I've been experimenting with ideas for a hidden audio system in 'Miss Daisy' my '60 220S Fintail, that doesn't require chopping holes in the original interior. The factory radio location in the dash has a very narrow height availible so a modern radio/faceplate won't fit or look right.
One option I'm considering is reinstalling the original working Becker AM tube radio for show, then installing a pair of 2-way compact 'cube' speakers under the front seats powered off a compact stereo amplifier unit concealed behind the dash. The only thing visible would be a small power switch and amp input jack mounted under the dash, to which I would cable the output from an FM/cassette walkman or battery CD player, which could rest in the console or glovebox.
I tried an old mid '80s Clarion unit that I had laying around, but it seems to be dead or, maybe, the output from my Walkman wasn't compatible. When connected to a Walkman it played weakly with the Clarion switch in the off/bypass mode but when switched on, it sometimes amplified for a split second, then nothing.
Does any one make or sell those compact stereo amp/equalizer units anymore?
(Not those Monster-Blaster amps the Rice-Boys have in their Civics!)

Thanks in advance, Mark
