Re: What\'s in your CD (or tape deck)
I've been feeling somewhat guilty for a little bit over a month now...
...I with-held information about my latest "MJ-Mod"...
Of course my friends all find it hard to believe I spent money on a music "system", they were somewhat consoled to learn that I bought all of it at Super Walmart and Big Lots...
So...
A couple years ago at Big Lots I found paired speaker boxes with speakers, (an 8 and a 6 in each box, I think) that were rated for 200Watts (I assumed they meant
each) and I got them to stick in the Postal Jeep
The exhaust system on the MJ has been falling off and getting annoyingly loud, so I got a 10-disc 'X-Treme' CD-changer from Wal-Mart and a 300-Watt Jensen Amp, along with their 300-Watt wiring kit.
The speaker boxes fit
perfectly behind the seats, with little metal tabs that I used to mount them to the carpet-covered cardboard back there, with the Jensen mounted between them. I yanked the stock rear speakes and used their wires to control the amp. The CD changer just sits on the tranny hump between the seats for now until I build the center console to conceal it. The FM modulator is taped to the dash in that blank spot below the clock. The power wires to the AMP and CD-Changer run under the passenger-side door sill. CD-Changer's FM modulator and control panel cords run under the driver's side door-sill, up under the dash, and you can barely see the wire that comes into the bottom of the control display.
Works great, sounds decent, the total cost was under $300, and I can't hear the exhaust anymore
In the CD Changer I've got...
Verticle Horizon
Blink 182- Enema of the State
SmashMouth- Astro Lounge
SmashMouth- Fush Mang Yu
U2
Natalie Imbruglia- White Lillies Island
Jimmy Buffett- Bars
Jimmy Buffett- Boats
Jimmy Buffett- Beaches
Jimmy Buffett- Ballads
(It was a 4-disc collection set...)
When I build the consol, the CD-Changer control display will be mounted on a fold-down panel on the front of it, so there will be absolutely no part of the 'system' in view.
