volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud
and
harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting the volume control
on
your radio to
a
safe
sound level before your hearing
adapts
to
it.

important to do it properly. Added sound
equipment may interfere with the operation of
your vehicle’s engine, Delco Electronics radio or
other systems, and even damage them. Your
vehicle’s systems may interfere with the
