Subject: RE:The First C4 Guru Project Car by bogus on 2007/9/10 2:59:53 Now for some updates! Yesterday, CentralCoaster came over and we worked on wiring. I worked on the interior, and he worked under the hood. We spent the afternoon IDing harnesses and wires. One of the things I wanted to do was get rid of unnecessary wiring. Thanks to the factory theft system, it won't be very hard to install an aftermarket unit! Everything is right there! I also removed the entire front Bose system - both enclosures and all the harnessing to them! More wire out of the way. Get this - at some point, some moron decided to replace the speakers in the Bose enclosures. With Infinity Kappas!!!!! A bit of trivia - the Bose amps are very small, about the size of a pack of smokes. They run at a 1 ohm impedance. This means the speaker must only be 1 ohm. The amps can put out 50 watts because of their size... but put a 4 ohm speaker on there, and you get 12.5 watts! And a ton of distortion. Besides, the speakers surrounds were TOAST. All of that is out. Thank God. I have to remove the right side ground for the Bose front harness, but that's it. Removing the harness was only made possible by the fact that I removed the entire dash board. This is not a project for the feint of heart. |
