Any truth about the speakers originally being mounted in the back of the rear seat pointing towards the front of the car? If yes, you would think that the sound would be muffled by the seat itself, but a little more sound is better than just the original dash speaker right?
I've never heard that one. No, that would not be correct, nor would it much matter for sound. Those old radios don't put out much power, that's why so many of them have been tossed over the years.
I'm satisfied with the volume when I drive with the top down. It's not like a new car, but think of it as nostalgia...
It's all part of the 'old car' experience.
You can always hide a different radio in the glove box, or have your radio upgraded with new internals and power plant for higher volume.
Your car looks just like one 'THE BIRD' used to own. He live(d?) in Roseville, CA.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
