So, my car, a 73 911E, suffered an engine fire.
I've mostly restored the entire engine compartment and the engine, and it's winter, and I have much of the interior out (while Im there)..
So, stereo....
It used to have a pretty good stereo, Alpine head, eq, ADS and Nakamichi amps and ADS speakers...
So, in V4, I want to do something that looks appropriate. The 300i A/D/S plates are totally appropriate for a 70s upgrade, so they can stay on the rear deck, and I created an under deck back box in the engine compartment to get the best bass out of them.
Up front, I'll go with A/D/S 320is...got a few of those ready to go. And I'll ficure out how to hide them, doing new door cards and stuff.
Subs, need to figure that out, but options exist, I've got some stuff, I can fabricate enclosures etc.
Amps, I have a stack or period correct choices from A/D/S/, alpine and Nakamichi.
For crossovers and time aligning, I'll go with an Alpine unit, and hide it
. The capability so far outperforms the old vintage 90s A/D/S 642ix, it's just the smart move, plus it has 4+ channels I can use for the tweeters and go active crossover.
But the head unit...what to do there?
This is a candidate...it can get XM with a module and has RCA outs for 4...

Anybody use one?
Other options?
Porsche Classic is more 80s looking and four figures lol..meh.
I like the modern features, but the non flashy look. Blaupunkt stuff was a thought, but it looks mid 80s...
Not sure what Singer is using...I know it's a screen with phone and some nav functionality these days, early were a Sirius unit and a Blaupunkt? (And a Pelican did the Sirius in 2015)
