I made this crude setup a while back ,added speakers after this pic.View attachment 667975

Why did you move the shifter? Is that a different transmission?

I almost ordered one of the those military guys ceiling consoles, but decided to make my own, the money went 2x as far. 4 6.5 kicker CSC speakers, Bluetooth 500w amp, dome light...etc

Funny you link your details to a historical club when the modifications go against anything remotely historical to the year of the vehicle you installed it into.
Most historical clubs try and keep the vehicles they represent as original as possible.

Not sure how many HMMWV's came from the factory with kicker speakers do you have the NSN # for them.

Yes the NSN # is 5555555......

Ya ya ya, you got me! I did make it as close to bolt on as possible and only had to tap a few screws, so can remove if I ever wanted to pretty quickly. Just sharing the option for those who are looking for a solution, I think I did a **** fine job for a dyi-er!

Also, the CHHC doesn't get too hung up on that stuff, more of an enthusiast group, though it definitely does have it's purists.

Here is my new stereo setup. I also applied sound deadening every where I could

While I am amazed at the good quality work that goes into the application of a sound system....I think it's kinda like installing a radio in the engine compartment of a greyhound bus.

SEMPER FI !

I'm wrapping up getting my HMMWV back together - and am looking at trying to install a stereo and speakers (likely just a bluetooth receiver - not complete stereo). I was going to install a bluetooth receiver in a gauge pod - but saw pictures of this from Midwest Military. It would solve my stereo and speaker problem - plus give me cup holders. I've contacted them about the console - but haven't heard back.

It looks to be built around a radio tray - bu I can't tell. Has anyone done something similar? I'd like to either buy something like this or build one - trying to figure out how.

Thx

1. Chief_919 - any pictures of that setup? I thought about using ammo cans - but am looking for pictures of a good setup. Ideally - I'd like to get a box big enough for something like that Boss BT receiver, a couple of reasonably-sized speakers, a small locking Glovebox , plus a phone charger / USB.
2. Whistlepig - I like that setup too. What kind of box is that? Do you have pictures with the speakers added?
3. Carrera911 - thanks for the pics - I'll have a look at your earlier posts.
4. Jeffmcclan - I looked at that setup. I like the idea of the dome light - but am not sure I want everything else up there. I have thought about just building a similar console - with limited equipment - so it's more water resistant. If I went that route - I'd put the BT receiver in a gauge pod and mount it like the factory tach. I really don't think I want the speakers up there though . . .

Thx D

Thanks. I've already got a radio tray to start with . . . I think I'm going to fabricate something with wood / cardboard and then talk to someone about making it from aluminum or sheet metal . . .
