Back in December, I bought a used 1993 Toyota Corolla to replace my older 1990 Corolla which I had wrecked last spring. So far, it's been a nice used vehicle for me to drive to classes and my part time job.
The previous owner had an inexpensive after market cassette player radio installed. I never tried the cassette deck but have listened to the radio and the tuner itself is not very good at receiving many of the stations in my area. There was also a CD changer in the trunk but I wasn't able to get it to work. Wanting to listen to my CDs, I ended up removing the cassette player and temporarily installed an old Sony CD player car stereo that I normally used as my "room stereo" (connected to some bookshelf speakers and powered by a deep cycle battery) The tuner on the Sony works very well even in my location between some hills where it is hard to receive radio stations but the CD player on this unit would skip on the slightest bump in the road.
I've been looking around for a new radio for my car and maybe some new speakers to replace the factory ones in the front doors (I need to fix the buzz in the front passenger side speaker) While checking out the trunk, I noticed the rear speakers had been replaced with some Pioneer TS-G1340 (similar to these but with the old Pioneer omega/tuning fork logo on them) Wanting to match the brands, I'll likely be installing a Pioneer head unit. I'm thinking of getting the DEH-P4900I after considering the features I wanted and the layout of the controls. Seeing how the rear speakers are 5.25 inches but with room for 6.5 inch speakers, I'll probably move them to the front and get a set of larger ones for the back.
What systems do you guys have ?
