Where are you planning on getting the low frequency signal from?
Let us know how the hook-up goes.

porsche930dude 08-04-2023 04:05 PM

It just takes the 2 regular rca inputs from the head unit. There is also high level jacks on it if there are no rca jacks they can run off the speaker outputs but they are not needed.

Asking because I have a new 'Kicker' self-powered sub that I want to hook up to my 22 Civic.
Planning on grabbing the signal from the 8" sub on the rear deck. Not sure if that will work on mine.

The back of the 12" display looks to be unobtainable.

What is powering the 8" sub? Probably has a small amp that you can get wire to.

stevej37 08-04-2023 04:55 PM

^^^ The head unit is sealed on the dash...It's not looking good to tap into that.
There is a 8" sub speaker on the rear deck that I'm planning on splicing into...hoping that works.

I will try that.

porsche930dude 08-04-2023 06:22 PM

The head unit cant power an 8" sub and all the speakers. Atleast im not aware of any that can. There must be a small amp stashed somewhere.

On the way to my south beach accounts this afternoon I spot some stuff by the road.

A vacuum cleaner and twin flour. light fixture I did not take along with some frying pans (not cast iron).

But did grab these nice strainers, juicer, a Sears and Roebuck 9" aluminum pot with matching lid, and vintage Regina floor buffer - that works! Will need cleaning up and new brushes, natch.

Got this machinists toolbox at a local estate sale for $50. It's in pristine condition considering it's from the 70s.

Crazy Iv never seen these before and found two recently. One yesterday! The first one is a kirby its pink. The one i got yesterday is a GE and it came with all the accessories. 2 sets of scrubbers, 2 sets of flat pads and a liquid waxer kit. I guess im a collector now lol Also picked up snowblower, some bed frames and a dog cage. All this coming home from the local cruise in with my FC Jeep and a motorcycle in the back so I crammed it all in there. Very usefull having a pickup truck it turns out.

Well done and congrats on your scores! SmileWavy

Years ago, I used to have a bunch of Irwin quick clamps. I got most of them on various sales. Now when I go to one of the big box stores, the prices seem insane. I also had some of the really good Jorgensen parallel jaw clamps (3' and 4' sizes) that seemed reasonably priced when I bought them. WHen I downsized, I got rid of all of that stuff. Now I need some.

I was in HD the other day and looking at the Dewalts which are what they replaced the Irwins with. The prices seem pretty crazy to me. I was looking around and found a set in the very back, but couldn't find a price tag for that set anywhere on a shelf. I checked online and the price seemed pretty good, so I decided to get them. Apparently, it's an old set that they no longer sell, because instead of paying $34.88 they rang up as $14.
It was a set like this.

My neighbor is cleaning house and has a dumpster out she sets the metal aside for us and we pick anything else we like out. So we already got a couple truck loads of stuff. The best thing sofar is the snowblower and the washing mashine is intresting too. Also got an Ipod and a perfectly good poulan wild thing chainsaw. It was mostly scrap metal but we grabbed alot of stuff just for the local church they are having a free sale in a few weeks so really just saving good stuff from the dumpster. I should have got a pic of the loaded truck. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1691795008.JPG

When we moved my parents out of their ranch, I sold an old washer for them. They were going to toss it into the dumpster since it was there when they moved in. I knew someone would use it for something similar to the one we found in a trash heap used for the ranch since the late 1800’s. Our washer has been a water fountain for twenty plus years.

Anyway, the guy that bought the old washer paid $80 for it and this is what he turned it into…https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...61d60c9372.jpg

I thought it was a cool way to repurpose an old washer.

Today, I picked up a new, still in the box MQ Multiquip Mikasa vibraplate. Getting tired of renting one for our big block project. Have many uses on the property and might start a side hustle by renting it out on weekends.

Listed on FB marketplace for $1800.00, offered $1400.00 and sold for $1500.00. This one sells for $2690.00 so I felt it was decent deal for a never used piece of equipment.

Took it out of the box and off of the wooden pallet for ease of transport. I will be ordering a water tank for it some time in the future. Ok, I couldn’t help myself and had WhiteCap order the OEM water tank…[emoji849] I have issues…https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5747c49caf.jpg
