It’s kinda like component stereo for the car.  They’re not multiple radios.  One’s a cassette deck, the other an equalizer, a tuner, an amp - certainly overkill, but I loved modular audio component setups when I was young.  You know, back when sonic performance trumped safety in terms of importance.

i remember when I wanted to have a component TV system, where a monitor, television tuner, VCR, video disc player and CED player were all separate parts.  Such systems actually existed.  Now after which, you would connect the audio output to your hi-fi, which I guess became 2.1 home theatre.  Now though, I couldn’t be bothered.

My wonder would be on such a system, how would RA avoid going nutso, just trying to navigate the AM section. 😁

I can just see the peak level meters jamming Patio Lanterns out of that thing now. 

This would have been a real dilemma...

'82 Camaro "T" bar roof or Panasonic overhead cockpit stereo...

First world problems....

(I opted for the T Bar roof - didn't know about the Panasonic)

I don’t know where you’re drawing that opinion.  There were some Alpine and Clarion systems with JBL and Jensen speakers that were sonically excellent, even if you made the comparisons using their cassette sections.
 

Do they have a sunroof version?
