A while back I posted a question about putting an audio system in my 100. I wanted something not visible, small, and capable of running a signal off an iPod. Here is what I've done.
On e-bay I found a small 2 channel amplifier. It is a Mitzu MIT-75R. It says 250W per channel, but does not specify if that is peak or RMS, so I'm guessing it is probably less than half of that. It came with a free adapter cord that goes from the earphone jack to RCA connectors, so I was happy. Cost about $45. I installed it against the bulkhead on top of the glove tray. I wired next to it an illuminated rocker switch that I can see from the drivers seat. This is because I took power off the battery side of the starter solenoid and didn't want it to be on when ever the battery disconnect switch was on, but I wanted to be able to use it with the ignition off. Inside the door pockets there is a small stiffener just forward of the opening. I was able to fasten a couple of oval 6" speakers such that they face aft and are not very obvious. I drilled a small hole for the speaker wire and put black heat shrink on the wire so that it too is not very noticeable. I have an 8gig iPod that holds my entire LP and CD collection, modest as it is. There is some very neat hardware available for putting LP's into MP3 files that costs under $100. I can plug the Ipod directly into the amp and get sound that suits me. For the radio I found another treat. Apple makes a tiny unit called an iPod radio remote. It plugs into the ipod and turns it into an FM receiver. It measures 1" x 1.25" x 1/4" thick. It is tiny. It costs about $50. The reception is very good but is very sensitive to placement of the iPod and the wiring. It has a clip on it so you can clip it to your shirt or anything fairly thin. It has pre-set staion capability and I am quite happy with it. All done for about a couple of hundred bucks (iPod not included). Plus, when I get to where I'm going I can unplug the iPod and take it with me in a shirt pocket. I could remove the whole system and leave no trace in about a half hour. On to the next project.
