Re: Custom Autosound Stereo Review and Question...

I bought the kick panel speakers and two 9" oval speakers with the radio. Since I installed my new radio, ($109 Panasonic) hooked up to the same speakers, there is absolutely no comparison!! The Autosound radio did not perform as well as every other radio I have ever had in any car. Nothing personal, don't be insulted, it's just the way it happened with me.
I bought the Autosound because it was the only radio I could find that fit the dash. If I had it to do over again I would put a radio delete cover in the dash and mount a good radio somewhere else.
I am not offended. I am just trying to learn all I can about these radios before I have to live with mine.
