[TR] MP3 / IPOD hidden stereo

[Brad Kahler]

Ken,

What type of speakers did you buy, where did you mount them and how
did you mount them?  Currently I have no sound system in the car.

Where did you mount the amplifier?  You're using it the way I envision
using one if I decide to go that route.  I don't care to install a
radio/stereo partly because I don't want to hassle with an antenna and
also because my radio plate has to cigarette lighter outlets in it.

Also where do you put your iphone while driving?

Thanks!

Brad
