[urq] RE: Mid 80's, period correct radios: which one ?

[Thatcher Hubbard]

The BA speakers sound great considering that they don't have a
separate tweeter mounted in them or a kevlar-aramid cone or any of
that other newfangled stuff.  A friend of mine has a small 8" Polk
Audio subwoofer in his trunk and a 250W amp mounted on the box.  I'm
the furthest thing from the guys you see at stop lights with their
license plates buzzing because of the bass, but a setup like that
doesn't consume a lot of space and really improves the quality of the
sound.

I do find myself turning the stereo off in the Urq (at least when it's
actually running) a lot so I can hear the engine though, which I don't
do in other cars.
