Hi,
I am trying to plan some things out for the spring. One of the things that I want to plan out is the stereos for my 2 J bodies. The 1980 Cordoba has an AM/FM stereo only (no tape player), and the 1981 CMX has an AM/FM Stereo cassette with the rear amplifier (rear amplifier works). The questions for the stereos are:
1. Do they use standard Mopar radio connectors (like all the other Mopars of that era, 2 20 Pin connectors), because I know where to get the Scoshe dash kit that will mate the new in dash radio CD player to the car.
2. Does the rear amplifier just get turned or and off with the rear amplifier have power applied to it, use a remote turn on signal, or just have an audio signal applied to it and it turns itself on and off?
3. What speakers fit in the front dash (the two in the corner sports, 4", 5 1/4". 6 1/2", and how deep are the speaker opernings? Has anybody put speakers into the front doors? I take it that 6X9s will fit in the rear deck below the parcel shelf.
Also, I would like to convert the R12 in the air conditioning systems to R134a. Do I need to change the compressor, other parts, or just a gas change after evacuating the R12 out? The AC on these cars is all stock.
