Especially 92-95 hatchbacks. I have a few of them. They're small, get great gas mileage, yet you can pack them full with a lot of stuff. Parts are easy and cheap to come by and they're fairly easy to work on.
I play a lot of shows. Almost all of them cause some sort of hearing damage due to excessive stage volume. So, I've put together some equipment to help reduce the sound pressure levels that reach my ears without disrupting my ability to clearly hear the other musicians and myself. This is no easy task. The simple solution is to just wear ear plugs. Unfortunately this creates many problems for the brass player including intonation issues, excessive "mouth noise", and occlusion. Custom fitted "musician's ear plugs" seem to reduce these issues but not alleviate them. Traditional in-ear monitors eliminate these issues but the infrastructure (your own mix from the board or separate monitor mixer) needed makes it difficult to implement. Not to mention that you'd need considerable cooperation from the sound guy and you know how they are. The stripped down, cheap method is to use an item like the Rolls PM50s to feed some headphones. The problem here is that the only source you get is from your mic and you are tethered to the unit via the headphone cable. This is fine for gigs that don't require much dancing/moving around (i.e. "reading gigs" where I stand behind a music stand the whole time). I have a Sennheiser Wireless IEM system (an older version) and a Shure SLX Clip-On Mic to deal with the mobility issue. I also got a Shure P4M "pass-thru" mixer which has 4 inputs. With this little mixer I can take 4 lines into the mixer, mix them independently and in stereo, and feed them to my ears. The important part is that the mixer also lets the individual signals pass through the mixer completely unaffected so the FOH gets all unadulterated signals. I've assembled these three items in an SKB rack case (see below) that makes it really easy to transport and set-up since it's all wired and ready to go. One day I might incorporate one of these. Only problem is they're two grand!
