A stereo in the passenger glove box is the most discrete, and 2 small'ish speakers hidden each side of the front parcel shelf, or if may be possible to bolt them up under the dash

I mounted it using 50mm L plates from hardware shops secured with M4 nuts and bolts which thread straight into the casing of most radios

Mine's in basically the same place as Peetee's except I made a bracket from sheet metal.
