    Does anyone have any good ways to hide your aftermarket car stereos? This is my next project for the sedan. I am sure that there are some good ideas out there....What has everyone else done?

    I have a Secret Audio with 10 disk changer in my sedan. My sedan is still 6v positive so I used an inverter to get up to 12v negative. The inverter I mounted in the trunk on top of the wheel well next to the gas fill box. I mounted it on it's side due to the size. The trunk is finished and has panels that hide the wheel wells. The stereo tuner head and changer are mounted on the passanger side again in the wheel well area of the rear fender. I have to remove the side panel to access the changer but no big problem. With the finished panels on the sides you would never know it is there. Two small speakers are mounted in the rear deck, two larger speakers for bass reinforcement are mounted under the front seat, and two mid size speakers are mounted under the front dash. I mounted the control head in the glove box. The remote is wireless RF so no problem with using the remote. the unit sounds great, but you can not crank it to loud or the inverter struggles to keep up.

    Sitting besides my 36 'Plane, in the garage, is my '49 Ford ragtop. I have put a "killer" sound system (radio, CD) with the receiver hidden away in the glovebox. Speakers in the door panels, two more behind the rear seat, and a monster woofer in the trunk make a virtual sound system for a parking lot. Gotta start the thing up a take it for a fast ride to get the generator to catch up. Here's an attempt at some photos. Good luck. Denverslim
