was: Bose Woes. LAC! now: spkr upgrade

[Chris Dyer]

Yes, Bose is ok, but not what they advertise, IMO...of course I'm a Bang &
Olufsen dealer, so extreme prejudice and brainwashing by stubborn Danes has
taken affect.

NOW, back to Audis: I have an '87 5kcstq w/5.8 million miles, and I'm
thinking of upgrading the spkrs. It looks like there are 10 total? 2 in
dash, 2 ea. fr. door, 1 ea. rr. door, 2 on rear deck. Have I miss counted?

Also, what are the sizes? According to Crutchfield, the deck ones are 6 1/2"
and doors are 5 1/4". But there are smaller component(?) paired up w/the
fives on the front doors, unknowns in the dash. Anyone?

Last for you car audiophiles, is it worth upgrading ALL 10?! What have y'all
done? Maybe unhooking some, and just upgrading rr deck and fr. doors' will
be an inexpensive improvement...then again, maybe not.
