hey guys will this radio fit my '89 GTU ?

thanks

 

yea sure why not. try it

 

Judging by the picture you might have to take the restricter plate of the red dragon to get it to fit, but you should try first before you embark in something that crazy.

 

thats the restricter plate ?

yea im try it...just my friend found this radio for me for sale but i read the if its a '88 or lower the harnesses will not be a plug nd play set up

 

Honestly, don't mess with the stock radio. Get an aftermarket unit with CD, new speakers, scrap the factory amplifier setup, and add a powered subwoofer behind the passenger seat and it will blow your mind compared to the old system. Do as above and you will have a home stereo sound in your car. Makes driving the car much more exciting.

 

does stock rx7 even have good sound insulation? ive got all aftermarket stuff but i can imagine how much better it could sound with some sound insulation.

 

I installed several sound dampening items from Second Skin Audio in Arizona and my car is comparable to a luxury car after the install. It helps the audio sound so much better you would think your sitting on you're couch at home and listening to your home stereo unit. It's night and day and was definitely worth the effort and price to get rid of the noise!

Weight is a huge factor to though. Sound dampening material will add alot of weight, especially if you have a subwoofer too. i have a 12inch but i personally dont mind gaining 50-100 for a good stereo because much more enjoyable to drive. bump some Techno or Ramstein and your going to want to drive fast

 

100% agree

 

i wouldnt worry too much on weight, its not an F1 car im never gonna make pole position on the streets lol

 

my goal was to restore the car and have the oem radio but ill consider that ideas tho.

 

thats an s4 radio. it will fit, but the wiring is different. you can make it work if you get the correct plugs/wiring for the back of the radio and splice it in to your existing wiring, but if you're going for a stock look, just wait for an s5 radio to come around.

thats what i was afraid of it being the wrong radio. Yea ill wait til a s5 comes around. by any chance how they look? they just come with a CD player i guess?
