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.

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.

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.

what puts a smile on your face a radio or the sound of a well tuned sbc that you built your self?

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..

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.

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.

I had one in my '27 and could only hear it at redlights. Once I got going it got drowned out by wind and engine noise. I didn't even try in my '23. My Son has one under the seat in his T and he can hear it even though his car is VERY loud, because his Brother installed two big speakers under the dash aiming at him. When we are traveling together I can actually hear his radio clear over in my car when we stop at lights. :lol:

But like most of you, I like the engine noises the best.

You wanna impress the kids? Satellite Radio or an iPOD dock and definitely a set of wireless headphones. I had XM radio in my buick and I LOVED it. I think I was paying 10 bucks a month, and I had a "dock" with speakers in my house on my desk. I can take my reciever out of the car (about the size of a GPS) and plug it in in the house. The reciever was I think 50 bucks and the wiring kit was 10bucks. LOVE IT

That maybe a idea you have there.....Thanks AntiBoyd

These tips sure are very helpful! I was thinking of putting in a stereo. Now, I won't even bother! Besides, I'll be so busy listening to the motor and seeing front tires roll, that I won't have the time for the radio.

Yay!!! some green saved!!! :shrug:

I just wanna hear the pipes, the whine of my gear drive and the sound of the wind.

I had the same situation with my jeep. With the whine of 35" mud tires, a Flowmaster muffler, no top and no doors it made a stereo kind of useless while driving.
