I want to find some one that is capable of getting rid of the bass roll off
of my factory radio brain. I do not care how it is done. Maybe remove the
factory amp and replace it with a decent aftermarket or just disable the bass
roll off. I just want to keep the treble and bass controls.

Anybody here willing to take on the project? I do have the delco prints for
the radio.

Back in 1977 I used a Pioneer tuner and built my own amplifiers...
bridged, to up the available power... for my Nissan 280Z. I still
have the drawings. If there's interest I'll post them.


Up to available power meaning until the ignition coughed? I am just
picturing you driving down some boulevard, in your 280Z, windows rolled
down, stereo on 10. Tchk .. tchk .. *BOOM* .. tchk .. tchk .. *BOOM* ...

But that song didn't come out until the 1980's:

You can probably easily break into the radio prior to the power amps
and basically get a line out function.


Or just use the regular speaker outputs, spiff them up in frequency
response to your liking,

Just running the speaker outputs into a 1k load instead of driving
actual 8 ohm speakers will likely give you a flat response to below 20
Hz.

then drive one of those monster amps. Like the
ones the kids use in their lowered Hondas with the mag wheels.
