A couple of years ago I purchased a Sony XR 2590 AM/FM Cassette player. Fits
perfectly, dual knobs, 40 watts and has green background lights to match the
dash lights. Last year I installed a Sony 10 disc cd player behind the seats.
Now I have great sound for radio, tape and cd that I can hear with the top
down.

Hey Gene;
Out of all the things you mentioned, I'm most curious about the radio. The
Kenwood in mine recently gave up the ghost and I've been looking for a unit
of the right dimensions to fit. What make/model do you have?
