[s-cars] RE: Help with an FM-modulated CD changer install

[Jon Boultinghouse]

I just replaced everything... Head unit, speakers, new CD/MP3 changer, XM 
radio, the works... never been happier.. even the cheapest after markey 
audio equipment will make old Bose sound like a phonograph... to cut to the 
chase... I have the blaupunkt 10 disc changer if anyone needs it... don't 
know how much these go for, or if anyone really wants one... I didn't read 
the other threads to this msg, so I'm out of the loop.   But make an 
offer...

-and now, no center resonator... sounds pretty good for 35 bucks
