I want to reinstall a system in my 930 but am not a car audio guy.
Thanks,

Greetings Will (86 coupe here...)
I rewired my entire system to include removing the fader control, new wiring throughout to include the body/doors and have never done even the most simple stereo tasks in the past.
New headunit, new amp, all new component speakers and direct (fused) wiring to the battery. Of course all new wiring from the head unit to the amp to the speakers.
Purchased all the proper gauge wiring for the power supply, new wiring for the speakers, new wiring from the headunit to amp, etc. Also, purchased a heat gun and material to properly cut and seal all the crimped/cut wires.
Had to take out the seats, and remove the back panel for easy access but in the end it was very very rewarding.
I researched the crap out of it and started mapping from the head unit to "new" power supply, and then mapped out headunit to amp, and from the amp to the speakers.
My system sounds fantastic and I was able to delete the old under gauged wiring from factory.
Hope you dive into it...it was well worth it to me. If I can do it ANYONE can!
I had some great threads, I thought saved (and contributed to) but not finding... at first it seemed impossible but once I visited a privately owned stereo shop and did some research here, in the threads, it was easier than I thought...
Not trying to hijack this thread so if you do start to query, you might want to start a new thread...a lot of people helped me.
Best of luck!
