I have a factory reverb unit from a 67 Bonneville. Does anyone know how to wire this in to a modern stereo?

I dont know, but I was just wondering what Reverb is? I have always seen the knobs for old radios say reverb on them but no idea what it does. Would just like to upgrade my knowledge
  GR-RRR!

The reverb (or reverberation system) was basically a device that delayed the sound coming from the rear speaker approximately one-tenth of a second behind the sound coming from the front speaker, giving an echo effect. I think possibly today they are called echo chambers.
It was also called a "poor man's stereo". Jon. Good carburetion is fuelish hot air.

Reverb was suppose to make the music sound like you were listening to it in a concert hall. It adds a sort of "echo." Basically, it sends the signal, then sends the same signal again after a slight delay. The more you turn the knob-the more the echo. I was never a fan of reverb. At the time, it was a "high end" option.

Reverb is short for reverberation. It makes the sound of the radio take on an echoing effect by passing the sound through a spring that is enclosed in a metal housing similar to the radio chassis itself. The spring is flexible like a slinky and when it moves, the sound "reverberates". Those of us who grew up in the sixties most probably heard it at one time or another as it was popular in those days. Usually found in the higher end Buicks, Olds, Pontiacs. Also, some of the guitar amps had that option as well.

Ahh, ok now I got it.
There are newer car stereos with built in sound settings that imitate concert halls and churches and other things to give that similar effect, If thats what you are looking for. GR-RRR!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
