Best place for a CD changer in an Estate?

[Digiteer]

Hi - I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for where to put a CD Changer in an estate (1998 306) so as not to lose carrying capability when the rear seets are down?

The CD Changer is 2nd hand Clarion that matches the 306's Clarion headunit and comes with a long cable from a boot-mounted 306 hatchback.

All ideas gratefully received

Regards
Malc

In most cars there are small corners such as in at the rear of the rear wheel arches in the boot, why not try in one of these areas, or if you have to fit it on the floor in a corner, try to have a strong housing made for it, to protect it. You take the cables in behind the carpets, (just at the dge and push it round further with your fingers, then take the cables in uder the plastic sill protectors on the door thresholds, and in behind the carpets again then up into the dash board. Dont put the changer unit on the top of the wheel arch as this could make it difficult should you need to change the rear struts in the future.
all the best with it.
