What a mess.

Sort of like accidentally catching your parents having sex...can never un-see it

I guess the radio must be wired straight to the speakers or an after market amp.

Looks like an ex police car.

Good lord that is truly awful !

If it’s fitted in a five hundred quid old v70 it probably makes sense if the original is broke? Sometimes beauty isn’t the aim. Had an old Land Rover with house wood speakers fitted and a radio screwed to the dash. It worked and was free. The value of the vehicle it’s fitted to is the usual factor in bodgestry. If it works....

How can you even tell what temp' you've set the heaters at?
I keep waiting for my radio to fail. Not looking forward to that repair bill
