Help with Stereo

[joel nevin]

My opinion replace it all!!
I had a crappy system in my 93 90Q and replaced the
whole system, made custom kickpanels for the front and
put a 10" sub and amp/x-over in the rear tire well.
Unfortunately I did such a bang up job that some punks
decided to break in and steal the whole thing. If you
need help let me know. I enjoy that sort of stuff.
Depending on the car, the stereo most likely was made
by Bose. If you replace the speakers with some good
aftermarket ones, you'll most likely need to do the
head/amp unit as well.
There are so many +'s to doing your own system, sound,
upgradeability, stability....
If you try to just update the crappy system you'll
eventually run into the same problems.

If you need help with the install email me.
