Since getting the Outback ^{2}, I jumped at the chance to do this right. That is to say, get a better sound quality input into her car’s factory stereo.

My apartment complex is a “gated community”, meaning they have large iron gates that give the impression of security, thereby allowing them to charge more rent. Along with a key, each tenant receives a remote control to open said gate as well as the garage door to the apartment.
