I took the six CD changer and it's cage out of the trunk. I installed an aftermarket aux jack to play mp3s through the stereo. I don't use the back speakers. I frequently just listen to mp3s on my tablet, placed on the dash, with sound reflecting back at me off the windshield. But at moderate volume the stereo is not a big power draw. Not like the headlights.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
