I've found a small bluetooth unit, and am going to wire speakers the same place I used in 1966 for my 1963 Healey: the footwells :-). There is a lot of room up under the passenger side footwell (where the pedal box would be located for a RHD car, and a great sounding woofer can be placed there. Smaller speakers can be mounted on either side of the center console for the mid-range and high range tones. When driving, the sound system is most likely turned off...however when the car is parked for a picnic (etc.), it is pleasant to have some nice tunes playing :-) At least, that was what I was doing in the 1960's :-).</p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Tue, Aug 4, 2020 at 12:12 PM Kees Oudesluijs <<a href="mailto:coudesluijs@chello.nl">coudesluijs@chello.nl</a>> wrote:</p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt'>There are period dual polarity radio's with FM around.<br><br>Kees Oudesluijs<br><br><br><br>Op 4-8-2020 om 18:01 schreef Bob Spidell:<br>> My BJ8 has an original BMC radio, I got a replacement speaker from <br>> Radio Shack (I know, lotta help).
