I value function over style. I like to get the local radio stations for traffic and weather advisories, as well as mix up the music selection. Thus I decided to just get a modern in-dash unit with Bluetooth so that I can run my phone through it, and get local radio when I want. I went with the Sony high-power and water resistant marine unit, DSX-M80. It does not play CDs. It doesn't look period correct, but it works well.
I have JBL component midrange speakers in the doors with the separate tweeters mounted in the upper corners of the dash/windshield. They are pretty light on bass. I plan to mount a compact powered bass unit on the rear shelf to fill in the bottom. Since I have 1973 comfort seats, there is no room under the seats for the bass unit.
If you have a separate bass+amp or self-powered bass unit, you do not need high power in the head unit, as it only drives the midrange/tweeters. Bass is what requires high power.
