Subject:      How do you hook up a stereo in a Vanagon?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

the po had removed the radio from my '86 Syncro and left a
nest of taped up wires. I have unraveled this mess and would
now like to hook up a new stereo.

I have a four speaker stereo and there are four stock speakers
in the van. My problem is that there are only three wires
running to the rear speakers and I have four wires comming
out of my stereo.

The guess I made at hooking them up sounds horrible. As I turn
up the volume distortion becomes horrible (and I think the
amp starts to heat up).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
