[V8] New speakers

[Seamus O'Carey]

Yeah, they're factory BOSE speakers, with their original pods, but they've
clearly been messed with before.  There's duct tape on the back of the pod
module (at the least on the driver's side) covering the wires and not all of
the screws are metric sizes anymore (on of them is actually a bolt/screw
that's roughly 6.5mm, but also has a slot for a screwdriver).

Oh, the connector on the back of the pod is a round, black plug with a
purple clip on the back.  Sound stock to you guys?

I'm thinking I'll just redo the entire stereo system.  I already have the
speakers, amps, wiring, etc. out of my Corrado, I might as well use them.
