Pick what up? It is just a four way amp with equaliser. Good news is it has got an output for a sub & amp too . Just got to find an old school bridgeable amp to go with it.

Oh sorry didn't look well enough, took it was a radio only H/U

Head unit is sorted. This is an add on

Bit of retro audio. BNIB rare Vauxhall dealer supplied Blaupunkt CD player etc...


Cost over £700 plus vat for the CD setup alone in the early 90's!!!! I paid no where near that amount

CD setup comprises a CD head unit with seperate tuner unit & amplifier...


Also got a BNIB radio cassette in with the deal...

Wired up the head unit & amp etc. All works perfectly and sounds excellent for a 90's unit...


And also bought a new genuine Nova loom to help install it all in the Nova Spider...

I know what amp I need, just got to wait for one to come up. The thing is they use DIN plugs for the connection rather than RCA leads so I am limited to late 80's or early 90's kit. Unless I can get a DIN to RCA conversion lead.

Alternatively you could get the soldering iron out and knock one up yourself. But seeing as you go through great lengths finding OEM 80's/90's stuff, I can't see you incorporating a DIY lead. Well impressed by your finds btw!

Loving the HU Rich, that will look ace, never seen one before either.

I first saw one in a Vauxhall accessories brochure then I found this complete setup by chance on ebay.
They were a very pricey dealer fit option for the whole model range. Nice to have a period unit but still be able to use a CD rather than an old tape!

I have thought of a few different options. I have found a new DIN to RCA adapter lead I could use then fit some underseat subwoofers.
