Since you will have to remove the center console to replace the radio and
then either replace the bracket or dremmel the old one to get the new radio
in you may as well replace all four speakers, and wiring, at the same time.
Your speakers are over twenty years old and probably have dry rot. I found
my rear speaker wiring was just a twisted splice (no solder) under the
console. The second reason is that new radios have individual grounds on
each speaker, not the common ground in the original DeLorean. Make sure you
buy a new radio connector harness from special- t-auto before you
disassemble the radio, its worth it.

> I have a question to all of you owners that have had after market car
steroes installed. My DeLorean has the original DMC stereo still in and it
is starting to go to pot. My question is that when any other stereo was
installed, was there any re-wiring that was re-done to the car and/or the
having of new speakers installled in association with the new stereo. I am
not looking for a custom sound system; just one that has an operational
radio and cassette deck.
