You guys are far more familiar with the innards for a C3 Corvette than I am.
This weekend (likely) I will have a CD/ignition box to place. I am thinking of the glove box behind the seat. Can even put a nice fused, battery disconnect there; the battery being just next door. I like the access as well rather than trying to peer under the dash.
Anyone have some cool alternative suggestions?

Reason: Crucial typo + ingition
It is 2018. Your entire CD collection can fit on a USB stick. I've been happy with a simple Bluetooth speaker tied into my phone and Amazon music for longer road trips, no music, CD, radio, or otherwise in either of my current vehicles. (My wife's cars can play USB stick music, or phone bluetooth). I'd consider a bluetooth/USB amplifier in the center rear next to the battery, but I wouldn't want to add heat-sensitive moving parts to my car. Or do you mean something else?

In that case, give MSD a call. There is likely a max distance, which they should know. I cant even speculate. If by the battery is too far of a run, perhaps behind the center gauges, unless you need the defroster.

My Mallory CD has a high pitched sound and I originally had it in the passenger compartment behind the dash. I ended up moving it to the same place shown above on my 1969 but attached it to the inner wheel well.
Mine is attached to some metal frame pieces up under the front bumper - 78 'vette. You can extend the wires but need to use one gauge size higher when extending. I can't remember if I needed to extend or not. Frankly, access isn't really all that important and it's pretty easy to get to anyway.
I think I took the center piece of the Pace Car spoiler out of the way to help with getting the drill lined up.
I made a bracket and installed it where the washer jug used to be.
That's where my 6AL box is mounted although I mounted it a little higher just to keep it further from any water source. It's been there for 18 years so it's a good place IMO.
Locating a CD Box?
