Clarion 3.5 co-ax, in the dash factory hole, from HU

Alpine type-s components in the factory front doors

Kenwood 6.5 in a custom hole in the rear doors

Custom 5.25 components in the rear windows

All in an 05 Scion xB.

There are a couple of options. You can use a marine bt unit. They come in the size of a hockey puck and can mount anywhere. This is the marine unit.

There are bluetooth amplifiers. You can just use your phone or an I Pod as the music source and not touch the radio.
