Default Help installing new stereo

Hi, I have wired up a sub and an amp. I have gone to install my new Alpine stereo and the Harness doesnt fit. On the speaker covers it doesnt say the speakers are Bose, but are they? Its a 2002 3.0 A6. Which Harness do I use?

I had to go and buy a new special harness from best buy in order to install mine in.

Just tell the guys that you have an audi they will tell you exactly which harness you need. I don't think there is a specific name for it.

u couldnt pay me enough to take that stereo out again with what it took to get it in lol. i know it was one big black one that took 2 clips, and another red one that took just one, and that had the amp outs.
