CD Changer/Stealth enclosure
CD Changer/Stealth enclosure If I were to get a subwoofer to take up the driver's side enclosure area, where my current 12disc sits, where are my other options to have a cd-changer? I've got the single slot in the monsoon HU but that's not enough. I'm thinking adapting an iPod might work for me however I'm used to CDs and organizing them a certain way.
Either way, is there any other feasible place to mount a changer if a sub replaces its current location?

You could buy the passenger side stealth box from Sub Thump but then you lose the jack and tire.. You could just move the CD changer to the hatch shelf as well. There should be enough cable.

I've seen pictures from someone who moved the CD changer to the passenger's side. He cut an opening at the bottom of the trim panel for the front of the changer to stick through. If I remember correctly he was able to keep the spare tire.

Yea that would work but you'd need to cut the changer harness and extend it and run it under the hatch carpet but all in all not a real big job...

And before some says "sound quality" you should know that my entire 400 disc library is Apple Lossless and fits on my 80 GB Ipod

When I mounted my box:
I just cut the harness, extended the wires, and mounted it here (not affecting my spare tire at all):
I drilled the welds out of the bracket holding it down and then screwed it down on the other side so it still has the factory bracket as well.
At least it did untill I took all that factory crap out

Hell, why are we even talking about CD players....get a hard wired Ipod adapter and a nice Ipod and who needs a CD changer anyway

I tore out all the old wiring, soundproofed, and ran new wiring but this can give you some ideas.

Or you could buy the SubThump Amp Rack that is custom made to fasten to the rear wall of your t-top well area (right behind taillights) and mount the CD player there.
I have an aftermarket system with (2) 10" subs in Stealth boxes on both PS and DS, amp rack with (2) amps and a pioneer CD player mounted on amp rack in between the amps.

I mounted mine here, but it might not work for some since mine does not have the Monsoon system, therefore no speaker in the hatch area.
I'm able to keep the spare tire and jack, but the changer has to be removed in order to access the spare tire.
