Re: Big Red
Got my audio issues sorted this week...
Pulled the door panels, and this is what i found Clearly the stock speakers were long due for replacement. The JBL's i had fit perfectly, but the front drivers side had a short, so i ran a new wire rather than trying to track it down... I got an amazon gift card from work, so i picked up a set of infinity's for the rear, and a small amp, to power the sub in the console. someday i'll get around to this. on another subject, i passed 300 miles yesterday. It runs and drives pretty well, seems very happy cruising along at 70. I was curious about MPG, so i topped off the tank, and it looks like 16.8 (city/hwy mix). about what i expected Topped off the tank

Re: Big Red
I often drive long stretches without the radio on. But when I want to listen to music, a good sound system is key. Not necessarily elaborate, but good speakers especially. Those look like they don't have anything left attaching the cone to the housing. Wow. Putting it together with parts that you mostly have on hand is even better.

doesn't need to be competition level, but good enough that it's not distracting (harsh or distorted). Quote:
I have lots of parts on hand, mostly from previous vehicles, but many that were too good of a deal to pass up (if i knew it would be useful in the future). I try not to think about just how much money is sitting in boxes, or gathering dust. anyone need a new starter for an '84 RX7, or a bumper for an Opel GT? Maybe a center console for late 90's chev (one in gray and one in tan)
