyo is apparently out of production now, but you can get this Dual XC4100 through Crutchfield for $40. No digital tuning though. Or maybe you can still find a Kenwood KRC-2007.

Check ebay. You can score a solid 2 post deck for about $50 that's 100% better than that Dual.

Re: Custom Autosound Stereo Review and Question...
Although post/shaft style radios can still be found on ebay, yard sales, flea markets and swapmeets . The most important information to have on hand is the dimentions of the stock radio for fitment. Distance between knobs and the actual size of the rectangular opening in the dash. I believe that the center of knob to the center of knob is 6.25" and that the opening is 4.5" by 2.25", someone help me here I'm going by memory.
For the most part any old school name brand shaft style radio; Alpine, Sony, JVC, Kenwood, Sanyo, ect is going to out-perform any of the USA radios. If you are planning to install an amplifier be sure that the replacement radio has at least one set of preamp outputs or at very least speaker-level inputs. If you have neither you will have to use a line output converter, to install an amp, and this will only deteriorate the oversound quality. -Fred |

I think the center opening is standard, but I'm not 100%. |

Re: Custom Autosound Stereo Review and Question...
John,
To answer your question, I am currently using a older 4x60 Rockford Fosgate amp.Two of the channels are running the Tweeter and 6.5" seperates two are bridged mono at 4 ohms for the 6" bazooka located in the stock jack position and the USA-6 is powering two 4" custom autosound speakers in the dash. For what it is it sounds reasonable. Part if the issue is the placement of the speakers combined with road noise, even with the addition of a bit of dynomat the interiors of our truck are basically "hard" materials. They really don't lent to sound quality. I am hoping to replace the current amp with another that has a bit more power, maybe 100x4 that might help a bit I donno. I'll keep you all posted. -Fred |
Re: Custom Autosound Stereo Review and Question...
I don't know how much of a difference it makes, but the USA-6 was bumped up to 240 watts last year.
