Well, exactly 6 months after being tucked in...another taco run.
Since they're still take-out only, I enjoyed my lunch at the Dan's Ferry boat ramp.
After that I went over to my dad's shop and put in my new dash speakers. I was super cautious and nervous about cracking the dash but managed to pop the grill covers without any damage.
That white plastic tool is intended to be used to wedge against side glass and hold it in place when you're doing regulator replacement but it worked great for this. Replacement speakers were a perfect fit and I ordered up some pigtails as advised by
TURNA . Glad I did too.
The screws aren't super easy to get out but I had plenty of room for a 9/32 socket on a 1/4 drive ratchet -- No problem. Massaged the grilles back into place and life was good.
Do they sound great? No, not really. But I don't expect much from 3.5" speakers. They don't fuzz out though and I get equal volume when I set the balance to the middle. Both improvements over what I had.
I'm going to wash it now and shake out the cover. Nice weather is here and I plan to put more than 100 miles on it this year.
