For about $180 I put a 50w Sanyo cassette player in my dash with JBLs
behind the stock panels in the front. It sounds great, and it's as loud
as I would ever want in such a small space. I bought the stuff from
Crutchfield and they supplied a face plate and wiring adapters for the
stock hookups. The face plate did look a little out of place at first
and the knobs stand out a little far from the dash compared to the stock
unit, but I have gotten used to it. So far in over 2 years, no problems
with it.
Unfortunately I had to do some rewiring during installation since the
early Daks have a screwy wiring harness to support a plain AM radio
in addition to the stereo. I don't worry about CDs in the car. There's
too much background noise to worry about the small amount of hiss from
a cassette, and I copy the CDs on my home system for use in the car.
Usually the low noise blank cassettes from Maxell work great for the car.
Just my $.02.
