Where are you guys mounting a 3rd cd player

I dont know whwre to put this cd changer. I already have gauges in the top hole and a cd player in the bottom. I dont know where to put the cd changer and even if i make hosls in the dash i cant figure it out. the only logical place i could think of is the glovebox.

any ideas from any of you original thinkers?
Heres a pic of that i have already.



any ideas?

Put the changer in the trunk, will fit under the seat if you want. hard to get at under the seat! Wont fit in glove box very easy, will fit passenger under dash with some thinkin, will mount in the rear seat where the arm rest pulls down!

That's what I said.... remove the clock and vent assembly from the long peice, make something out of CF or fiberglass to mold the CD changer up there

yeah, i agree with Kar33m. take out the clock assembly and custom fit it in there. might have to use some bondo. i mean seriously dude, look at your picture, where the HELL else can you put it?

Or a few subaru people mounted it on TOP of the dash. They made a custom DIN mount with fiberglass or bondo on top of the dash and painted the whole dash to make it look like it's 1 peice. That would look pretty good too.

actually with subarus you can order the gauge housing which is essentially a DIN pocket.. it's cheap and easy.. just like our lower gauge pocket... except that they have a 2DIN stereo mount to begin with..

Well you can order a Lancer 2 DIN stereo mount... just gotta find out where to get it cheap other than Japanparts.com who want over $200 for it.
