Thought I'd throw some of my ideas out there to keep people thinking:

Kenneth:

The 91 stock no-pkg-A dash had no stereo - just a plane piece of plastic
above the storage bin.  There's a black plastic plug where the antenna
would be.  It would be obvious to a thief that there's no stereo in this car.

I've been thinking along the lines of a CD changer and an amp in the
trunk, an antenna hidden maybe within a bumper, probably just a flexible
wire of some kind, and a walkman of some sort that would plug in
conveniently somewhere in the car.  I would make wiring harnesses so that
all the connections could be made with one connector.  I've also wondered,
though I haven't checked it out yet, if I can get a car AM/FM/cass. with a
remote, mount the unit in the trunk, then keep the remote concealed.
Loading only 1 tape at a time would be no problem for me.  I usually don't
have the heart to listen to the Sox lose, but I am an NPR (National Public
Radio) addict on WBUR and/or WGBH.
