Re: help, moron installed stereo in CQ (bypass rear amp?)

["CHRIS AHOLA" <aholact@songs.sce.com>]

     Why would you expect free installation?  Time costs money and so does 
     installing radios.  But $30 extra to just bypass an amp is a lot.  
     Anyway, in my 5000 the amp is in the trunk mounted to the bottom of 
     the rear deck.  I'm no expert on electronics but most amps require a 
     low input signal. You can't put an amplified signal into an amp, which 
     may be the problem your having.  Find the amp, disconnect the speaker 
     wires and run the wires directly to the speakers.
     
     Good luck,

HAppy New Year!
     
Well I got a Sony CD player for Christmas from my dad and had it installed 
last night.  It was purchased at Circuit City, so I went to them for 
installation.  They wanted to charge  me for the installation, so once the 
guy had already spent 30 minutes on it, I told him I wanted to return the 
stereo since they were going to charge me for installation.  They finallly 
said they would do it for free........you have to treat these people like 
counter help if you want to get your way!
     
OK, problem:  they told me they may have to reroute around the rear speaker 
amp, and that would cost $30, I told him to take a flying leap!  So as a 
result, I'm gettting the "whine" in my rear speakers that is commisurate with 
engine speed.  So, I guess I need to disable my rear amp, maybee?  WHere is 
it and how do I do it?  BTW, electronics are not my speciality!  I'm only 
good with mechanical problems.
     
Hope you are all having a great new year, I just started a new job and it 
looks to be a great year ahead for me (and for AUDI)!
