Question

Is it permissible to install speakers in a car during Chol Hamoed by oneself, not in a garage?

Answer

Hello and joyous holidays!

An activity necessary for the holiday is permitted if it is a 'simple task' [= something that anyone, even if not a professional, can do].

Therefore, if the speaker is needed for use during the holiday, and its installation is simple and easy, it is permissible to install it. 

However, if there is no need for it now, but only after the holiday, it is forbidden. 

Similarly, if professional knowledge or experience is required for the installation, it is forbidden.
