Re: New Quattro in the family

[joel nevin <joelnevin@yahoo.com>]

I installed a system on my 4000q(sold) and many of my
friends cars. It is fairly straight forward but very
time consuming. Are you putting in  a whole
system(deck,speakers,x-overs(passive or
active),amplifier, basically not using any of the old
wiring?

I learned the hard way to do it right the first time,
then you won't kick yourself later when you want to
upgrade or take it back out.

Any questions you can e-mail me directly,becuase this
stuff can get wordy:
