NOW up to 180 watts RMS!

More power, more features than ever before! These conversions are made to fit inside the original radio, so they look and feel correct when installed in the dash. We use your face, case, and tuner assembly.

The original electronics are replaced with a new high power digital stereo receiver designed to work with the original mechanical tuner and controls. Due to the very small size, made possible by extensive use of surface mount technology, we can convert any analog radio, any year, any model, 6 or 12 volt. All original functions are fully operational, including Wonderbar, Town & Country, or other signal seeking tuners. Crystal controlled tuning eliminates drift. Switching between AM and FM bands is done by turning the radio off and then back on again when the radio did not originally have an AM/FM switch. The balance and fader controls are easily adjusted using a unique option that allows the tone control to be used for multiple functions on radios that did not originally have a balance or fader control. Pushbuttons can be set for AM or FM stations using the same method that was used originally.

All radios are equipped with RCA inputs and the necessary control lines
to plug into a CD player or our XM tuner.

This is a 1955 Ford radio that has been converted to stereo. The appearance as viewed from the passenger compartment remains original, with all controls functioning as designed. Inside, the chassis which contained the tubes and transformers has been removed and replaced with a new, modern digital stereo receiver and 180 watt RMS 4 speaker amplifier. The original antenna connection and all “up front” controls are retained. The original mounting is still in place so it goes back in the car the same way it came out. A tiny LED has been embedded in the dial background that indicates status by changing colors for various conditions. AM is red, FM is green. It also functions as a tuning indicator, changing from dim to bright when a station of sufficient strength is tuned in. The LED also changes from green to yellow when the receiver locks on an FM stereo station. There are 4 BTL amplifiers capable of delivering 45 watts RMS each - that’s 180 watts RMS maximum output power! (14.4 Volts, 4 ohm load, 1 kHz). Radios can be configured for 1, 2, 3, or 4 speakers if powered from a 12 volt system. 1 speaker (mono) systems are recommended where adding a second speaker is not desirable or practical. When the balance control is set all the way to the right channel and the fader control is set to the front, the radio will enter the mono mode. CDs and/or XM radios will also be in mono. If more speakers are added later, stereo operation will automatically be restored when the balance control is adjusted.

Can be programmed for North American or European channel spacing!

Can be configured to use the original (100 ohm) faders if available!

6 VOLT SYSTEMS

6 volt electrical systems cannot provide 180 watts! 6 volt radios can be converted with reduced audio specifications. They should not drive more than two speakers.
