First Look - In DashTube Car Audio

While i've never seen the "shockwave action version" presentation, someone had posted a link to this unit over on AA a few months back. Given the size of the unit, i have to wonder how many vehicles can actually accomodate such a unit and if they have plans to make it XM or Sirius compatible ??? Sean

My dad used to have tube units in his old cars, but they sure didn't look like that!

Wonder if it is an all tube power amp or a hybrid. I have a
1960 Ford Starliner with an all tube receiver from input to output. Very cool sound particular with the reverb, though I have replaced the speaker once, a few years back.

It looks like it's a Panasonic, so I'm guessing that it's a hybrid and that tube that you see is it. That's not too shabby though...I had a Luxman integrated amp with one tube in it and it did change the sound for the better. How did they manage to ventilate that all tube radio in that old Starliner??

There have been a few car tube amps as well. Milbert.
