I Bought Kick panel's with speakers for my 1972 chevy p/u and they wont fit without modifications. they don't have cutouts for the vent brackets and the (R) passenger side doesn't fit without cutting the narrow side of the panel off.

I received my new car stereo quick from Classic Car Stereos

I received my new car stereo quick from the date I placed the order. Everything was exactly what I ordered. Packaging for shipping was very good. I did the installation myself which went very well and the included instructions are well written. Bluetooth connection to my streaming device was simple. I used the pre-out outputs and connected them to my amplifiers located in the trunk using good quality RCA to RCA connection wire. The performance is very good and sounds great! Once I got used to what each knobs function is, it became easy to adjust the sound. Glad I made this purchase! I will be looking at buying the companion CD player soon.

No where near as good as advertised.

This was supposed to be a drop in installation. Two hours of tech support calls, cutting and filing and the radio fit. Knob and face plates fit, but the face plate took some cutting to get the knob stems to reach through the dash so mounting nuts could be tightened. I bought the powered antenna that sticks to glass as I though this was a nice item. Reception is really poor. Don't know if it's an antenna or radio problem. Purchased the recommended speaker, sound is almost as good as my original 1951 AM factory radio, which is not very good. Over hyped product that is really expensive given what you get and the poor performance. I am not expecting Bose 10 speaker quality but I should get radio reception when I am not far from a station. Given the opportunity to do it again, I would not purchase this product.

I ordered with my credit card to have the stereo sent to my daughters address. My first card declined and the second one went through but was declined by classic stereos because of the different delivery address. I had to call to get the order canceled then reorder and use paypal, then didnt get my $10 welcome discount which was on my original order. P.s. they refunded the $10!

Addendum: After I called and was told that the only way to get my order delivered to my daughters address was to buy with paypal, I did so. This was so my husband wouldnt see his fathers day gift ahead of time. Lo and behold, they had itbdeliveres to my home and my husband was the one who got it from the mail deliverer! So much for the surprise, after all I did to ensure that wouldnt happen.
