it is a kenwood 10 disc changer. i really dont want to have it in the trunk. last time i had a changer in the trunk, the bass from the speakers would make it skip. i was wondering if anyone has installed one in their glove box or under it. it doesnt seem like it would fit in the glove box though. has anyone done a custom install. help me out if you got any suggestions. thanks.

 

u can either put it in the trunk, glove box, or if u modify the center arm rest part, u can probly fit it in there...

 

I SERIOUSLY doubt you could do it in the center console without basically remolding a new one. The console is pretty shallow and right underneath it are the seatbelt mechanisms so even in you cut out the bottom (which actually unscrews if you take the whole thing out), it will only give you about an inch or so more

Matt93SE had a changer under the passenger seat on his old 93GXE
Glove box would be a tight fit and there's not much room behind it there either

 

I agree with Craig...best place would either be in your trunk or under your pass seat. Armrest won't work and neither will glove box (heater core right behind it)

i am gonna try to make a little box under my glove box and put it there. i am just afraid of people kickin it. i already have something under my passenger seat, so that wont work. thanks for the suggestions. ill let you know what happens and send some pics if i do a custom install. kool

 

Hopefully, it won't make you present car look like your OLD car! OWTCH!!!

 

If you're putting a Kenwood 10-Disc changer in your ride, forget about mounting it under the seats (especially if it's taller than the 6-disc model). I have the 6-Disc FM model under mine, and it's barely making it, especially when somebody's sitting up front, and you have to worry about people adjusting the front seat back and forth. Mine skips quite a bit under there, but that could be because I don't have it mounted very well under there, or because it's kinda old. I'm looking to mount mine in a different place, but I like the convenience of having it inside the cockpit where I can reach it. I had the same problem with 'skipping' in the trunk compartment with a Clarion (supposedly skip-proof) changer in an Accord w/subs in the trunk, and I'm trying to avoid that same problem.

If you can swing it, I'd suggest moving whatever's under your front passenger seat, and trying to mount the changer under there instead. I'm considering mounting two small amps under my seat, and leaving the changer put.

Good luck finding a good spot for your changer.

I've been very happy with mine in the trunk. It never skips, not even under the most bass the Boses give me or the hardest bumps. I have a few pics on my site under "Bose."

 

I have a clarion 12 disc changer and i cut a piece of my back seat out and put it there and people never notice until they sit on it!
