yeah bro, the broquest and the brosx chillin with our bro off valves

I could take them back...haha I want to meet the bro that drives it, see if he even knows where the wheels come from.

starquest rims! look like 16x8's but can't remember how to differentiate? I was quite surprised... http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/10259/starquest_wheels.JPG

I've been trying to figure out how to unlock it as well... my friend thinks you have to buy it at the used car dealership haha

yo dude, sorry to hear about the hard times...unfortunately i wasn't able to make it out to pigeon forge either. if you need any help workin on your cars let me know -Tim

lol me too

yeah, just take the fuel rail off (on top of injectors) and you can get the injectors out and replace the o-rings as well as the rings that seal between the injector and throttle body

best of luck man

happy birthday Bill!

this might help: http://speed147.com/conquest/88stereo.png

what remote started did you get? i've been looking to get one myself

is that vine lookin thing growing out of the trunk? lol

if anyone has to bail or there are any extras i have payment ready and would like a set, thanks!

same here, sucks

I planned on taking the amplified signal from the stock head unit and just amplifying it again with a separate amp. I know it won't be as clean as a line level output but it shouldn't mess up the sound too much. and yes, convert to RCA outs. i think life is just gonna be easier getting a new head unit, and running new wires...the carpet is already out of the car, we just layed some dynamat and yeah, I saw pics of your setup while i was searching around...straight ridiculous lol

Don't I need to know the resistance as to not blow the stock head unit's internal amplifier out? Yeah we realized the ETACS was needed when the front left side wasn't working, interesting design. OK, i measured the resistance at the rear speakers and got 7.3 ohms for each...which is why im confused because they say 4 ohms on them. But ok so what you're saying is that rear system runs on 4 ohms, and the front 8 ohms which makes sense based on the specs that are on the speakers...isnt a stereo system typically supposed to have the same resistance all the way around? and the reason i measured at the head was because i wanted to see what the head unit is seeing...so i can duplicate that with new speakers so as to keep the head unit safe from damage. or does that not really matter? Thanks, Tim

so my dad and i are debating whether or not to upgrade our 84 conquest's sound system with 6 new speakers (yes, including the dash speakers surprisingly), an external amp, all while using the STOCK head unit. So i'm trying to figure out what impedance the stock system is running at, I've heard 8 ohms and 4 ohms... Scouting around the forums and service manual I've come across somewhat conflicting information and im slightly confused. The 84 service manual says the dash speakers and door speakers are wired in SERIES...whereas the 88 service manual says they are in PARALLEL...okay. i believe the speakers that are in this car are stock although i am not sure if they are stock for this car...(could be 88 speakers or something dumb like that, but the speakers are stock conquest...this is something that could be the problem). Looking on the back of the rear speakers and the speaker in the dash (near glove box...assuming other speaker near cluster is the same) all say 4 ohm impedance. So i put a ohmmeter up to the rear speakers and i get 7.3 ohms, why isnt it 4? Next i checked the resistances of the speakers right before they entered the head unit...the rears both were 7.3 ohms, which is expected since they go straight to the head unit. The FR+ and FR- pins, as well as FL- and FL+ pins had an impedance of 12 ohms...which means, since in series, one speaker is probably 4 ohms and the other probably 8 ohms. To my knowledge the impedance of the system all-around should be the same, either 4 or 8...not expecting 12. i used this http://starquest.i-x.net/viewtopic.php?t=1109 and the manual to find the correct pins to measure any advice, anything else i need to check?

bought a radio harness connector, just charged shipping...and shipped it quick, thanks!

Great pics, awesome job!

awesome. you have a pm

I'm looking for the harness connector to a flatbody radio, the one that has the big buttons. For clarification the piece that completes the harness below: I will try and get a picture of the back of the radio to make sure its the right one...the other model radio's have a different connector. thanks! http://speed147.com/conquest/stereoharness.jpg

that's just the end of his adventure...if you watch the whole thing from the beginning i'd say he deserves it. If someone tried to run over one of my fellow police officers and civilians i'd be pretty pissed too. ...but then again it is their job to be rational at all times on/off duty hence why they all got fired

oh no your ABS!!!

if you ever find yourself up near raleigh/durham/cary, shoot me or strickdawg a PM always fun to see new starquests
