After 2 months with my S1 I am finally fed up with its radio. Its a great system and probably cost the PO a pretty penny 15 years ago. Alpine head routed to an Alpine equalizer to an Alpine Amp and on to a special crossover netowrk and a set of 6 inch speaker in the doors and a set of tweeters.

Besides haveing no bass to speak of, the damn thing get exactly one station in my driveway (New York) while my daily driver gets hundreds.

And the question....how do I get to the radio? There dosen't seem to be an obvious way to get to it and remove it.

Any hints out there?????

PS Yes the sound of the engine if preferable when tooling around but on some long hauls (and I plan many) I need something else.

if this is a newer style radio (Din size with a removable faceplate) then there will be a release mech on the deck itself. If you want I can walk you through removing it. Just let me know the model number of the radio and I will look it up. The little crossover boxes are for your front speakers (Tweeters and door speakers). If this is 15 years old I would be really interested in knowing the model numbers as I'm an old Alpine buff from years ago.
