I put an amplifier in my trunk with a blue tooth unit that has rca cables that feeds my amplifier. They also make BT amps but I already had my amp. I then just use my phone for music. The only draw back is controlling the volume is with my phone, not as easy as a knob on the dash...

For what it’s worth to whomever, some Bluetooth amps (like mine) have a wired remote to control volume, changing tracks and play/pause. Some Bluetooth amps do not though.
These are two other ideas I ran across when building my system I thought were interesting

Great job, I put mine in the glove box (had to cut the back) I have a none functional 8 track player and kinda like the look (for a 71).
Just be careful with a large amp not to draw fantom power and drain the battery.

Unfortunately or maybe fortunately, my dash was already cut and an aftermarket system already installed, which was low quality anyway, so I upgraded as well. When I had the dash out during my restoration I went ahead and bought a front speaker replacement, Kenwood speakers. I'm not impressed though with the sound I have coming from this system, just hasn't been a priority yet to figure it out. It works.
Good job on the placement of yours, I didn't want to mess with my console as I plan on putting the 8-track system back in and routing that through the input system of a new radio so I can just change to AUX on the radio and play the 8-track.

Rich, when the time comes, let me know. Easy way to convert the output from common ground to a line out
