I wonder if you can take a microphone and install it inside the engine bay. Then connect the mic to the stereo.

Then I'd have a reason to upgrade the factory speakers.

 

Why not just cut holes in the firewall, cover them with a mesh screen, and let the sweet sound come direct?

 

HAHHA, thats a smart idea!

 

Nice one. You can feel/hear the sounds and EVERYTHING els coming straight at you ...

 

Hrmm.... tough decision... Cut holes in the fire wall so you can hear the engine and feel the Heat of the engine as well, or place a microphone and have comfort with crystal clear sound... I'd go with the Microphone, but that's just me..

Actually, that'd be a nice task, placing a microphone in a position where the heat wouldn't affect the clarity and rig it to the stereo. That'd take some thought.

 

If you ever do this, I'd like to hear a recording of it!

 

The call it a FIRE WALLfor a reason!

 

LOL!! At least you could get the idea of what it's like to ride in race temperatures...

 

another option would be driving in an eternal tunnel.

 

Why not just take the hood and truck lid off? That way you could hear the engine and be truly "topless".
