The best speaker cables yet...............? 200 1980

Hiding? Yup. Wife banished the computer to the lonesome basement. I think fair play would have the TV receive the same treatment.

I see you've found some modern physics to improve speaker cables-- I'd like to trade you a copper on mylar cell phone antenna booster for the license to manufacture.

But back to the topic... I was installing a keyless entry for one of my daughters last weekend. I used to grab the blue/yellow wires for the power locks where they rise to the front console under the carpet on the left side of the transmission tunnel, but they were not there on her 91. Determined to see where they moved to, I removed the driver's seat and traced the loom as it went straight across from left rear door to the right doors over the parking brake bracket. The wires came back to the relays under the glove box.

Oh, yeah, I said back to the topic. Well, with the seat and e-brake cover out I figured I could easily change those lamps in the seat belt latches. While doing so, you see clearly how the contacts make to operate the seat belt warning lamp timer and chime-- not your mil-spec kinda switching in a place prone to drink spills and dirt. It is touch and go just trying to keep good lamps lit in their sockets.

So, anyhow, I don't know if I'd want MY radio dependent on these "safety" circuits, although I don't recall any trouble with the seat belt warning devices...but who would know? I always hook up first to avoid hearing the bell, and someone who doesn't...wear them...wouldn't miss it.
