Re: Looking for Audi/Bose rear speakers

[Jim Hopkins <Jhoppy@earthlink.net>]

I just recently had an Alpine CD deck (w/ 35 watts per 4 channels) installed in
my 89 100Q ...... no problems with the rear speakers. the dealer (Circuit City)
recognized the amplified rear speakers and said he hooked up everything with no
difficulty.

As far as "free" installation goes ..... hmmmmmmmmm The Alpine price comes with
installation included, but they still charged me about 25 bucks for an adapter
and wiring harness.
