I'm looking to make or buy some wireless (bluetooth) speakers that can simply sit in my back seat. Something like what "Dottie1968Bug" did in this thread.

Is anyone aware of a product like this I can buy?

Max

I was thinking Pedro had made something similar for his Notch and his T-34. I believe Jason is planning something along the same lines too. As for buying something like that, try Karmann Ghia Parts and Restorations or AirHead Parts (same company). Maybe someone else will come along with a suggestion.
As a former square owner I know I don't want something rolling around behind the rear seat. I used to a have a funky "fake Kicker box" in the back (with long leads to it so I could move it to the roof if I was sitting still and hanging out), but I was always worried it would launch on a hard stop, or a hard turn.

If I can't find something pillow-like for the rear seat I might hang some sort of poolside speakers from the back of my front seats.

not bluetooth but .......
i tried vintage drive in speakers with a 4" in them for fillers.
the pillow speaker was sono tube with plywood ends and 6" speakers
just make sure you have some way to attach to the seat, so they don't fly around on corners. i had enough wire to drop them on the floor when you need to drop the seat.

They look great. How do they sound?
