While my 80's vintage overdone stereo receives little use I'd like to have something for those long drives. A recent trip using an Iphone and a blue tooth speaker proved there's other options. I've searched similar posts for ideas along with my minimizing plans. I deleted the antenna years ago so I'm hoping other Pelicans can critique/chime in on my ideas.
First idea is to delete the rear speakers and one of the ADS amplifiers. Switching between the front and rear set of speakers has demonstrated (to me at least) the front door ADS speakers (normal round speaker plus a small tweeter above) provide better overall sound than the rears and possibly better than a combination of the two. This fits my minimization goal and cleans up the rear package shelf.
Next thought is to delete the dash mounted head unit and replace it with a unit recommended by Tremelune.

Not sure where to mount it...maybe the console or ashtray...but I'd like to clear the dash for a future improvement like the backdated basketweave effect or maybe even wood pieces like the early 911s
Am I going down the right path? Any guidance appreciated and thanks ahead
