Product Description
The 1969 Pontiac Firebird, including the first Trans Am, is one of the most admired designs of the muscle car era. Its dash deserves a radio that looks right, and modern drivers want Bluetooth and USB. The KHE-300 for the 1969 Firebird from Ken Harrison is made to deliver both.
Made for the 1969 Firebird
This version of the KHE-300 is designed for the 1969 Firebird dash, so it is intended to fit the factory location without cutting. That keeps the dash original and makes it easy to reinstall the factory radio later if you ever want to.
Features
According to the KHE series owner's manual, the KHE-300 includes:
- Bluetooth wireless audio streaming
- Front USB input for MP3 files
- Front mini SD card reader
- PLL synthesized AM/FM tuner with automatic mono/stereo
- 6 AM and 6 FM presets, with preset scan and auto store
- Manual up/down tuning, seek and auto scan
- Separate bass and treble controls and a front/rear fader
- LCD display with clock
- Auto antenna power lead, RCA pre-outs and rear auxiliary input
- 50 watts x 4 channels (200 watts of system power)
The blue LCD gives a crisp, readable display, and the PLL tuner holds stations much more steadily than an original radio.
Options for a Complete System
This listing lets you add several components in the same order:
- Front dual voice coil speaker, which plays both stereo channels through a single dash speaker
- Rear 6x9 speaker pair, either Custom Autosound or upgraded Pioneer
- Kick panels with speakers, without speakers, or with a Pioneer upgrade
- Hideaway antenna
Kick panels are a popular way to add front speakers in first-generation F-bodies without cutting the doors, and rear 6x9s on the package tray fill out the sound.
Why Choose the KHE-300
A 1969 Firebird is a car people drive hard and enjoy loudly. With 50 watts per channel, the KHE-300 has enough power for four speakers, and the RCA pre-outs let you add an amplifier if you want more. Bluetooth means you can stream your own music, and the USB and SD slots let you carry a large library without a phone. All of that comes in a classic car radio that keeps the dash looking period-appropriate.
Before You Install
Inspect the wiring behind the dash, confirm the car is 12-volt negative ground and use a fused power source with a good ground. Ken Harrison's manual recommends installation by an auto radio specialist if you are not comfortable with automotive wiring. Vintage Car Radio sells the radio and accessories but does not offer installation.
