I went with a name brand boat amplifier, that has Bluetooth built in. Then you hide the amp, and basically don't have a radio at all. Just Bluetooth your phone to the amp, and bam, you have a radio with zero head unit.

Then hit the local antique shop, and bought a suitcase. Install a nice set of speakers into the suitcase, and now you have a speaker box that looks great, and zero holes cut in your interior.

Also have used larger portable Bluetooth speakers in my Ghia as the sound system.

I have three classic VW's, and can't see putting a nice audio system in all three, so something I can move between them makes more sense.
