Evangelos,
As someone else suggested, I have also used a spacer between the
console and bulkhead to provide the additional space needed to
install a modern stereo.
I found that angling the console upward slightly (maybe 20 degrees)
made inserting and removing CD's much easier as it provides a little
more clearance from the gear shift.
As for speakers I was concerned about installing speakers of any
value into the bulkhead. I didn't want to destroy the bulkhead or
risk losing the speakers to thieves. I was also concerned that with
my folding top down, that the speakers would be covered.
I decided to build a custom speaker box. I have two 6x9's in a custom
box built of plywood and spray painted black. I ran speaker wire under
the carpeting to the shelf behind the seats. The speakers connect
with four RCA plugs at the speaker box.
When I park the car, I simply throw the speakers in the
boot and stop worrying.
Good Luck.
Chris.
