Depends what you mean...the wiring is 30 years old and so are the speakers. The speakers themselves have an odd impedence rating for some reason so that can cause issues with new head units. The best option is to get a new head unit, run brand new wires to brand new speakers. Eliminate the fader switch too, that pretty much takes care of the variables. I found it better to replace my entire back deck too since it was so sun damaged, dusty, and possibly moldy. New one I custom made with 6x9" speaker holes, sounds wonderful and looks good too. Obviously each of these steps compromises "originality" for functionality so really that is your choice. I'd say the biggest cause of issues is the fader and speaker wiring getting old.
