A low tech solution I use is to just pair up a battery-powered Bluetooth-enabled speaker with a cell phone, then stream music from Spotify, Amazon Prime, Pandora etc. There are pretty good quality speakers available for not too much that easily fit on the dash, on or under a seat, etc. but can be readily stored away for shows.
Some years back, I installed a retro type radio, but never could figure out how to replace the speakers in the dash.

Subject: Re: Sound upgrade....BluetoothGood questions. The applications I've seen mostly go through the existing radio, for example this install in a 1967 Fury:

There are external Bluetooth enabled speakers that also have input jacks to plug in a wire connection from a headphone jack in a phone (if the phone has one!). My limited experience is wire connection works better.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HHZFVYC/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1 is an example.
Then you use the controls on the phone / output device to select the treble, bass, and volume.
That's about it for my pay grade on this topic. :)
Thanks,'
