Anyone besides me not care about a sound system in a car?

Rocky, i have an HHR and XM, but it's not the panel version, i mostly listen to outlaw country 12,willies place 13 ,channel 10,50's on 5, the BB king channel 74, and sometimes 44 or 52& 54,, ill have to check out 164!

 

Always the last thing to put into my ride, and nothing really fancy. That money can be spent better elsewhere. On long trips I'm usually singin' at the top of my lungs anyway

 

Engine

 

I meant, engine is always nice but sometimes it's nice to have some tunes to p*** the time by.

 

stereo and CB in the 55 panel, but mostly just enjoy the gl***packs

 

Music is an absolute must on the longer drives.

 

love the sound of a good runnin motor

 

X2 In the '35 coupe a great sound system wouldn't be any count, p***engers (next victims) I can faintly hear at idle most of the time their lips are moving but their sounds aren't audible on top of that I do not read lips, just expressions when we get a little sideways off the line. Never forget the day when I took the bosses son on a short ride up the street and back. I swear his eyes were as big as a Carson City silver dollars. So no radio here, at least in the '35.

Camshaft and twice pipes is music

 

music is a must in those parking lots on summer nights

 

Mine have the AM radios too. Since there is nothing on AM anymore, they are pretty much of no use.I can never hear anything when driving anyway so it doesn't matter.
Never even gave a thought as to putting a radio in the 34 I am building so I probably won't.

 

I like the scratchy A.M. radios

 

Rumpity rumpty rump, rumpity rumpity rump, rump rump rump , rumpity rumpity rump.
How can you ever get tired of that?

 

New stuff yes. Rod's, musclecars, or any other great sounding car shouldnt be masked.

 

Coming from a car audio/recording/live sound background I have to have tunes available. I may not always listen but there has to be something to break up the long road trips. Now, if it's a really killer system, then it's probably going to be cranked up whenever I'm on the open road.
I might change my mind if I had a hot rod with a really nasty mill though

 

32gal and I went 50/50 on a Bose sound deck......have about 20 cd's downloaded. Its a great sound and portable,and compact,so we can switch and back and forth in between the Coupe and the Roadster. If we dont want it showing , it goes in the trunk.

Best of both worlds

 

No, I love the sounds of my truck more than any tunes.

 

No tunes ....except howlin' wolf...

 

Well let me just say it is pretty cool to be crankin' Johnny Cash while driving a 31 Ford! It is not for everyone, but I like the tunes!

 

Ten years ago I drove my ol Dodge home 3ooo mi home. Half way home I couldnt even hear the CB!

 

Last drive across country in my 32 I had my Ipod either in my ears or hooked up to a set of portable speakers, which the batteries lasted for 5-6 hours at a time so I changed them often. Long trips I need my music loud and short trips(under 3 hours) no tunes necessary.

 

Crist I remember where I work have random hearing tests,.. I drove my 65 Dodge A100 van 3ooo mi home AZ to CT. 273 between the seats roaring at 70mph, I get pulled for a hearing test at work the next day. I horrified the woman couldnt hear a thing! I even told her Id rather be deaf than blind

 

People with basic stock radios who need a little variety in their music should look into the Redi-Rad. it's hooked up to the stock AM radio through the antenna and a power lead to the car. Has a receptacle for Ipods or mp3s or portable CD players you can keep hidden until use. I do agree with the sound of a V-8's exhaust note being great music to your ears, however.

 

open headers usually puts a damper on listening to my non existent radio much less thinking or hearing people screaming at me from the sidewalk, or anything really but I like it

 

to me, music is part of the experience.

 

It depends- you don't need tunes if you just take your car out on the weekends or even if you drive long distances, because those are adventures. If the car in question is your daily driver, and all you do is grind the same road, twice a day, five times a week- then tunes are a welcome luxury.

I've been driving my daily with no radio for about four months now, and I can't say I wouldn't use the radio if I had one.

 

No radio.No ipod.no 8-track,c***ette or cd.
Best reason not to attend shows is not having to listen to someones music choice because the "have" to have music.

 

I have to listen to the whole car-never know when something might fall off!

 

like mike ness said, "i've got a flathead, you don't need a stereo when you've got a flathead".
