On the subject of speakers, what size fits in the stock dash location of my 65 Belvedere vert? Is it 6x9 or a 5x7. Those retrosound units look good and the price seems right.

There are a couple of sources for speakers with dual voice coils that I 
have found.  This allows a single speaker to be connected to a stereo 
receiver.  I am installing a 6"X9" in the frong and rear of my 63 SF.  
No idea how it sounds yet but I'm expecting it to be usable.

I was not going to cut the doors for speakers and didn't want two 
speakers in the package tray.

Dooner,
   I trust that I can plug my Sirius radio into this somehow??

   The ReadiRad looks cool but if I'm reading right I'm still stuck
with the OE electronics (or lack of), and the OE speaker.  I like your
setup!

Thanks,

I just received an email asking what I meant by rednecking your radio 
(see
below signature). Well, for those who didn't catch it when it was added 
to
the restoration page of the 62 to 65 Mopar website, I will post this.

REDNECK RADIOS: I convert your stock AM shaft style radio to AM/FM/AUX
Input. ($150 or less). It is a lower priced alternative to the big boys 
out
there.($350-$450) 
   You will end up with the AM radio stock look, but with all new
electronics inside. It will have two standard speaker output at about
10-15 watts each (L, R suggested use for two small speakers in dash 
center
stock location), two RCA preamp outputs (L, R suggested use to the rear
speakers with added small wattage amp), amp remote power on, bass boost,
stereo/mono switch, and AUX input for CD player or MP3 player (Ipod). 
   Some modifications have to be made to small cases and to stock radio
knobs. The only thing you loose in this type of conversion, are all the
preset buttons. Three of them become buttons for other uses. 


You can go here anytime to see it. Look in the electrical section.
