[DML] Re: Turbo and Audio

[Marc A Levy <malevy@xxxx>]

I see the turbo question was already answered.. 

The DeLorean dash board has a metal plate that is cut for a older style
shaft radio. (Part # 106639, Page 7-3-0)

There on not many of them left, so when you find them they are
expensive.

Some owners have chosen to not cut the plate, and install a newer shaft
style unit. Kenwood had (I think it was discontinued recently) a unit
that was shaft style, and would control a CD changer. If you can still
find one, (Model 3001) they had a reasonable price. If you want a basic
system, or even a single amplifier this is a good choice. If you are a
audio maniac (like myself) I dont think this unit will meet your
requirements.

Other owners have simply cut the plate. I am currently in the situation
of making this decision. I have my speaker box almost complete (details
to follow), all the amplifiers and speakers are in my garage, and the
DIN style head unit is in the mail. The way I look at it, my choices
are:

1. Cut the thing, and destroy a rare original part.
2. Wait until I find someone who has one that is cut already that wants
to go back to stock.
3. Wait until someone makes a aftermarket reproduction at a reasonable
price.
4. Have a reproduction made locally.

The real WAY out option is to hope that someone makes a high quality
shaft style CD controller or MP3 player.

As far as "how" to cut, any decent car stereo installer should be able
to cut it for you.
