Hey peep’s!
I’m wanting to add some tunes to our restored Euro Beetle!
One thing I don’t want to do is cut any holes in the car at all. I’m fine with a speaker box in the luggage tray area only unless y’all got some great ideas??
Love to have a pop-out touch screen for Apple control but let’s see whatcha got!!!

Installed a Bluetooth board in the glove box. Works great but does require 12v.

Krink, do you have a source for both the board and the case?

Probably a bit outdated now in the days of bluetooth and smartphones but this was my setup...
6V amp up front
6" speakers in the footwells and an 8" suitcase sub in the rear
ipod dock in the ashtray
and on/off/volume controls in a switchbox

Very clean DangerMouse! I like that control box a lot. Looks almost factory.

The suitcase sub is a great idea. I’m going to have to come up with something like that
