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?

Cheers

Not actually answering the question, but this is what I sometimes use in
the kitchen

to play stuff on, or streamed from, a tablet, phone, or laptop. I'm
pretty sure it has a direct "line input" connection as well. Batteries
recharge via a micro usb port so no special power supply needed.
