+Rick Anderson Well buddy you can take it from me. They built a good product. There wasn't a thing wrong with those speakers after twenty years and as a matter of fact they are going in a 1996 gmc truck next. Quality built in the USA. Used to love seeing that on a product. You knew it was good before you actually used it. Not that way anymore :(

+wyattoneable Thanks. Oh not to worry. The crows us. We feed them all the time. Hope your doing well.

+Cary Hubbard Oh man. It sounds awesome. Thanks for watching.

You definitely want the speakers hitting out if they hit inward to hard it will damage the speakers

+mi2tn Thanks my friend. I'll drop you and email when things calm down a bit.

10-4

Totally agree. Have one for years. 👍

Thank you. Happy Easter

+frank roden They are some smart too. Nice here today but cool. Take care.

+bud moore (buckshot32000) Cool. Thanks for watching Bud.

+Paul Short As an electronics engineering student... I have to say, you need to replace the tip of that iron! Or at least get yourself some tip tinner. Nothing ruins soldering like an oxidized tip!

+Paul Short Also, the foam is to prevent dust and debris from getting in, as well as vibration.

+mark dausy Don't think so. The foam is only 1/4 wide and go around the perimeter of the speaker to mimimize vibration according to the instructions. The one your thinking about is a cloth sheet I guess.

My 1994 has the same issue. Standard 4x6 replacements are too deep. I may have to order new stock speakers instead

+Bryan Walker Poor guy. He went off before I could tell him the difference lol. Your Sergeant might have a point there too. Every day is a learning day for me. Hope all is well my friend.

Positive usually determines positive or forward motion on a speaker, moving air forward pushing the sound "outward" as the cone pistes out, old JBL pro speakers use to be negative terminal, or black opposed to red was positive. You can use a battery to touch poisitive of battery to terminals which will move the cone. Whichever terminal makes the cone move forward is the positive. Only use short taps, if you hold it on and keep it on, you can burn the voicecoil out if using s 9 volt battery. It's best to use s 1.5 volt battery holding wires to it for testing on smaller speakers

+Jim F Lol. You should see her dentures :)

Typically, the positive wire is red and the ground, or negative, is black. However, most speaker wires don't do colors. Good news is, with speakers it doesn't really matter which one you choose as your positive and which as your negative, just so long as you are consistent.

@@7863348 I've done alot of stereo systems in vehicles and they are not usually red and black unless you are using your own wire alot of house stereo are red an black but definitely not car audio. I happen to know from years of people hooking up speakers wrong will cause damage to your voice coils. So you really should make sure that positive goes to positive an negative goes to negative unless you feel like replacing blown speakers

I honestly don’t remember. I did the video on May1 2016. Since then I’ve done thousands of different repairs and mods on vehicles. I only left this video up for anyone doing their research.

Their just plastic covers with plastic tabs. Simply pull up on them. I think one end has a plastic hinge and it swings open to expose the bolt.

Ok thanks

Yep. 👍

This video was produced back in 2017. I honestly don’t remember.

Are you referring to the grill for the speaker?

@@7863348 yes

Put a blade or a butter knife under it and pull up on it. There’s clips holding them in place

+Charlie Wood If the cluster was in good shape I'd buy it from you and pay the shipping.

Let me take a look I don't know if it hard to get out I never took one out if not I will send it to you as long you pay the shipping that will be ok I never had a problem with it I was the only owner right now it is raining cats and dogs outside

+southernoverdrive09 No I haven't but I know they are a very reputable company. Up here if we order states side it kills us with taxes, shipping and brokerage fees so we avoide it as much as we can.

I see so their Canadian site still ships from the states. I didn't think about that

It still really wouldn’t have helped because it’s lost because your not hearing it directly from my speakers

+Charles Powers Good morning Charles. The sun is out here and it's a beautiful morning. Hope it's the same way on your end.

+Paul Short its awesome here myfriend

+John Gibbs Brittle :(

+John C (trucker280) Got their catalog in front of me now. Thanks

+Paul Short your welcome I hope it helps you find what you need you can pass on the word if you want. John Courtney from south Louisiana

+John C (trucker280) Thanks John. Will do. Very impressive catalog I must say. The catalog I'm looking at is from 2012 but I was on their site and it's much the same. Lots of goodies there. The shipping is killer for me.

+Paul Short I know the shipping is always the bad part but they have good oem parts. Ps you and your wife keep up the good vids

+John C (trucker280) The shipping is bad then UPS is worst. I think the last time they dropped off a package they wanted a kidney and my first born for brokerage. Thanks for your nice comments and the info.
