No pleasant surprises here

Eh! Service is very average. No surprises like quick and efficient service. I still don't have my new radio after 2 weeks.
I imagine it will show up sooner or later after a minimum number of inquiries..

A little early to have an opinion.

Web site was good to navigate but when checking out the PayPal option would not work. There was two options to use neither would work.... I was asked my opinion before I even checked out of the website after I placed my order. We'll see once the transaction is completed.

I wanted a stereo that would keep the original look but have todays capabilities. Classic car stereos has the perfect radio and I learned a whole lot about stereos, amps and speakers. I bought a big package deal and can hardly wait to get it installed and working. I compared getting a package deal or buy speakers, amp and woofer elsewhere, but the cost was better by buying a package and I feel they have matched up a GREAT sounding deal. I would recommend them to anybody looking to upgrade their classic radio and keeping the original looks.

Won't accept Canadian credit cards

Only frustration is that they do not make it clear they won't accept credit cards outside USA. I ordered from Canada. Had to set up a Paypal account for this. Kind of a pain. Messaging on website could have specifically pointed this out when I entered my address. Then wasted time on phone order call ending up with the same issue. Waste of time.

I recently purchased a USA-630 classic car stereo for my 1970 Camaro. The stereo arrived fairly expeditiously. The look is similar to original. I had to file the opening a little to get it to fit (nothing major).
The sound quality is far less than I had expected after reading other reviews. Mid range is horrible and bass isn't much better. I have the stereo hooked up to a nice set if Rockford Fosgate speakers so I know the speakers aren't the result of of the sound quality. The stereo looks AND sounds like a 1970's am/fm receiver. The main difference is you can turn it up louder without crackling the speakers.
