    Yup. Already have in-wall speakers. And they sound pretty darn good. I think the blown cellulose in the walls works like poly fill. Or maybe my imagination.

    Right now, I think what I'm going to do is something like someone suggested above. Put a structured wiring enclosure in the wall and run power and speaker terminals to the inside. I can stick with the Bluetooth amplifier I already have and just hide everything inside.

    This could all change at some point so I like all all the ideas.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    I am so glad I am happy with the stock radio in the vehicle if I want to listen to talk radio.

    Since in the shop I wear ear plugs 90 % of the time

    Not that anyone cares, but here's the mostly final result. Ignore drywall work.

    Basically, used what I had and added the enclosure. It's not 100% what I was looking for, but I like it.

    Thanks!

    Banana plugs were left over from the previous version. I could take them or leave them. Although, they do kind of hold up the amp.
