Well I still have my AM/FM Cassette deck out of my 93 Dakota. If anyone
wants to buy it from me, make an offer through private email.

Like you guys, I didnt need a thumpin bumpin sound system which I wanted to
break noise barriers with. I just wanted something which sounded better and
was more functional for myself.
I replaced this deck with the 'din-and-a-hlaf' sized Pioneer AM/FM CD
Player. I do enjoy it alot, has more clean sound than the stocker plus I can
play CD through it. I replaced the rear speakers with Pioneer 5x7 3ways
speakers and the door speakers with Pioneer 6.25 2ways. A year later, the
doors were completely shot so I put in a pair of Polk 6.25s and simply love
them. Total I spent $250 on the Pioneer deck, $80 for the rear Pioneer 5x7s,
$80 for the Pioneers which blew out, and a recent $75 for the new Polk's.
Hope this helps, let me know if you are interested in the stock deck.
