I don&#8217;t need fancy speakers or any of that stuff, I pretty much just want it to function and be light and out of the way for a clean\/nonexistent look.<\/p>\n<p>My solution to that problem is a hand-me-down ipod and a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B003K154IE\/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details\" target=\"_blank\">Pyle\u00a0PLMRMP3A marine mini amp<\/a>. I chose it because it&#8217;s pretty small, light, cheap, and included a remote aux. input and volume knob which made it perfect for a standalone system with no head unit. The amp is mounted to the housing that used to carry the original amp up inside the dash. With no ipod connected, you can&#8217;t really even tell there is any stereo at all unless you look underneath the console where I mounted the knob and input. It only weighs a couple ounces less than the stock amp, but I don&#8217;t have a head unit to deal with and the ipod is removed when not in use. It may be a little bit of an unorthodox setup, but I like it a lot.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1127\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/93b-pod.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1127\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1127 \" title=\"93b pod\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/93b-pod-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1127\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Not much to see here!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s not too much to ask!\u00a0 Although my Sunbird is very stripped down, there are a few things that I wanted to maintain for now given its daily driven status and some semblance of an audio system was one of &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/?p=1125\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1993-pontiac-sunbird-coupe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1125"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1125\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1149,"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1125\/revisions\/1149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
