The CD player got stolen last night. I’ll be putting the old Sony tape player back in IF I can fix the wiring mess that the thieves made. Several wires got broken, and I’m not 100% sure where they all go. Fuck Boston.

cd
Got a set of Pioneer 5-1/4″ two-way speakers for the front, they sound better than the old POS that was in there. And I replaced the Sony tape player with a Pioneer DEH-1500 CD player. It was pretty cheap, and the install went without a hitch. There’s one wire coming in from the car that didn’t get hooked up, I’m not sure what it’s for, but I think it would control the dimmer on the unit when the headlights were on, but apparently the unit doesn’t have that feature. It works well, and looks good. I miss the analog volume knob on the Sony deck though. Now I can listen to my CDs when the radio isn’t treating me well. The coolant level still needs to be topped off every month or so, but that’s a manageable leak, and it doesn’t seem to be accelerating. I noticed a little leak around the windshield on one rainy day, but it hasn’t happened since then. There is a tiny tear in the weatherstripping on the outside of the windshield. Not much else to report. I’m racking up about 40 miles a day with my new job though. And I confirm the low fuel indicator works. It comes on when there are about 2 gallons left.

rear speakers
Installed rear speakers. Pioneer 6-1/2″ two-way speakers. Just some cheap ones from Best Buy. The install was pretty straight forward. I had to drill about three sets of holes on the left side until I got them in the right spot, and I cut the fabric on the rear deck a little too much, but it still looks and works good.
