I want to keep the original AM radio (wired to the in-dash speaker), but add new speakers for a Bluetooth application. Has anyone tried adding a Bluetooth amp to your classic? And if so, what equipment have you used?

There is Secret Audio by Custom Autosound. It is essentially a second radio for the car. It can be mounted under a seat, in the trunk, in the glove box. etc. It will have Bluetooth capabilities and has a hand held remote that you can use to control it.

 

There use to be someone who had either a Bluetooth or USB player. I need to find the ad though.

I had to go back to a 2015 issue of Smoke Signals tomfind an ad for a company called RediRad. This device is hidden under the dash and plugs into your radio’s antenna.

Thanks.

I put one of the Custom Auto Sound radios in a 69 Camaro project a few years back. It quit working within a day. They sent me another one, and it had a problem with the volume control. The third one finally worked as advertised. I will look at the Secret Audio, but I’m a little shy on that company.

I haven’t heard of RediRad. I’ll check it out.

I am looking at a Bluetooth amp setup from Memphis Audio. It looks like it will serve the need, however, I don’t have any knowledge about that company. Looking for reviews on-line.

I haven’t heard of Memphis Audio so I have no experience with them. Sorry.
