Project 1

So the server had to wait as our Internet is being shit. Can't tell if it's the service or the router. Gonna reset the router tomorrow to rule out that possibility. Maybe the firmware got flubbed. It happens. Anyways, in the meantime i ordered some new speakers for my car and got them installed tonight.

The door speakers were easy. Just popped of the door panel, breaking the door latch in the process (woops!) And removing the old busted ones. Weird thing was they were polks, a not to shabby brand but they were old and cracked. Then the rears...talk about some annoying stuff. First, i was dumb and didn't recognize that 6x9s cant fit in my rear speaker wells. They used some smaller size thats weird. So...i had to get crafty.




 Had to remove the rear speaker panels, trace out the shape for the 6x9s, use the dremel to cut and spit nearly molten plastic all over the place, secure the speakers with screws and and metal setters, and finally rewire a bit to get rid of the plug chassis in the back. Not hard, just very time consuming. Im grumpy though that the rear trim doesnt allow the grills to fit but im happy with the results. Now, i dont have just the right front speaker firing! I may go back and insulate to protect from plastic buzzing but right now im happy.
