Subject: Re: SAAB Audio upgrades


Anyone can make a 5000 dollar stereo sound great, the challenge is to make a 800 dollar stereo sound great. With some careful choices and if you are willing to do the installation yourself, it is definitely achievable. The wonderful thing about Saabs is that the are tight cars and do not rattle or introduce allot of trim molding vibrations when you crank up the volume.
