I just got in from working on the truck stereo. The old Nak front end gave up the ghost a couple weeks ago. First the disc mechanism jammed up and ruined a Talking Heads cd, then the volume pot started getting all scatchy. I had just opened it up and cleaned the volume pot, got that straight......and the FM section started getting all screwy..........Done. I am done pissing about with you......
Replaced it with a low-on-the-line Alpine that was on sale for $90. Installed the Alpine and cleaned all of the connections on the amp.
Once it was all together; I loaded up Alan Parsons Project--Turn of a Friendly Card and went for a drive.
WOW!!!!! Strong, punchy sound. The Nak was nice, the Alpine is awesome! I had forgotten how good those Focal speakers sound! Daddy like! Not bad at all for $90.
For once, I didn't mind burning up the $4 a gallon gas at 15 MPG.......temporarily.
There is still a little intermittance......bad connection somewhere, so it goes back into surgery tomorrow morning. Think I'll pull the door panels and clean up/ tighten the speaker connections....
In the morning.
Dave
