the deck is sick, dvd, nav, and tv option. under a grand so not to bad. well to high for me, but others might want this.
Cubby holes was for optional equalizer for 87-92 years. In 1993 the EQ was not an option. The cd player replaced the upper tape player completely...cubby remained.

Bought my 91 GT new 20 years ago. Took out the stock radio, amp, spearkers 2 weeks after in 8/91 for an aftermarket setup that i did myself and kept all original radio, amp, speakers and parts. Original wiring is left in place as i even ran my own wiring. I was thinking of going back to stock now... 20 years later and 20 years older... thanks for your pics. My stuff still looks and smells new as i pulled it out of storage and wondinging if it works still.
For those wondering where the stock amp is located and mounted. It is located under the dash just above where stock radio sits. I have a 6 speakers original main radio harness back there with another harness for power and such along with antena wire. These 2 original harnesses plugs into the stock amp, then another wire harness comes out of the amp to the radio with simular plugs. I did not have the EQ option so that may be different. Only used one of the main radio harnesses with newer radio for constant power, Key on power, ground, along with antena. I did not hack factory harness, even though my brother who helped me install this wanted to hack everything. Everything else i could write a book about my system so I will not go into that here.

kinda interesting that in this day of ipod inputs, gps navigation and in dash LCD blue ray t.v. people are tracking down the stock tape deck head units for these cars. I would even guess that the tape deck is more sought after than the cd unit 'cause you can get those adapters and plug an Ipod into them.
I noticed that mine has a couple of lights out in it, there is a guy here in town that is bad ass with old electronics. has one bad eye cant see **** out of the other but can trace and follow a circuit board and find the problem, solder it back together and make it better than new.

With these cars in the range of 25 years...I think we'll start to see more trends towards resto-mods.
Most here probably have a second car with nice new stereos. The stereo in my Mustang is usually off anyway...so I wanted the clean stock OEM look

digging up this thread from the past for a quick question. Will a 1991 tape with the optional eq fit a 1992 without the eq? are all the wires there? mine has a single din aftermarket with the oem cubby under it that i want out yesterday! found the other radio locally and would like to pull the trigger but want some reassurance it will work first. thanks
It will physically bolt in and wire up. The 87-92 cars have the same connections. I beleive 91-92 is also wired the same.
EQ cars have premium sounds, so there will be an amp and two speakers in the doors. You didn't say if your car also had premium sound. Unsure if it will work well without it, but the 87-92 Mustang amp doesn't have line inputs. It uses speaker inputs, so i beleive the wiring is the same.
If not, you could add premium sound. Would take a few more parts though

it has door speakers... i believe that means premium sound? pulled the radio as far as i could without totally getting involved. saw nothing that looks like an amp, no football. although i could only see a half a foot behind it.
if you can see six inches behind it you should see it if it is there it is mounted to the trans hump there are two brackets sticking up. If you see the brackets and nothing bolted to it then it is gone.
I had my original tape deck modified for an mp3 input by a guy on ebay, and I am getting ready to reinstall it in the car. My car has an aftermarket unit installed in it by the original owner, but he gave me the stock set-up when I bought the car. I want to re-install it but it has newer speakers that are 4ohms. Will this setup sound like crap as I understand the stock speakers were 6ohm. How can I make this work?
I've been out of stereos for some time, but on the stock 6-speaker premium stereos, the door and dash speakers are wired in parallel. So that drops two 6 ohm speakers down to 4 ohms I believe.
On the Muatang, the front oem speaker uses a bass blocker which blocks the lows and uses less power, So that is how ford gets away with the parallel wiring.
I purchased used premium speakers on eBay (non-premium use speakers with no blocker) for my dash and then four 4 ohm speakers in my other locations. Been running fine like that.
I made this thread a while ago. Might have some good answers too
