Re: Looking for Audi/Bose rear speakers

[Mark McCulley <audicar99@hotmail.com>]

They aren't as much trouble as the Bose are with an aftermarket head unit. 
My head unit (Blaupunkt) didn't have a hot enough preamp out signal to drive 
them adequately so I had to run them off the speaker outputs. Worked OK, but 
I had to adjust the fader to the front to get the front/rear balance right.
