Re: radio install

I put a nice stereo in the tub, in the dash. Trouble is you can't hear it even with 4 speakers. There is just too much noise, from engine, headers, tires and wind to hear it at all going down the road. But to answer your question I have seen some under the seat.

Re: radio install

I had one in my Model A Tub. Same problem as RPM, they only end up being useful when parked. Lets face it, were a little old to go parking in cars this small.

Re: radio install

I mounted mine in the face of the seat bottom with a couple of speakers but ended up taking it out because it was impossible to hear.

Re: radio install

Call me old school, but when I'm driving the T or riding my bike, all I want to hear is the purr of the exhaust... crazy... I'm so easily entertained..

Re: radio install

I have an 8-track/FM reciever mounted under the dash. Works great but I can't here anything once the engine is started. But hey its an 8-track.

Re: radio install

I'm installing one in mine and for the kids in the back I'll have 3 headphone jacks glassed into the back of the front seat so while the kids sit in the back seat they can just plug and listen.
