This is not original as far as I know:
+12V permanent should be purple,
+12V after ignition is supposed to be Light green w/ White stripe

This lack of bass is also a result of the lack off insulation behind the
speakers and the fact that they are not enclosed properly, but sit in open air.
Especially Bass is very sensitive to this. If you don't want to loose too much
space on the parcel shelf I'd put the speakers in the rear wall. I did so on
mine after a tip from DMC Joe I read several months ago when the radio thread
came up again. I believe he used to be an audio-engineer or something similar,
so he should know what he's talking about!

Good luck with your system, post some pictures somewhere?!?
