Classic Car Audio Source Options

If you own a classic car, there is no reason you can’t have a great-sounding audio system. Sweet Sounds has been taking beautiful vehicles from years past and giving them modern audio systems for more than 20 years. In this article, we cover our four most popular options for adding a new stereo, or “source unit,” to your classic car.

Factory-Looking Radios

Custom Autosound makes factory-looking radios for many popular classic vehicles. You can now remove your original radio from the dash and get a replacement unit with many options. These include AM/FM tuner, single-disc player or CD changer, auxiliary input, and Bluetooth for music streaming and hands-free calling. The end result will be a new radio with an OEM look and feel to it.

Keeping It Hidden

Our Secret Audio System is perfect for someone who wants a full-featured radio but wants to keep the OEM radio in the dash for originality. It comes with either a wired or wireless controller and gives you the same options as the Custom Autosound radios.

Modern Style

For many people, getting into that classic car or truck means losing all the great technology they enjoy in their daily drivers, such as a navigation system, touchscreen display, satellite radio and more. Sweet Sounds can install one of our cutting-edge technology radios in your classic vehicle. Whether you want it in the original location in the dash, hidden in your glovebox, or placed in a completely custom center console or under dash mount, we can make it happen. Our install team is well versed in metal, fiberglass, vinyl, texturing and paint finishes. If you can dream it, we can turn it into reality.

Your Phone Is King

If you are the kind of person who uses your smartphone as the source of all your music, we can help there as well. We can add a 3.5 mm aux input or a Bluetooth streaming module to your vehicle to work with an amplifier, giving you a completely modern, hidden way to access all your favorite music.

Even More Classic Car Audio Options

All of these systems work best with aftermarket amplification to get you the “sweet sounds.” Of course, we have a great selection of speakers and subwoofers to retrofit your classic car and take it to the next level.
