Ok, so my last post. I was gonna type how I checked the tracking, and it looked like it had gone through federal way yesterday, so I was prolly gonna get it today. The USPS NEVER contacted me that they got my letter or anything, I was going to call today. But, as soon as I started typing my post....the doorbell rang!!! What had happened, was the guy who sent it printed my address out, then taped it on the package. But only taped it on the top and bottom......so it just ripped off when it was in kirkland (cause thats how far it got originally).
So Sean is all happy and excited for his new radio....intalls it in his car, puts a CD in....GRRRRRRIIIIINNNDDDDDDDD. Takes about 5 minutes to take the CD in....ok, maybe its just slow. Hmmm, its not playing. Wierd. Hmm it won't eject the CD. FUCK ME. But I'm a genious, and good with a screwdriver.....
Took the WHOLE thing apart, found the motor that takes the CD in and out, and discovered it was dislodged slightly, put it back in place, observed the means of illumination for future modification, put everything back together, popped it in my car.....
And everything works great!!!!! Although it probably has less wattage then my old CD player, it sounds SO much better! Has EQ on bass, mid, and treble, not just bass and treble. Much much cleared sound, and much more bass without subs then my old one, although it distorts much sooner due to the lower wattage. But I've got a 100 watt alpine I'm going to be amping my speakers with, so no problem there. It has CD, which takes in and puts out the CD a LOT faster then the old one....zzzoooom! Tape, which works just fine. FM/AM radio, 6 presets, works great. And Weather Band Radio!!!!!!!!! Constant weather broadcast 24hrs a day! A few different channels too! So that's cool! AND it matches my interior PERFECT. The silverish color is identical to the top of my dash. So I think I'm gonna be gettin some paint in a few weeks to do all my dash trim/vents, etc. Not aluminum anymore, I think that will clash with the tan. I'm gonna do like the CD player, almost a bronzish silverish grey. Mostly silverish, but barely sorta bronzish. It'll look real slick. And then I'm gonna get some matching fabric to do the side panels, instead of blue, for now. Blue would looks way too clashy with the tans. But a nice dark grey should look really slick! Tomorrow I'm going to the Car Toys tent sale, to look for an RCA adapter to hook my subs back up, and I might possible buy some better subs depending on what they have and the price.
Next up.....
MOMO Shift knob and MAF adapter should be arriving soon. Then I just gotta convince Rowen to buy my panel K&N filter, so I can buy a cone one to put on my MAF. Then the dash trim and fabric will come, but my new sub box should be done in a few days hopefully!!!!
