Re: Radio options

The Amp comes with a power cord. I then wired a 4 wire connector, similar to a trailer plug, to the speaker outputs.

Then fasten the amp to the radio casing. This was the worst part, trying to get the shafts to line up without binding. I ended up making about a 3/16" wood shim to go between the outer case and the Amp. Then made a 3/4" sheetmetal strap to fasten it to the case.

Then just put the upper and lower casings back on and wire it in. I did cut out part of the back of the casing for the wires to exit.

Overall, I think it took me about 4 hours of tinkering and a total investment of about $25.

Obviously, the am radio no longer works, but the original buttons and scrolling tuning knob do still function. And the original on/off/volume knob works as the original, but now controlls the bluetooth.
