Evangelos, if you are looking for really good sound (if possible in a
Spridget), you can replace the cardboard rear panel with piece of wood.
This would also preserve your original panel for later use.
The original panel has a bend it it near the top, but I made mine just
straight and it works fine. I mounted two good 6x9 speakers to the panel
FROM THE BACK (trunk) and covered the front with some black fabric.
Thus the speakers are completely invisible so they don't ruin the classic
look of the cockpit, reduce chance of theft, and sound great.
My radio is also mounted out of sight.
Get good speakers and a radio with enough power to crank it up when on the
highway.
