Re: Blaupunkt(?) gamma stereo

Small problem?

Can't answer your question regarding wattage of rear speakers but would 
like your feedback on following:

1) I also do get a slight static when energizing gamma unit. but never 
enough to blow the speakers.

2) I have never had a worse head unit than the gamma - unthinkable given 
I've had $99 audiovox (put in my '71 Ford Bronco as a giveaway to night 
theives - never stolen, despite leaving unlocked and topless in North 
Oakland, and provided years of distorted but reliable sound) .  I am now 
on my third unit for a two year old car.  I've checked the archives and 
found numerous complaints about the unit cutting off power to speakers 
and such - all symptons I've experienced consistently.  I am tired of 
having sh*tty sound on a $30K+ car. Anybody have good suggestions on a 
good aftermarket replacement unit that does not look too out of place on 
my 95 90csq? I do not want a CD player.

3)  Have you personally removed the rear speakers? If so I would 
appreciate general instructions.  My left rear speaker cuts out from 
time to time and back on after I flat-hand the door.  I think the 
connection needs to be re-soldered or something.  But if removing the 
speakers, maybe I should replace them with something better? Any 
suggestions?

4)  P.S.  I've never had a Blaupunkt last more than 18 months except for 
the original (?) radio unit on my ex-wife's 74 bug. 

Thanks in advance for your reply and good luck! GAMMAS SUCK!
