I didn't know a post style CD player existed, I don't think there is enough room for a CD to fit in the existing hole in the dash. I went a different route, I purchased a Sony DIN style (chassis mount) CD player from Best Buy and did the custom instillation myself. This does require cutting of the dash (so much for original), I went for better sound and a functional radio. If any one wants the old original Craig radio they can have it for shipping, it all works accept the ribbon cable broke to the display from the tape door opening up so much. I bought speakers from Best Buy too, the rear is a 4"X10" odd ball speaker but they had two brands in stock, the Pioneer sound better. They are kind of spendy, $89 a pair, almost as much as the CD player $149. The front speakers I had to hunt for, three and a half inch are popular but you have to find a set that does not have tweeters protruding above the mounting points. The old style flush mounted under the dash so I went with a one way Alpine and they fit nicely in the stock locations, stock wiring plugged right up. The rear mounted the same but the magnets were a little smaller and I had to tighten the hose clamp a little tighter. (you'll see when you have it apart) I cut the dash with a pencil grinder an a tiny cutoff wheel, you will have to cut to the bottom of the metal flange above the heater controls to make it fit, the plastic bezel for the radio will hit the vents otherwise. The large hole I cut in the dash makes it much easier to hook up the rubber vent boots upon reassembly. The four speakers sound fine but I gotta have low end so my plans over Christmas are to add a subwoofer to the locking cubby behind the drivers seat, I have seen kits for this but I will make my own. I wrote kind of spratic so if I left something out you wanted to know just tell me, I can also send pics of my installation if you want, but it I will not be able to until next year. Happy install. Sorry to those who strive to keep their cars original, I just can't handle a tape deck. -----Original Message----- From: saintern <saintern@xxxx> To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wednesday, December 22, 1999 5:03 PM Subject: [DML] cd player? Does anyone remember the specific model number on that post-style CD player that fit the Delorean console or does anyone have any other suggestions on a good model that looks good in the D. My car realy needs an audio upgrade. My radio works absoulutly perfect but the speakers are shot, especially the rear ones....they sound like they died a terrible death some time in the 80's. I heard someone on the list mention just discontecting those and putting new speakers in other areas. Anyone done this? -Don kazmark 3541 www.geocities.com/dkazmark pics of the NEW delorean!...just kidding its not real but check it out anyway ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Before posting messages or replies, see the posting policy rules at: www.dmcnews.com/Admin/rules.html To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderator@xxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications
