Walmart stereo system for $70

Recommended Posts

This would be for Cleetus, who doesn't have any stereo system in him right now. The fact that it's a Sony doesn't mean much, as it doesn't get more bottom-basement in price than this; I wouldn't expect anything but basic sound quality and hopefully halfway decent radio reception.

Anyone install this kit on their car? Know anything about the headunit?

 

My only problem with this is that I'd have to cut into the metal dash, as it still is set up for an old-school dual post AM-FM radio...

My buddy bought this package for his truck. Sounded alright at first. Nothing special -- but nothing bad. The headunit works as expected -- once again -- nothing special. I think the speakers have started to sound kind of crackly but I doubt you will listen to your music that loud.

I have no radio currently. The only other dual shaft-style deck I've found is the Dual XC4100. I don't want to cut the dash either, but the only shaft radios available now are high-end, "restoration" decks that are hundreds of dollars. I really only need an FM radio for NPR; don't really care about CD/aux input/subwoofers etc...

Can't beat the price with 4 speakers and a head unit. For NPR, that is all you need. That set up will do ok with music too. It will sound ok until you hear something better. I drove around with 2 5.5" speakers in my truck for 3 years, sounded fine to me.

Looks like a good deal for just getting some tunes in your truck.

 

Go for it.

Hit up ebay. I got a pretty nice pioneer brand new for $77 with free shipping. Plays fantastic and have not had any problems. Also has a port on the front so you can hookup an mp3 player.

 

$70 now and still free shipping

He's looking at a head unit with 4 speakers to list to talk radio for $70.

 

Clay, I don't know anything about those specific pieces, but doesn't sound like you can beat it for the money. Just realize that you are buying cheap stuff and it may last you forever or it may break very soon. If that's a gamble you want to take, then go for it.

You know Clay.... I think I have a nicer set of JBL 4" from a LONG time ago. If you get a headunit on the CHEAP... you can have them.

 

You have to pick them up though. ;)

PM'd. Thanks for the offer!

 

Jason, you find that stereo yet? Get your gimpy a$$ out in the garage to find it! :) I might piece together a free CR 2-speaker stereo system here! :lol:
