96 Cavalier, the rear speakers don't work. They are in the trunk. I Want to put new ones in. How can I diagnose if the problem is with the speakers or with wiring, first of all?
Any and all info or things to know would be very helpful, also if you could direct me to any other resources. Thank you very much! Also what speakers would you recommend, on a budgit?
Thanks yahoo!
Answer
best bet would to be buy some new connectors and some cheap speakers, and when i say connectors, i mean like the ones that connect to the speakers, and also the ones that connect to the back of the radio itself.
Might solve your problem, work case scenario there is a break in the wire, which means you would have to replace the whole wiring, and that is no easy task + really frustrating. By whole wiring, i mean from speakers to radio.
If you want real indepth, then buy a haynes manual, they cost £19.99 :-D
and for connectors go to halfords, and for cheap speakers, go to a place like i think its called maplin electronics, but i'm not sure if they are all over the u.k. Or try a car radio shop, but they like halfords, are most likely rather expensive

How do you shield electronics from massive solar flare?
casey
like the one back in the 1800's that fried telegraph lines. perhaps a larger one. how would you shield electronics or your car? Ive read that space vehicles are shielded by PVC.
Answer
PVC would not work. Look up info on what's called a Faraday cage...basically you need a fine mesh of copper screening or some other material; which conducts electricity very well and surround any electrical component(s) with that and ground the cage to earth...make sure no electical power wires extend out from this cage also. You could also simply place electrical devices like radio's small TV's, etc..inside a plastic bucket inside a metal garbage can with it's lid on for a cheap Faraday cage. For a car, you could ground the body to the ground with chains hanging from it's frame to the ground....the car's body would act like a Faraday cage and some people do this to prevent static electricity from building up. It's also a good idea in case of an EMP attack from a nuclear weapon detonated high over the US which would wipe out the electrical grid and anything connected to it or a length of wire.
