	I put my changer vertically in the recess area, just on the left
side of the lock. Works great.

	Don't bother with rearfill as Brian said. Just put good speakers
in the front. The gas tank indeed is behind the seats but there is enough
clearance to put two 8" in the deck. I have a open front end wood cover
custom made for the subwoofers so that the top would not cover the them
and bass can come through in the front, however, this leads to the top not
lying flat in the deck and rattle against the roll bar. Now I just use
a towel to cover the subwoofers. Bass is still good since it goes through
anything but it makes the plastic window rattle.
