I am sure he will see your email and contact you.  He told me that he removes 

the lowpass filter from the rear speakers which allows them to play lower 

frequencies, thus sounding fuller and better.  (Right?...).  A lot of people 

say it sounds good, but I am wondering if those little headrest speakers don't 

pop from too much bass when the volume goes up.

contact Jeff, & what exactly does he do to the radio?
