Speakers are another issue and ones behind the seats are least invasive but depth is an issue. What kinds of speakers have been used successfully?

With smaller audio systems that can be hidden (I am not thinking about an in-dash setup) is an amp needed? Are there suitable small amps?

Last, radio is useful at times so that is another factor.

Has anyone used these? Goes under seat and in glove box: Secret Audio SST iPod/USB/MP3 Classic/Collector/Muscle Car Stereo AM FM Radio | eBay

I had a secret audio in my other vintage car (1967 Volvo 123 GT see my photos) while the quality and reliability was excellent the 10 disk cd player was afected by the road bumps (trunk installed)

With the ipods and smart phones we don't need cd players anymore. The quality of the sound needed improvement and a decent amp would have made it better.

I installed in my Cobra a decent Stereo AM-FM-sigle cd player with ipod interphase (Alpine) took it to Best Buy they did an outstanding job installing the unit,)(lifetime warranty), a West Coast Cobra (unlike other models) has more room to play with space 4' wider and 6" longer body. for us full size boys.
These are my two cents in this matter. Don't approve of earphones, it is a guaranteed ticket
