Looking to replace my '88 Brougham's inoperable "Symphony Sound" AM/FM/cassette. What stereos from other Cadillac years and models would interchange with the 1988 Brougham configuration? As always, I thank the forum membership in advance for any thoughts.

I would reccomend going after-market. You would be better off.

What is your budget looking like?

Trying to stay in the $300-$400 range for stereo and new 6"x9"s in the rear. I am hoping to keep the stock appearance in the dash as much as possible. I've toyed w/ the idea of an add-on CD changer w/ FM modulator. Power antenna still works and I like the amber clock in the radio, too.

could buy a double din radio. it would look very nice.
rear 6x9s id reccomend kicker or eclipse.

Forgive my ignorance, yet what are "double din" radios? Thanks for your professional insights and advice.

double din radios are radios that are double the usual aftermarket radio size. aka most aftermarket hus are single din so ones that are twice the size are double din.

What he said....but why do you want rear fills before a front stage? Your sound will be HEAVILY in the rear, your fade will need be at around 13 to the front before it evens out.

dude his is a 88
he only has room for small speaks in the dash i believe 4x6s right?

Still, at least get some 5.25 to put the 4x6 spot so it don't sound like I'm sitting behind you at the light lol.

in the DASH i doubt theres enough room seriously

I've got an 86 deville with that same dope head unit.:) I've been looking to change it too, but still want to keep a sleeper/stock look. I don't think the double din will fit.(could be wrong) I've been looking @ the 1.5 dins out there. From what reviews i've read, they're pretty much straight installs. I'm torn between the pioneer deh p47dh and deh p77dh. There are some cheaper ones out there, pyle makes 1 or 2. Check them out. I bet for 300 bucks, you could replace all 4 speakers and get the head unit along with a wire harness, and sound pretty good. Good luck and shop around before you buy.

You're going to have a lot of trouble if you want to put anything in the stock 4x6 location in the dash, because of the windshield wiper control, you really can't fit a speaker in there with any depth.

What is 'inoperable' about it... does it not work at all, or is it, like mine, not doing the tape thing?

You SHOULD be able to go all the way back to 81 or 82... there are just differences in operation..
As far as going UP... probably into the mid 90s... don't have a good answer for that one.
