Automotive radio support and conversion apparatus

An automotive radio support and conversion apparatus comprising, in combination,

• a housing, the housing including a forward wall, a top wall, a rear wall, a right side wall, and a left side wall, the right side wall including a right speaker selectively securable thereto, and the left side wall including a left speaker selectively securable thereto, and
• an audio unit securable within said housing, and
• power means within said housing for directing selectively direct current or alternating current to said audio means, and
• a battery pack mounted through a rear wall of said housing, and
• an alternating current electrical cord mounted through the wall of said housing adjacent the battery pack, and
• a storage unit mounted within said housing underlying the audio unit, and
• wherein the top wall of the housing includes a telescoping antenna pivotally mounted thereto, and a semi-cylindrical recess mounted to the top wall of the housing for receiving the antenna in a nested configuration therewithin, and
• wherein the storage unit includes a panel removably mounted thereto, and
• wherein the panel includes a first and second "U" shaped handle fixedly mounted to a forward surface of the panel to permit selective removal of the panel relative to the housing, and
• including a compartment directed rearwardly of the panel underlying the audio unit, the compartment including a series of vertical partition walls mounted within the compartment, and
• the partition panels define a plurality of "T" shaped cavities, the "T" shaped cavities vertically aligned within the compartment to selectively receive a cassette member or a compact disk member within each "T" shaped cavity, and
• the housing is formed of a polymeric fluid impermeable material, and
• the right speaker and the left speaker include a respective right speaker wire and left speaker wire directed from each respective right and left speakers to the housing, and the housing including a right spool and a left spool to selectively accommodate the respective right and left speaker wire thereabout for storage, and
• each right and left spool is fixedly and orthogonally mounted to the rear wall of the housing, and
• each right and left speaker includes a speaker wire cavity formed through the rear wall of each speaker, the speaker wire cavity of each speaker including a plurality of speaker wire connectors to permit selective association of each speaker, with alternative audio speaker outputs from an associated amplifier.
