I bought this little Jensen radio, speakers, and antenna about a year ago, so you can tell just how critical having a radio is for me ..... lol. Now days most of my radio use is listening to conservative talk and a little golden oldies or country. I split a gal. oil jug and used it for the front part of speaker shell. After making the cutout for the speakers I used spray adhesive to attach flexible foam to shell and then added a thin piece of wood for rigidty. There was just enough room between headrest and cab to fit the speakers.

Radio had a USB connection that I ran out under front of radio, that likely will never be used.

Hi Bigol3,
How has this setup been working for you? I’m in same boat.
I also just want a basic system with AM/FM to listen to Talk radio but robust enough with a jack port for some 80’s tunes when with group rides.

just got these myself, was a member on here but i thought it was a cool idea, sound pretty decent and you can wirelessly play whatever is on your phone, i put a cigarette plug on it and mounted them to a plastic toolbox. i just have a bunch of music on mine for work, but if you can stream on your phone there a ton of different things you can use, pandora has a bunch of good channels

Bluetooth does make install speakers more simple.
