RE: Stock Bose Stereo

[Tim Irwin <timi@Interlinq.com>]

Ok, it appears that I've continued my tradition of making grossly incorrect
statements in my first submission to an automotive mailing list (see first
included message). With the "Premium" stereo in my '98 Jetta (build 2/98), I
have the following:

Top of dash - working (I can only find 1 pair of dash speakers)
Front doors - working
Rear door tweeters - no sound
Rear deck main - working
Rear deck tweeters - exist and are wired, unknown if any sound is coming
out.

Still, the quality and radio reception is not what I was hoping for, so
we'll see what I can get out of the dealer on it.

'98 Porcelain Blue - the first car I've had which attracted
attention/inspection in a parking lot

BTW, It helps if you are responding to a message to include the part of the
message you are responding to, otherwise people may have no idea what you're
talking about.
