I am trying to figure out how to rewire the harness that will go from a non-MIL radio (CB or Scanner) to a LS-671/VRC Speaker. I have standard CB civvy speakers; but I wanted to use the 671. I have looked over the schematics and it looks like the MIL Cable I have can be utilized by cutting off...
Lay the insulation down and be sure of fitment before you attempt to spray the adhesive on. Mark the corners and sides with a marker to help guide the final lay-in. Use a thin (bamboo) skewer to mark each "hole" as you go. Leave the skewer in each hole until all are accounted for. The adhesive...
Instead of Sea Foam, I use the Diesel Purge- NAPA to clean the deposits out of the top end/intake.

ke6rwj,
Thanks for the help. I'll go ahead and doctor up a cable to fit the other end of the CX-13292/VRC cable (I'd like the speaker to have an authentic look even though it terminates to only a VHF scanner).
Can you verify what I can use for the +12volt/-12volt inputs. I was going to just...
ke6rwj,
I followed the link you provided. Basically it is this:
[CODE]Properly interfacing this speaker into 12volt radio, will require the use of an isolation circuit to prevent the 24volt system from harming the 12volt radios. example interfaces can be seen in integrating with other...
I have threads and threads regarding these. For the money, I could not resist. I bought one off the bay from Caltric. It is a chinese middleman from LA area. When I told them the solenoid was likely bad, they said to simply return it on a 1 year warranty. I asked if we could avoid all the heavy...
mudman, can you elaborate on what it was that you found please. I have had my steering wheel out for a new key cylinder and would like to know what I hay have done to cause probs.
I posted the same inquiry a few months back. Last week I had the cluster out to switch the RED leds back to white. I noticed that the big wiring harness that energizes the cluster had a very short lead and that it had to be pivoted into the cluster connector bottom first. (reverse of how I...
etvchicago, I, like many here, have had starter problems with my Blazer. If you review my threads (many :-(), you'll see that I have asked the same questions you are asking. I have bought ebay Chinese starters, found my original (to me) starter was a 12volt Direct Drive, switched it out for a...
I was out that way this weekend, just got back from a drive to the John Day Fossil Beds. Spotted "my car". A Blazer with two rooftop antenna mounts. I was moving too fast to get a pic. I stopped at the Grocery there; but the folks, though friendly, didn't look like the type to entertain...
4x10 speakers in Ammo Boxes. Holes drilled (1/8") in an oval pattern to create a speaker grille. Self tappers to hold the speaker to the front of the can. Hole drilled in the bottoms to allow speaker cable out. The cans sit behind the front seats on the rear seat platform at either end. The...
I don't really give a flying fig what they think. There are always those that come out and let you know what they are thinking. I don't speed through my neighborhood. I have many very wealthy neighbors that have politically correct wheels. Some have top drawer rides and only see mine when they...
chief1983, that is a cool note and an awesome way to introduce yourself. Now they won't be going: "... you know, that 'Army Guy' next door... what the h=!! is that about?" [thumbzup]
After installing a Clarion Shaft-style AM/FM/Cassette in the radio slot- removed an old style RCA, I have been bust getting a new alpine DIN style AM/FM/Cassette ready to swap in. I had problems with the belts on the Clarion, so I went with a worm driven Alpine.
I have not installed a DIN style...
Just finished doctoring my tired Cluster Circuit "board". Ran down to Radio Shack and bought a Conductive Pen to trace all the circuit traces that were broken or questionable.
Pulled the lamp holders and bent the ears out to give them better purchase in the holes. The bulb clamps in each socket...
