Is that supertuner 3 an FM modulated 6 pack ? (Runs through your FM radio) I'm thinkin' you might have better luck replacing the head unit (deck).Are you sure the deck you have is not 1992 rather than 1982 , detatch faces and digital tuners are a little newer technology than that. I might be able to see it being a pull out deck of that age. Please don't take my questions the wrong way , I just want to help and we are all here to learn.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-Mar-01 AT 07:51 PM (EST)[/font][p]ah it must be newer then, because i don't have an inkling what the truck had stock, i know the motor and tranny specs, but other than that, nope nodda, the radio is ok, but i was just wondering if anyone had the info i needed...because there isn't a wattage rating on the cerwin vega's in the doors, *faded away* all you can see is they are vega's.
and i wanted a radio that would push the same amount of power to them
as always help is appreciated

I wouldn't worry too much about your vega's as long as try to get your THD (total harmonic distortion) as low as possible from the source (deck ,amp). Distortion will blow speakers long before clean sound . Also deck power tends to be awfully over rated .Even alpines 40 watts per channel decks only actually push about 18 watts per channel.

Alright, i messed with the balance on it and noticed that when i put my sound all the way to the right, the left speaker still plays, which means i'm gonna have to go buy some more speaker wire, and rewire the entire stereo, *speakers* so that they do play on separate channels... what fun eh?
