Subject:Re: Definitive on the 87 not using a common ground for rear speakers

Hmmmm .... I wonder if some of the newer Vanagons had a shared ground to
the rear speakers because they were shipped from the factory without a
sound system and the dealer installed a system the "old" way?

Anyway, the newer vans are "supposed" to be wired the modern way.
