The stereo was an impulse buy because it was in a 86 SEL that hadn't been touched yet, and my 300CD has a stupid "talking" stereo that's driving me nuts. That and whoever wired it into the car either didn't connect the antenna, or the antenna is broken, and apparently wired the radio to an always hot wire, so it won't turn off when I shut the car off. The front speakers are torn and make the worst possible sounds and the rears are likely in the same shape. No plans for any thump in the trunk yet...but I happen to have 2 10's in a bandpass box collecting dust.
