[Spridgets] CD Player Install

[James Gruber]

Ryan,
   
  I agree with what Frank C. responded. As long as you've got a CD player with antenna jack on the side or a on a cable. I put a Sony CD AM/FM receiver in there. I do need to leave the bottom ears on the console out about a 1/2" and you will need to redrill new top hole and use a little longer screw but I can change radio channels and change CD's as long as car is in 2nd or 4th gear. Not an issue. Set of 6 x 9"'s in the back shelf and Miata Seats going in for this Spring with headrest speakers. Spare XM Radio going in as well so Channel 74 Bluesville will be rocking in Bugsy.
   
  PS Consider extending the fuseholder on the power supply so it is not located behind the console. Don'rt ask me how I know said he as he needed to dismantle the console this weekend after blowing a fuse when reconnecting the battery.
   
  PSPS Also consider a small SPDT switch that you can use to switch radio on/off. One side goes to a switched source that goes on when ignition switch is turned on, the other goes to an always on source. Center post goes to power wire on radio. I mounted little mini switch out of site under the dash. One way normal operation, the other way I can listen to tunes with car off. Mount to bottom of dash bracket on left side of dash. Simple to set up and use.
