REGAL New member with 1987 Regal Limited

chiefsb30 · Nov 25, 2024

Hey all, just registered after reading through some of the threads. I have a 1987 Regal Limited, Turbo car. I'm Chris, and I'm out of central Pa. I'm somewhat newer to G bodys, but it isnt my first toy. I've been a Buick guy for I guess about 6 years. I also have a '72 GS Stage 1 convertible. Mostly here in the endeavour to upgrade my car to a factory concert sound system.

You don't say exactly what you're looking for, but I have several GM black face radios with the 5-band equalizer, and the search button. Both matte & gloss faceplates. Some with silver border stripe and others without. $100/ea. I think I have extended range 4x10 rear speakers.
I also have an Audiovox cassette-CD-AM-FM radio that'll fit your opening. I used it for awhile in my '84 Cutlass. This is with Infinity 2-way 3 1/2" front speakers & 6x9 Sony 3-way speakers. Everything for $175.
Let me know,

Thanks for the offer! I actually have all the components, it was more the technical know how and maybe some tips. Drilling the door panels out, etc.

I forgot to mention that looks like a really nice car with the rims & the rare cornering lights.
You mentioned some tips. Do you really want to drill out the door panels? Are you looking for something like the speaker systems in the '77-'84 Park Avenues, the '85-'91 editions, and/or the '79-'85 Rivieras? I had a '86 Electra 380 & I think (heavy on "think") I added the factory door speakers, and I used the Concert II speaker covers which stuck out about 1 1/2" from the panel itself, but they looked good because they were designed to fit the door panel.
Some food for thought.

Pics of audivox? I've got a sanyo fxcd cd and cassette single din and I'm curious what that looks like.

Beautiful regal. I'd do some unsavory things for that.

Welcome from a fellow PA guy, good looking ride. I am not one with knowledge on the stock stuff but you will find plenty will have a lot of knowledge to help you out

Previous owner added the cornering lights, so I'm still figuring those out as well. They're just there haha.

For speakers, I've sourced all the OEM stuff. I replaced the dash speakers with OEM style with the correct impedance. I just went 6x9 with the plastic back shell. I mostly am kind of amazed that GM didnt stamp the door shells with the speaker holes in them and I need to drill those.
