Anyone want to share what was the killer system back in the day?

When I bought my first 69 Camaro over 20 years ago, it had a Craig stereo system in it. Still have the rear Craig speakers.

Muntz system...
you got the tape player with auto reverse..cutting edge I might add..a little amp I think it was 60 watts x 2 ??? cant recall but it worked the system just right...speakers were 2-6" round & 2-6X9's for the back rocked pretty good for early 70's stuff

In my 63.5 Galaxie 500 I had a Jensen R-430 head unit/amp combo. It was the top of the line stuff from them in the early 80's. Jensen coax 6x9's, and 4.5 surface mount laying near drivers heels. It absolutely pounded Pink Floyd Animals and Scorpions Lovedrive, UFO Strangers...... I mean the rear view mirror would shake so much everything looked like smeared vertical lines. It was the start of a very long love affair with audio I still have today.

still have a Craig floor mount am/fm 8 track player that will be going into my 68 some-year. Also have a top of the line Sears am/fm track player still in the box that I picked up 3 years ago at a garage sale for $25.

I personally have always enjoyed the quiet, soothing sounds of a factory radio delete plate. But then again, every time I hear a Judas Priest song, I can't help but think about my best buddy's '70 LS6 Chevelle in high school with a Pioneer Super Tuner sliding around the passenger floor board so as not to cut the stock dash. Most certainly the best of times and you never realize it while it's happening.
