Re: S4 Bose Stereo Question

       I had an Eclipse put into my '93 90CS and had the same problem, 
       but the stereo shop used the pre-outs for the rear speakers 
       since they were powered(non-bose).  The sounded excellent.  
       But, after about 5 or 6 months I started getting a winding 
       noise in sync with the engine.(Like a grounding problem).  Well 
       I brought it in and they switched the wiring to the 2x powered 
       like you talked about, and it sounded worse, but the noise was 
       gone.  I'm currently in the process of putting my eclipse into 
       my newly acquired '95 S6.  I going to try the pre-out method 
       and see how it goes.  I might consider the harness from 
       Crutchfield if I can get some more technical details on it.  If 
       I was going to keep my 90CS I think I would change out the 
       speakers and wiring, but I'm going to try to use the Bose 
       speaker system on the S6.

Hi Listers...  I have a question about the Bose system in my 1994 S4.  I want 
to upgrade to a better head unit and I'm willing to relinquish the digital 
readout on the dash board for an in dash CD (Eclipse head unit)  My question 
is about the amplified Bose speaker system.  As most Eclipse decks are 
amplified or even considered "high power"  how will this effect the sound 
quality, or better yet can I use a powered deck at all?  I cant really find 
anything on this in the Bentley, so I leave it to the pro's on the list.  Any 
help greatly appreciated!!
