I used search but everything I found had to do with in dash radios. I removed the heater controls and radio space to put in an array of vdo gauges. I don't have a center console.

Now that I have been successful quieting up the car I want to put in some tunes.
I want to keep my glove box working so need other ideas. Either a radio....or a way to play music from my phone.

I'm going to use one of these in my build. DROK mini amplifier.

It's just an AUX-IN with a volume knob. You supply it with 12v, and run the speaker wires.

Here it is on my radio delete plate next to a couple stop watches.

If you've quieted up your interior a lot it should be enough volume.

Actually that's not that bad looked at the reviews on amazon, they come in 10wx2, 15wx2 and 35wx2, the 35x2 is $20.

Cons is it's for car audio so it runs better at 14v (if you're thinking PC audio, 12v), it gets hot and no case. Also it won't run a subwoofer and is only 2 channel.
Pro is it doesn't distort at high volume, sound is pretty good and it's 20 bucks.
