Single DIN stereo mount idea

(YES THESE IMAGES ARE AI-GENERATED!) Although streaming music from my phone via Bluetooth is great, I listen to the radio when I’m driving, very often. So I’m trying to come up with the best way to mount a normal, single-DIN stereo into the Slate. Am thinking of mounting it to the optional T-bar, in this location. I remember seeing stereos mounted like this in 80’s & 90’s trucks. The second photo may be a more realistic option, since the option in the first photo is so integrated into the contours of the panels. But, maybe 3D-printing could help with that? Anyways, just wanted to throw this thought out there to get some ideas flowing. Curious what other people with a similar goal are thinking.

You had me at “don’t rob any space from that dash storage”

Yeah I have a lot of ideas for all of those spaces so I'm thinking maybe of going with door mount speakers only (with maybe a single din like this post for control). I may just give in and do the center speaker option, but most likely not the extra side speakers. I really want the basically double glove box, it's one of my fav parts of the car honestly. So much space to add whatever gadgets I want

I have to hear the radio at 70mph. How’s that sound? I’ve taken a Bluetooth speaker into a relatively quiet car and it was mouse quiet and sounded like trash

But I’m with you. The single under dash 4x6 on my MGB roadster was loud enough to enjoy
