Prominent among current contenders is a stereo tape dfcck with multiple speakers. Not your customary eight- track player that repeats the same pre-recorded pro­ grams, but a cassette tape deck that affords unlimited access to commercial and home-recorded hi-fi tapes. The trend to automotive cassette systems has spawn­ edan accessories industry all its own. Car radios and eight-track systems are largely self-contained. The new generation of automo­ tive stereo systems, like home hi-fi systems, employs a variety of accessories. Support items now on the market include power boost­ ers and amplifiers that in­ crease the output of automo­ tive stereo systems. For auto buffs who don't want to mar their cars' inte­ riors. several manufacturers offer low-profile, add-on speakers that can be adhe- sive-mounted wherever the owner wishes. It isn' t uncommon for a hobby car to boast four or more speakers. Popular spots to mount them include the car 's rear windows. Foiling equipment thieves Theft continues to be a problem, especially as the sophistication and value of automotive hi-fi systems in­ crease. Some owners secure their cassette tape decks to the dashboard with locking mounts. Others use new slide mounts that enable them to remove the units from their cars. It isn't unusual to see an automotive hi-fi fan strolling from his car with a tape-deck tote bag under his arm. Many owners prize their cassette collections as highly as their tape decks. The seri­ ous auto/audiophile will often tape his cassettes on an expensive, multi-switch high fidelity system. Some have found that when the recording is made on a Scotch "Master" III cassette taped in the ferri- chrome switch position and then played back on the car stereo system's standard bias, the resulting sound will beat anything on the road. O n e s o u n d e n g i n e e r pointed out that the auto's physical characteristics (a b a s e r e f l e x c o n t a i n e r ) , matched with the super high f i d e l i t y s e n s i t i v i t y o f t h e ferrichrome tape, develop this excellent sound. To protect these valuable cassettes from being mishan­ dled, 3M Company provides a "C-Box Car Saddle." This pop-open cassette storage unit has been especially adapted for automobiles. It rests on the transmission hump between the front seats and can be easily removed when the car is locked up. The storage unit l ifts from the saddleAproviding a readily portable carrying case. The unit also protects valuable hi-fi tapes from a s h e s , d u s t a n d o t h e r contaminants that frequently float about a car 's interior. According to on# automo­ tive equipment supplier, cas­ sette stereo for cars consti­ tutes a multi-million-dollar- a-year industry that is grow­ ing rapidly. NO FUMBLING FOR CASSETTES on seats or glove compartment while driving due to a new auto sound aeeessorv from 3M Company. It's a cassette storage system that sits on the Hump between front seats and pops the cassettes into the driver's hand. Give your own great disco party at home!
