I'm going to install a cd changer in my 93 4-door. Unit is about as small as they get. Wiring will be easy because it is controlled by the head unit. Would like it within reach of the front seats. I know one of you has already solved this problem, so I'm hoping you'll give me the benefit of your experience.
Thanks!

Ive been trying to find a changer small enough that I could massage into the center console. So far it is only theory. Havent really tried for practical application.

I just bought a 90' cherokee, and under the back seat I found all the wiring for a CD changer ( DIN cable, rca's, and power wire ). I assumed by the space there that it was only a 6 pack in there but it was do'able. It was all under the drivers side back seat. I am not putting on back in as I purchased a handheld mp3 player for muliple use and just plug into the head unit.
P.S. my seat bottom folds up so the back can fold flush, not sure if the 93' is the same?

I've found a much better, (and cheaper) solution.
I just bought cd players (sony in the jeep $300, aiwa in the volvo $225), that can read mp3 files. copy your cd's to the computer and make your own cdr's, with a folder for each album, and the songs in mp3 format. each disc will hold 10-15 albums of music (roughly10-12 hours). so changing a disc has the same effect as changing a cartridge in a 10-cd changer (except you can do it safely, at speed, on the freeway).
in a 12 cd vissor case I have over 150 albums available. in the car at all times.
and as a nice security bonus, when my car was broken into last july 4th, they only got 12 homemade cd's (costing me about $.60 each) and all of my originals where safely at home. had I originals in the car I'd have been out almost $2,000 worth of cd's.
and if you copy them at a high enough bit-rate you get the same quality sound as a cd.
