Hello-

My brother test drove a new convertable Porsche a few weeks ago. When he asked about the sound system, the salesman smiled, looked up at the sky, and said, "in a convertable, the world is your sound system!"

Sorry about my car being dusty inside but here are a couple pictures of my speakers. I wanted to make everything as hidden as possible. My stereo is in the glove box.

I used the old heater holes and installed 6 1/2" speakers. They ended out working out well.

I have 4 way 6x9 under the back par. try.

Nice combination for the rear.
The hardest part though is to integrate serious speakers in the front, and also run a parcel tray .
I really like the solution that DUBDAWG has fabricated.
There must be more of those speaker trays out there by now

Just to revive this thread I have made these in the Coronavirus lockdown here in the U.K. My interior will be retrimmed with new cloth. These Videos are just testing. All wiring will be secured properly. The radio I’m using is a converted Blaupunkt Bremen still running 6volts. I haven’t done any adjustments on the radio yet this is straight out of the box. There is no external amplifier, the phone mic doesn’t do them justice. I’m streaming the music from my I-pad. The upholstery of the pillows was done by my Mum.

I did a hidden stereo. Pretty slick so far functionally. Sort of an experiment that I'm still trying to fine tune. But it's fairly well hidden, sounds honestly better than you'd think, cheap and simple.
The 'stereo' thing is a little *bluetooth receiver/amplifier* ; whatever that is. It's the size of a deck of cards. Runs on 12V (so I have a transformer off my 6V) and it's 100W. It was about $12 I think, speakers are cheap marine speakers about $20, and the transformer was $10.

Repro block off plate has a pair of small speakers behind it- that I scavenged from a bluetooth speaker.- so it became a speaker grill too. A larger bass speaker in the grill and the tiny3.5" boat speakers in the rear.
The amp /receiver thing is nice, works GREAT and has on/off volume. Which is all I wanted.
It's a work in progress....
