[DML] New stereo and speakers - Perfect match!

["Stian Birkeland" <dmc_norway@xxxx>]

Hello all!

I'm considering replacing the original Craig radio and speakers with 
something more exotic. I've been to all the websites: Sony, Philips, Alpine, 
Panasonic etc. But I never really found anything I liked. Im not looking for 
a MD or CD changer...What I'm looking for is a simple nice unit (CD and 
radio player) that matches the interior of the car, that is, the centre 
console colors: Black of course, but also the little "spirit" of the AC 
decal colors, namely red, blue, white, yellow.

With all these colors in mind, I set out on an impossible task. I figured 
that if I ever found such a unit, it would be over-styled and have a 
messy-looking extremely futuristic appearance. I never thought I would find 
anything that looked clean and straight.

Well, you know what? I found just the right unit (in my eyes) that would fit 
the DeLorean with a 100% match. A personal opinion of course, but check it 
out and tell me what you think. :)

The unit I finally found sure has style if you ask me. Again, I didn't want 
a spacy funky unit, but a more classic one.

(So basically I wanted a "Roswell-unit" instead of an "Independence 
Day-unit" if you know what I mean *L*)

The unit I found is: KENWOOD KDC-3080RA

It can only be found only on the british Kenwood site (I guess they make 
different units depending on where in the world you live).

The address is: www.kenwood-electronics.co.uk

Also, I was able to find exact matches for the front and rear speakers. The 
front speakers are 3.5" and the rear speakers 4"x10".

The front speakers are KENWOOD KFC-835C, and the rear are KFC-415C.
There are also some nice looking tweeters which I think can be easily 
installed on the dash right next to the A-pillars without making any 
modification to the DeLorean itself.

The speakers were found on the american Kenwood site at www.kenwoodusa.com

Now, does any list members got any experience with this unit? I'd love to 
hear your opinions on it. Perhaps one of the DOC UK members have a chance to 
check it out in real-life? What is the price etc? If the unit is "British 
Market Only", then I hope one of the DOC UK member can be of help :)

Over here in Norway, Kenwood is namely known for home applications, esp. 
kitchen devices, but I'm willing to take the chance *L* After all, the 
DeLorean is hand-made. A+ !!!

Best wishes always
