I'm not super sensible, but I bought 1979 Porsche 924 (4-speed, NA for those who care) for pretty cheap. Cosmetically it looks terrible, but mechanically it seems pretty darn good. It's a project for own amusement/edification.
On of the things I want to do is have a super sweet, cassette-based audio system that would be roughly contemporary to the car. I don't care about getting the exact stuff it would have come with in 1979 (because it ain't no museum piece ), but I do want a "nice" setup that one could have had in that sort of period (roughly 1980s).
I know nothing about car audio. Whatever is in there is basically destroyed (along with the interior). The replacement Sony deck/radio does output some sound, but there's only 1 speaker there. It seems like I have to start from scratch.
It'll be a long time before the car is ready for niceties like that, but where I do start in assembling a "cool" 80s sounds system? They only things I really care about "vintage" are stuff that you can see and touch. For things like speakers, and amplification whatever gives best performance for the least price (I'm broke) and can be acquired easily. I believe the car has a 75A 1050W alternator (if that matters). The car doesn't have A/C, power windows or power steering. The only significant "power drain" would be the big motor for hidden headlamps. haha.
Apologies if this is the wrong forum. I'm new at this whole "car repair" thing, so any is advice is good.
