How do you remove the distributor in a 1981 Chevy Monte Carlo with a 267ci?
loosen the 9/16 bolt on the hold down bracket, unhook the plugs from the distributor cap, remove the vaccum advance hose take off the plug wires and cap. pull distributor straight up and out.( the rotor will twist on its way out)
Why is it when you turn your wiper's your radio dies and the lights go dim?
Charge your battery!
It also sounds like you might have an alternator problem.
What is the difference between pre-terminated wiring and non-terminated wiring?
Pre terminated wires may mean one of a couple things. At least to my knowledge.
Generally a pre terminated wire is a wire in use or that is connected thru in an operating device of some sort. The wiring in the state it came from the "assembly plant.'
Non-terminated wiring generally refers to wiring that is not in use or not connected yet.
"Terminated wires" are "connected wires."
Pre-terminated could also refer to some wiring that already has the "connectors" placed on the wire. Not just a bare wire w/o connectors.
Non-terminated could mean a piece of wire without "connectors" on it.
How do you gain access to the rear speakers in an Alero in order to swap them out?
pop the speaker grilles upwards in the front and slide them towards you. then there are four plastic clips in the corners of the speaker that can be gently pryed back and it will come out. dont forget to unhook all four wiring clips underneath by lying in the trunk.
How do you wire a speaker volume control?
This is strictly dependent of the type of control being used. If you just have a potentiometer (variable rotary resistor) then connect ONE wire from the source to the middle (wiper) terminal on the Pot. then from either other terminal on the Pot. continue the circuit to the speaker.
This just limits the amount of signal going to one speaker. THIS IS ONLY APPLICABLE WHEN ONE SPEAKER IS USED. If you could direct me to the instructions that came with your controller, I could help you out.
See my Bio.
If you purchased this from a Radio Shack, or similar electronics supplier, tell me the part, model number and I look it up for you.
ABOVE ANSWER IS TOO SIMPLISTIC....
Speaker volume control, done properly, is not a matter of just adding resistance (or variable resistance) to the line. Properly done, the amplifier's output impedence must be matched to maintain proper loading and avoid premature burnout and distortion.
Dynamic speaker connections (2, 4, 8 ohm, for example) can have a volume control added by using a potentionmeter (variable resistor) with decent results and without doing damage or getting too much distortion. For most applications this is okay.
What you need for a simple resistance control:
A 2-gang potentiometer of about 15 to 25 ohms rating. Here's more than you'll ever need to know: http://beavishifi.com/articles/Volume_Control/index.htm
THE RIGHT WAY:
The right way to do this is to use an 'impedence matching' control. These controls allow you to put on strings of speakers yet maintain a constant impedence to the amplifier output (up to the power limit of the amp, of course).
Here, now, is what you need: http://www.audioc.com/accessories1/misc/vcontrol.htm
ANOTHER WAY:
There is another way to do all this.. that is if you have pro-grade amps. You can use what is called 70volt lines. 70volt amp outputs allow you to string many speakers down the line (each with its own step down transformer, not hard to wire or figure out). If this is of interest then you may want to Google it and go from there.
HOPE THIS HELPS.. Caio!
How does turning up a stereo increase the volume of the sound that is heard?
speakers vibrate farther

Can you wire a 6 speaker car stereo into a 4 channel amplifier?
Yes but you will have to combine four of your speakers into 2 channels. 2 fronts and 4 rears, or 4 fronts and 2 rears.
There's always the option of a 6 channel amp, but be cautious because your head unit may not have 6 preouts, so you will be doing the same as what i previously stated.
What is the wiring color code for delco radio model 16189885?

Additional speaker wires may include Purple and Purple/Black for the right front speaker, and Green and Green/Black for the left front speaker. Always refer to the specific wiring diagram for your vehicle, as configurations can vary.
Will you blow your stock speakers if you hook them up to an amp?
i couldn't find where to put more info so i did in an answer lol but before i get spammed with its stupid cause a new head unit will add enough power so you don't need it. I have a good head unit the reason i want to is because i have an equilizer that only has RC hook ups in the back and i need an amp to do that.. so if i hook them up to the amp so i can essentually hook them to my equilizer will it blow my stock speakers. i think it is like a 180 or 250 watt amp. can i turn the gain down? will i have to be gentle on the volume(don't really wanna do that) please help me
How do you change speakers in the door of a 2001Chevy Blazer?
pull out the outer edges of the door panel. then take out the screw behind the door handle. there are 2 screws under the armrest you need to take out. after all that is done pll door panel towards you and lift up. then take out the four screws around the speaker and put it all back together doin all this in reverse.
You would need to know the weakest point in the power distribution and you'd need to know the peak and nominal current draw in Amperes. If it's a device that uses a surge of current at startup but only a fraction of that during normal operation, you would need a "slow-blow" fuse. If the current draw is consistent you would need a conventional fuse. Still have no idea what the "head unit" is that you're trying to fuse.
How much would it cost to install a system with all the parts given at a car audio shop?
Well I know at Circuit City they charge about $70.00 which isn't bad at all. But u have to have all the necessary parts. Believe me they really know what theyre doing but like I know at best Buy they make u buy theyre stuff and then charge like $100. That's how much they charged my friend just for installation.
Jvc kd-g200 CD does not eject?
I found the answer, so I will share for others:
For a JVC KD-G200 car stereo / CD
See if "No Eject" is set. Press the CD button and the CD Eject button at the same time for more than 2 seconds. "NO EJECT" or "EJECT" will flash, obviously you want eject. (JVC pg 16)
This did not work for me; I had to reset the system. Press and hold for more than 2 seconds the select and power button. The system powered down and the CD came out. Of course, all of the radio presets went away. (JVC pg 2)

Where can you get a wiring diagram for a 1989-1993 Mazda 323 hatch back 1300cc?
The Mazda 323 of that time from had a 1600cc engine but that isn't going to effect the issue of where to get a wiring diagram. Haynes makes a manual for the 1990-1994 Mazda 323. If you have a 1986-1989 Mazda 323, you will need to get a FSM (Factory Service Manual).
How do you hook up an amp without outputs?
If you're meaning how to hook up an amplifier that uses RCA connectors and all you have is speaker wire, then what you need is a RCA High/Low Line Converter. Its a small box with 2 wire connectors and 2 rca connectors. They're very cheap, there are several on eBay for about $10 or about $20 in a local store. At the back of the CD player, just splice into the wiring harness and connect to your rear left and rear right speakers.
