I have a car radio/ CD player in the kitchen which fits nicely out of
the way underneath a row of wall cupboards with a suitable cut-out in
the trim.
The speakers are on top of the cupboards, quite near the ceiling, which
is fine when things are quiet, but they're a bit far away compared to,
say, the kettle and so need to be turned up more than I'd like.
An answer would be some sort of flat speakers attached to the underside
of the cupboards - say about 2" high.
Then I saw pictures of 'soundbars'. I know nothing of these, but it
looks like some of them would fit nicely and unobtrusively behind the
trim on the underside of the cupboards.
But I don't want the electronics, just the housing with the speakers
directly connected to the car radio. Seems like it should be an easy
mod, but I've never looked inside these things - anyone done this?

Speakers with minimal box volumes can be expected to have pants bass. If you must save space, use ceiling speakers.

It's not so much about the space as moving the sound source closer to
the ears, although I wouldn't want conventional speakers in the way on
the worktop. Bass isn't the issue - it's the kitchen and there's good
old fashioned Hi-Fi in a couple of other rooms.
Cheers
