Well…yep, no politics today but I did want to talk about some problems with the car…not really the car but I had a door speaker fail this morning…making a loud scratching\/crackling sound that was just damn annoying…I was going to just leave it until spring but, you know me, when something happens, I have to deal with it or it will be all I can think about…so, when I got back from the bike ride, I thought I’d pull the corner of the door card and take a look to see if it could be fixed…no luck but I did get the old speaker out…it wasn’t even screwed in so it must have been a replacement…and it had a weird 4 wire hookup that I think split the tweeter and normal speaker input that I have never seen before…so, I taped them off and put the card back in place, fully intending to leave it til spring…but, I’m bored so of course I went out on amazon to look for new speakers and found a pair for only 16 bucks and with free shipping…they are made by a company called Pyle that I guess is well known for their inexpensive stuff…they are 3 way speakers and I really don’t care what they sound like…with the top down you can’t hear them much and with the top up, you can barely hear them the car is so loud without any sound deadening…and they can’t be worse than the ones that were in there….the cones are even waterproof so they won’t rot even if they get wet in the door…so 10 days and that will be fixed….I do have to get some push on connectors, though, since the ones in the door were changed to a screw on type and most of the new speakers have push on blade type connectors…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
