Installed easily, but the slides are made of plastic so you must be careful to not over tighten the mounting nuts.

Retro Side Mount Antenna

Crutchfield customer from West Palm Beach, FL on 8/3/2020

I used this antenna on my 1934 Ford kit car and I think it looks correct for the time period even though it is intended for a VW. I have it on a Boss receiver and reception is good.

Pros: Works well and priced right.

Cons: No issues at all.

Retro sound antenna

C-Rad from Sacramneto, Ca on 8/9/2013

I like the concept of this antenna. I just wish it was a little more durable. the antenna itself seems cheap with plastic mounts. I off road my vw bus and I am a little worried about is holding up to bouncing and branches.

Pros: New antenna for an older VW... Comes with cable...

Cons: Cheap plastic construction... Could be made with better quality...

I would recommend Crutchfield and this antenna to anyone . Thanks again.Crutchfield..... Jeff

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
