Jordan, the product whitestripe is enquiring about is the custom fit in dash unit that is capable of running a 6 pack changer.This unit is a two dial am/fm tuner and some are tape decks as well that put out far better quality sound and power with the option to tuck a hidden cd changer without comprimising the originality of your classic car.This is for people who want a somewhat original look to there car but without the price of "butchering" the dash.I'd say if you can shell out the $ for a system like that to go for it, once your dash is cut, you may kick yourself for it down the road plus to get a newer deck to fit in the original space requires some decent custom work due to the angular design of our dashes to make the appearance clean.My friend had a 72 monte carlo and he opted to not cut his dash and to find a proper fitting unit for it and his stereo sounded great with amps and upgraded speakers. I like the bass and powerful clean sound and opted to cut my dash, which i now regret as i could have done the same thing with a deck like you are asking about.Forget the removeable face decks if you want more power as well,the custom unit can work well with amps tied into the custom fit deck. As for faceless decks, i had one ripped off my convert' just for the head unit or they were plan idiots so they aren't theft proof.Do what you feel you need to do.You have a few options with a convertible.I believe jordan is talking about newer decks/generic decks for most of todays vehicles.My two cents Whitestripe and Jordan,check out the links here: http://www.custom-autosound.com/prodFam.php?CatID=2
