this might be a bigger project than i thought....
i decided it was time to pull the install apart to remove all the "extras" (projects gone awry, things i've removed or upgraded, etc.) - since the inside of my jottodesk console was a total mess....
so far, it's pulled apart (sorry for the fuzzy pic - this is the second pic i've taken with the new phone)... I think i should have started this project earlier... and I have a sneaking suspicion that this will be a multi evening project.... __________________ Quote:

Wow, that's quite a mess! So, what was the before, and what is going to be the after?

well, the vehicle portion of the console is almost put back together - i only have 4 screws left - the 4 that go in the bottom of the console tub...they aren't lining up right...
you want something to make your truck feel different, pull the console and drive around for a couple days... then put it back in. it feels like a whole new truck. now.... with any luck, i'll get those 4 screws in, and the passenger seat back in... then it's only a matter of dropping equipment in and making one or two short powerpole jumpers, and i'm done

pics to follow after this weekend, i hope -
seat in console together faceplates figured out, but not secured yet still need to make some power jumpers - one of my cables is about 3" too short to connect the switched source to the load even added a bracket for my phone, but i am missing about half of it. __________________ Quote:

no pics yet...
the D700 control head is now above the rearview mirror the cosole is equipped... but now my speaker situation needs help. I need 3 speakers, all with different characteristics. 2 of them need to hav e some punch - the scanner and D700. 1 needs to have some punch, but also needs to have decent frequency response (the HF rig). Trying to figure out if there's a way to get a motorola speaker or 2 in the truck.... __________________ Quote:
