Any body ever heard of and, maybe, had some experience with a (to me) new
brand of car audio equipment called "Oz"?  Reason I ask is that there is a
three way component set that will drop perfectly into a 1991 911, it appears
(tweeters, 5.25 mids, 8" woofers) with the requisite woofer enclosures for
the rear.

Regards,

Carl

ps:  our 95 s6 runs great; glad we got it.  New wheels and tires helped a
bit; now for suspension next tuesday....koni/HR.
