This is my first time on the audio forum.<br />
I want to gain access to the dash mounted speakers of a'91 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser SL wagon.<br />
Only the drivers front speaker is working.<br />
I assume the speaker trim just pops off <br />
BUT<br />
Before I damage the dash...,<br />
I am wondering if anyone out there has any guidance about the right way to get at them?<br />
The rear tailgate looks pretty straight ahead with a few screws.<br />

<br />
My 1966 Impala currently has a cassette deck installed but it is one from the 80's or 90's so it has a digital clock on it which I find distracting. My solution is to to install a circa 70's cassette deck so there will be no digital led or lcd parts.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Vintage-Kraco-Dashmaster-Cassette-Tape-Player-AM-FM-Car-Stereo-Radio-/121785288015?" title="http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Vintage-Kraco-Dashmaster-Cassette-Tape-Player-AM-FM-Car-Stereo-Radio-/121785288015?" target="_blank">http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Vintage-Kraco -Dashmast...</a><br />
<br />
Will I have any problems installing this one? It looks a little thicker so I may have to cut which is no big deal. I am talking about connection wise with the circa 70's wiring and connections. Any problems that will make this not work? <br />
<br />
Sorry, newbie here in all regards. Learning everyday. ]]></description><pubDate>Sun, 18 Oct 2015 14:23:43 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Noisy near us]]></title><link>https://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/329174/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/329174/</guid><description><![CDATA[ There are good reasons that we need cell phone, and there are also good reason that we need <a href="http://www.skybuying.com/category-177-b0.html" title="www.skybuying.com/category-177-b0.html" target="_blank">cell phone jammer</a>.

Having "replacement speakers vs. OEM speaker impedance issues? Sony got my back!<br />
<br />
I just bought a Cherry condition '02 Blazer, 4dr, 4WD, with the original OEM AM/FM/Cassette and the rear door speakers blown (or is it the head? Who cares, get it OUT of there! Cassettes????)<br />
<br />
Sony MEX-N4000BT went in without (much) of a hitch... except the weird speaker impedance of the GM / Bose systems they use! GM uses proprietary speaker system components.<br />
<br />
UN Fortunately for me, the back speakers were blown. (rear doors) I replaced them and found out they're mismatched when the unit wouldn't work right; had to put the FADE almost 70% to the back to get the two speaker systems F&R to work and play well with each other... (fronts are original "dual cone" paper cone speakers, 9.5 Ohms, new rear replacements? 4 ohms!)<br />
<br />
Sony audio being one of the best products (IMHO) on the market actually AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTED the impedance matching for me, and after resetting the Fader back to a bias of 2>rear, it's firing on all cylinders and actually sounds amazing!<br />
<br />
I should still change the fronts but this buys me some time! ]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2015 00:09:15 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[56 chevy speaker question]]></title><link>https://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/325243/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/325243/</guid><description><![CDATA[ Hi guys, what sized speaker(6x9,4x10) have you used for the single front speaker location?
