I believe it changed in for the '87 model year - it is simple to check for
with a VOM between speaker grounds if you have one hand.  I had to run an
auxiliary ground for one of the speakers in my '86.

I've been putting off connecting my back speakers, as
I assumed they shared a ground.  Anybody know what
year this changed?
