Though the door speakers sounded good when no one had their leg in front of it, I do think a sort of satellite sound system would be best. You could have a 4 inch subwoofer in the front doors (Not talking about the ones built for Rap Music) and the speakers would be little and above your head. This way you hear the highs and thus enjoy true stereo separation. If not the doors having a subwoofer, the console could have a 3-4 inch subwoofer in it. Without the highs you don't really notice what really could be very wide stereo separation in a car. GM however has some nice factory Radio's with CD players too that sound great. Even the older ones did nicely. The C. Crane FM2 connected to your smartphone would do wonders if you didn't already have WiFi Radio in your car and then in areas where there is no good Radio stations other than Rap, you can listen to Internet Radio. GM has some of the best FM receivers in their cars. A lot of them also have AM Stereo too. I'm really surprised there isn't more AM Stereo transmitters available due to this fact. They could be very useful when you travel in areas where FM is crowded and there is no blank spot (Even 87.9 gets washed from 88.1 in some areas). A good portable AM Stereo transmitter with a wire going from the front to the rear of your car should do the trick for being able to play tunes from your smartphone to your car Radio. Now that would be the smart way to use part 15 AM Stereo in a car.

I have completely forgotten that this car stereo has rca plugs for adding external amplifiers.
When I have the time, i will take a few things out to the Jeep, a netbook, the usb audio interface which has rca plugs and a screw driver.
Pulling 4 screws from the dash makes it possible to remove the car stereo from the dash, once it is loose i can plug the rca cables into the radio and the audio interface then the usb to the netbook. This will allow me to record my station audio directly from a radio, completely free and clear of the studio computer.
Just raw audio from the receiver to Audacity on an Acer Aspire One netbook.
Also I have been wanting to use the Chrysler RAZ stereo i removed from the jeep as an over the air monitor in the studio, i just need to catch Walmart at the right time when they have the wiring harness i need to connect the radio to a power supply and speakers. There are a lot of Jeeps in Hazard,Ky which is why the store can't keep the harness i need in stock.
The RAZ is am stereo/fm stereo, cassette and cd so it will also make a nice dx radio during those cold winter nights.

Mobile Unit
And so your car (jeep) has become a mobile part of your radio complex.
I wonder what new things I could do out in the car besides listen while driving.
Today will be national mobile expansion day.

When not driving and needing a quiet place to record voice overs or announcements etc, record in your car/truck/van/suv , the auto industry has become experts at sound deadening to control road noise inside of a vehicle when it is being driven.
That same technology makes it a great sound proof (while not 100% sound proof) studio.
Try it sometime.

Let's Have a Serious Talk
What a very good idea... using the car as a voice-over studio.
After all, the car is often the place where serious agreements are reached on a date. The voice acoustics are just right to reach an understanding.
"I'll be out in the car for awhile."
