Stereo Upgrade in 1995 90Q

I just installed a Kenwood stereo in my 94 90S. I bought a harness (Best
Kits & Harnesses BHA1784) as well as an antenna adaptor from my local car
stereo pusher. Plug 'n' play - but only the front speakers worked.
Fortunately the Kenwood has a line-out for rear speakers. I made an
appropriate harness using three 3/16" male disconnects cut to size and a
$1.99 phono cord from Radio Shack. Now there's sound in the back. Sounds
great IMO. Obviously not up to par with a Krell & Mark Levinson home stereo
but quite nice.
