I bought one of those $550 repro radios for my '53 3100. It looks great & works ok but the sound gets distorted when I turn it up loud enough to hear when I'm driving on the highway. An audio guy that looked at it said that the speakers were fine but needed a box behind them to concentrate the sound. Has anyone had a similar experience & if so, how did you fix it? Thanks

I would say that either the radio is defective or the speakers are not up to the job. the lack of an enclosure will not cause distortion. I would call the people that sell or make the product and tell them the problem. They talk about 180 watts of power which actually should have a distortion figure associated with that. However, that is a lot of driving power.
