You're so much better off getting new seals and whatnot. Or perhaps a full inspection/rebuild. How many miles on it?
173,000 miles on the odometer. No idea if the rack is original or not. After a little drive today, still not leaking that I can see, though.
Short day at work today. Brought home some pizza for the family and then went to work on the car. I pulled the factory "premium" amp from under the dash. I found an actual pin-out for the whole stereo on a google search. Turned up on some pintrest list. But. It was highly accurate and perfectly matched my car. I tested the speaker pairs with an old d-cell battery we had laying in a drawer.
I found that it was easier to work on by pulling the harness into the driver's foot well. Rear speakers were (for now) ran to the stereo's rear output. New Skar speakers were connected to the new Skar amp resting quietly in the trunk. I trimmed the amp a little and left it on full range. Now, I just need to build a box for my sub and call it a day. But.... I honestly will probably build a cheap "square" out of some wood and let it go for a while. Later on, I'll build the formed box that I have in my brain, but I still have not decided if I want to use epoxy or polyester resin. Decisions, decisions.
Checkin out my high tech stuff in my low tech car.
On a side note, I did confirm that the ABS works. Lady in a big crew cab long bed 1 ton truck hauling a trailer that looked to be around 20-25 feet was turning onto my road at a cut-back intersection. It's a tight one. There's also a dirt road within 30ft of the main intersection, so there's dirt and gravel on the asphalt... no hate to the lady in the truck. I just braked hard to make sure she had room to get off the main road. In the time I've had the car, I haven't pushed it hard. I took it to a back road and ran a "torque test". Pretty decent little burn-down with little rear effort.
