That’s the BETTER carpet of the two!
Since you already have a pressure washer, blast that carpet when you start mix-matching the interiors.

I'm a fan of J-B Weld Plastic Bonder
Sound quality in the turd is…. Lacking.
It has pioneer speakers in the doors, but they’re still fed through the factory amp. I plan on doing the bypass to get a better range through the door speakers.
As for right now though- I’m getting no action out of my tattered sub in the rear. Should it at least be trying to move? I get sound from the tweeter on that side (but not the opposite side).
And then there’s this
I found that connected into the orange wire coming from the factory amp, here
Any idea what this horse crap is?
Where would the factory sub likely be bypassed, if someone had used a separate sub and bypassed the factory one?

Probably a power filter would be my guess.

Is that the same as a noise suppressor?

Yep
Turns out the reason I had no sound from the rear sub is because it was crap.
I reinstalled the power filter thing, and installed my new sub, which is the MB Quart Discus ds1-204.
I now have bass!! Sounds much better, but I’m still going to do the crossover bypass for the door speakers when my parts come in tomorrow.
I caught hell trying to remount the jack and equipment back in the rear panel (they were just all laying in there, rattling about!). Found out I’m missing the stinking hook and knob to hold the wheel chocks to the Jack! That’s ok, I can fab that up. Another day, though.
You ever taken apart a mirror control switch? Here’s what it looks like
Normally the traces on the circuit boards are the thin foil lines, but on this one it looked like the thin lines were the gaps between the conductors. I sprayed it with contact cleaner and gently scrubbed away tiny bits of unknown crusty substances between the conductors and between the solder joints. I also slightly bent the tiny fingers on the left/right selector switch outward so they’d make good contact. And VIOLA!! My power mirrors now work!
I wonder if it was bridging, or just crusted over with stuff, not allowing current flow when the pads made contact, or if it was just the L/R selector… The World May never know! Either way, they work now. Plus one for the ol me!
Tomorrow- road trip to pick up the parts car, using the un-tagged turd to haul it with!! Lord help me… I hope it makes it.

Hopefully it has the extra parts for the jack. I love parts cars!
Is your new sub an 8" in the original sub box? Was that sub pricey?
It was fairly cheap ($63) and yes it’s 8” and it fit the factory sub box without any modification. Well, I drilled a few holes through the box to mount it- but that’s it.
I wired the two 4 ohm coils in parallel so it matches with the 2 ohm factory specs. I think the wattage range and box requirements are within spec as well.
Yes, I’m hoping for all the obscure extra parts I need on the donor!

This weekend has been busy and terribly unproductive…
Planned on picking up the parts turd, couldn’t get my uncles trailer… I at least went and paid for it, seen it in person. It’s in better shape than the original turd! Couldn’t get it home today.
Tried to do the factory amp bypass
Once again- action taking place at the soldering station, as I use magical skills to create an electrical gizmo of epic proportions! But one of my connectors was missing TWO DÂMN wires/pins- so I can’t complete this bîotch…
FedEx is also slowing my weekend progress by parading my rock auto order around the country before hopefully bringing them to rest at my doorstep.
Also, It’s hotter than a four balled tomcat in my garage.
Maybe good luck will befall upon me tomorrow.

I have heard of those "four balled tomcats" and will raise you with a "three peckered billy goat" and a "fresh +f_u_c_K_E_D+ fox in a forest fire". BY GOD!
Today it was hotter than two rats f*ckin in a wool sock. I was sweating like a virgin reading a love letter. Felt like my nuts were sawing my legs off, and my âss cheeks done went phase to phase (electrician humor).
Stayed busier than a puppy with two peters this weekend, and accomplished a governmental amount- ie: a whilole lotta dîcking around, spent lots of money and have nothing to show for it.

I was busier than a long tailed cat in a room full of rockin' chairs organizing my tools and I found a tool I had bought thinking that I did not have it when I actually did and felt dumber than a screen door in a submarine. I worked up a sweat out in the G-A-Y-r-o-g and came in to the a/c turned down so low I was colder than a witches t*i*t in a brass bra.
I was in a hurry and turned right into the edge of the bathroom door, to go back to work and man oh man, that door edge was harder than a preacher's p--r--i--c--k at a double weddin'. Tuff day all around

I’m getting a high frequency vibration in the floorboard. I’m going to explain it as simply as I can so you guys might be able to help me figure it out.
-Imagine “the missus” left her personal massager in the car, and it’s rolling around near your feet, on.
-it’s noticeable around 20-30mph mostly. Much faster than that and the frequency is so high that it’s nearly imperceptible.
-engine rpm has no effect, nor does turning or breaking.
-it’s not constant, it’s coming and going (remember- the massager is rolling around).
-There’s no sound, vibration in the wheel or brake pedal.
I was thinking wheel bearing, but if that’s going bad wouldn’t it be more noisy?

Downshift and see if it comes and goes with throttle to load and unload the driveline to possibly rule out/in U-joints. 4WD?
I’ll give that a try on the way to work in the morning and report my findings.
You can check front wheel bearings/hubs by doing slight steering wheel turn from 10 to 2 and if you go to 2, the load is at the lf bearing/hub and same for other side when turn to 10 at left. You may also have motor mount problems. Hold foot on brake, set parking brake and have a trusted friend pop the throttle in drive and reverse to see if one side or the other, of the engine, pops up. If just rises a little, then mount is holding. You do not want to just floor it...

Sounds like a U-Joint to me. Maybe a thrust bearing in a diff or output bearing at the transfer case.
