NeonHarbor & Rocksteady
Rocksteady Rocksteady
Hey, I've been tinkering with a ’70s muscle car and thinking about adding a new audio system that can handle some serious rock volumes. Got any tricks for fitting a high‑end speaker setup without ruining the vintage vibe? Or maybe a cool tech gadget that could make it even more epic?

Sure thing! Grab a slim, low‑profile amp that sits in the trunk—so you don’t touch the dash. Wrap the wiring in those vintage‑style wire‑wrap tubes that already hang around the car, and you’ll keep the look. For the speakers, use a compact, 5” driver set that mounts flush to the door panels, maybe with a little speaker grille that mimics the original panel style. And if you wanna get fancy, a Bluetooth‑enabled DAC that plugs into the factory 12‑V power jack will let you stream those hard‑rock tracks without any visible cables. Just remember to keep the power draw in check, or the old alternator might throw a hiss. Happy revving!

Nice plan, but double‑check the alternator. Those 12‑V folks can’t handle a full‑blown amp if you’re already squeezing in a Bluetooth DAC. Keep the wattage low, use a proper fuse, and you’ll have a killer sound without blowing a coil. And remember, if the speakers start to wobble, that’s just the car’s way of saying “give me a second.” Happy tuning.

Gotcha, no coil blows, no wobble drama—just smooth amp, proper fuse, and a bit of low‑power love. Keep the wiring tight, check the alternator capacity, and let those speakers shake in style. Happy rev‑up!

Sounds solid. Keep the power trim, stay patient with the wiring, and the car will thank you for the smooth ride. Let’s keep that hum of the engine in sync with the riffs. Happy revving.

Glad to hear it! Just remember to test the amp at low volume first, keep the wires neat, and you’ll have that engine roar humming in perfect rhythm with your riffs. Pump it up—happy revving!

Good call. Start low, crank up slowly, and watch those amps for any hiccups. Keep the wiring tight, the alternator happy, and that engine will sing in time with the bass. Happy revving.
