Subject: Re: [FWDLK] FLook AM to AM/FM
radio conversion. Who's done it?
James - I don't think there is a an actual switch on our
radios to convert to FM. You might be thinking of a FM converter.
I recently installed one on my car. Its a small box - 4" x 5" x 2"
thick. I mounted it under dash just to right of steering column.
It conects to your AM radio. This box is what has the AM/FM
switch. Your AM radio has to be set on a certain frequency in order for
the FM converter to work. A friend of mine had 2 of these stored in his
garage and gave me one so I don't know if they are still available on the
market.
I personally don't like anything attached to the
bottom of my dash but the alternative is to take out the AM radio and send it
to a company (don't remember name offhand) and have them convert original
radio to AM/FM still retaining your original radio. Costs about $300 I
think. Lets see now, $300 for radio conversion, $568 for 4 new tires,
$300 for a few patch panels, $$$$$? new paint, hey, but its worth
it. John Z in Mosinee, WI
I understand that our original AM radios can be converted
to receive AM and FM. Has anyone done this? Does it work well? Where is the
switch located that switches one to the other?
Also, does anyone understand the relationship between the
ohms rating of the speaker and the radio?? I know that any general speaker
will work, but I thought I read somewhere that there is a relationship
between the two and to keep that in mind when doing anything with a speaker.
I am debating between having the original speaker redone or just going out a
getting a new 5X7 speaker.
Thoughts?
