1955 Ford Thunderbird Radio with Bluetooth OE Replica

Bundle and save with our 1955 Ford Thunderbird Radio with Bluetooth OE Replica JL Audio Stereo Kit. Our 1955 Ford Thunderbird Radio with Bluetooth OE Replica JL Audio Stereo Kit includes an AAR OE Replica radio with bluetooth, a JL Audio dash speaker, JL Audio 6x9's, a JL Audio amplifier, an amp wiring kit, and 30 feet of speaker wire to connect everything together. Antique Automobile Radio specializes in classic car radios that look nearly identical to the one that came in the vehicle years ago, but with modern technology such as Bluetooth, a digital tuner, RCA pre-outs, and an auxiliary input. JL Audio is one of the most trusted names in car audio and is known for their superior sound quality. With this package, you are getting the best of both worlds with original looks, JL Audio reliability, and JL Audio sound quality.

The AAR radio will fit in your original dash location and the attention to detail and originality is far superior than the other classic car radios on the market. These OE Replica radios come with Bluetooth built in and there is a microphone hidden between the pushbuttons so that you have full hands-free calling functionality without a visible microphone or cord. Although the push buttons and dial look and feel like they are mechanical like the original, the radio features an digital AM/FM tuner and an auxiliary input.

For the JL Audio dual dash mount speaker, we mount two, JL Audio C2 speakers to one of the Custom Autosound direct fit speaker plates so that you get high quality stereo sound from a single speaker location. We use either 3.5" or 4" C2 series speakers, depending on the vehicle and whether or not it has air conditioning. The speaker size is determined by the vehicle and each application. There really is not much different between a 3.5" and a 4" and we use 4" whenever they fit. If the 4" will not work, we must use 3.5's.

The JL Audio C2 6x9's are some of the most efficient 6x9 speakers on the market. They come in a 3-way configuration and can mount both above or below the package tray, depending on your vehicle. If you have a perforated package tray and want to mount the speakers below for a super stealth look, you can with the JL Audio C2's. If not, just drop them in from above and the simple style of the grille looks great in the rear of ever classic car. These speakers really do sound great. They have silk dome tweeters which give rich, warm, well balanced sound.

For the amplifier, we offer two different 4 channel options, a 3 channel option, and two 5 channel amps. The 4 channel amps are for systems that will not have a subwoofer. We offer the RD series and the VXi. The VXi features a built-in DSP that allows you to independently control the level and crossover settings for each speaker, independently via a laptop and a USB cable. If you are a true audiophile and you like the tinker, the VXi is like having a concert sound board in your classic car. If that sounds complicated or overwhelming, just go with the RD. If you want to add a subwoofer, we offer the XD series, 500 watt 3 channel, the RD series 900 watt 5 channel amplifier, and the XD series 700 watt 5 channel. The RD900/5 is an amazing amp and is super easy to tune thanks to the LED clipping indicator built in. The XD series has a smaller footprint, better thermal management, and cleaner power than the RD, but it doesn't have the LED clipping indicators and it provides 300 watts to the subwoofer as opposed to the 500 watts for the RD. Pick your poison.

Now to the subwoofers. Ahh yes, JL Audio subs. JL Audio is probably best known for their subwoofers and we offer three great options if you choose to add one. The 10" W0 has been around forever and is probably regarded as the best entry level subwoofer on the market. The W0's just simply perform and the 10" in the slot ported box will give you the low-end you want for home theater quality sound, but it isn't going to shake the earth and wake up your neighbors. The W0 is somewhat bulky and may take up more room in the trunk than you want. If that is the case, go with the 10 inch TW3. This is one of the few woofers on the market that provides full size output from a thin, low-profile woofer. The TW3 is the thin-mount version of the W3 and basically gives you full size output in a low-profile enclosure. Most low-profile subwoofers on the market sound like low-profile subwoofers as they just don't have the punch (think kick drum) that full size woofers do. Not the TW3. The last enclosure we offer with this package is a 12" TW3. If you like bass or even if you don't hate bass, a 12" can do everything a 10" can, but a 10" can't do everything a 12" can. The 12" can just go lower and we feel just sound better.

We give you everything you need to wire everything up. Speaker wire, RCA's, and an amp wiring kit. Our helpful staff is available to help you with any questions you have with radio, speaker, amp, and subwoofer installation. We offer a two year warranty on the radio, and everything else is warrantied for a minimum of 1 year from JL Audio. If you have any other questions or concerns. give us a call or shoot us an email and we will be happy to help you out.
