electrical polarity

Uh Kim

If you want to know about installng relays to remove the load on the ignition switch on the Capri column installed in our cars, you've come to the right forum.

But otherwise....????

Kim, a call to Altec Lansing, or to an Altec Lansing retailer, like the folks you purchased the speaker system from, should clear that up. Its one of those little black power supplies you plug into the wall outlet that has a cord with a mini banana plug on it's end. It shouldn't be hard to find, but I can't tell you over the internet which one.

Are you aware this is a bulletin board for deTomaso Automobile enthusiasts? We don't get many questions about computer problems here. Don't be embarrassed though, always glad to try to help when we can.

Your friend on the DTBB, George

I'll jump in here with my infinate wisdom.... take your speaker to radio shack anf they can supply you with the correct adapter. Boy that was easy.. next question please

Does anyone know if I start my car, don't turn on the radio but I use a meat thermometer to read my coolat temperature, if I should turn left or right at the next intersection? Anybody?

Doug, Doug, Doug. He, he, he, he ...

go straight until the coolant is medium well.

George

I still don't get the E-mu meat thing Doug. I'm guessing that has to do with the meat thermometer too.

You should be able to find the plug your looking for at the electronic's store. You'll be looking for a 120vac(wall plug) tranformer to the 15vdc plug. On round (EIAJ type 12345)plugs the center is positive. There are many type's and size's of plugs, take the speaker with you. If you dont find a 15 volt output,,, 12 to 18 volts output should work too. Here are some links to ac/dc stuff.

Doug,

I'm not sure about that. I believe you need to use a candy, not a meat, thermometer. I do know that although two wrongs don't make a right, three lefts do.

Larry

Well, I jumped up, turned around, spit in the air, fell on the ground
Asked him which was the way back home
He said take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, and then, boy, you're on your own.

the Boss, (Springsteen not Jack D.)

I wonder if Kim is still around to ready all this witty banter?

You mean like a Candy GTS?

Yea, that's what I meant. Yea, that's the ticket.

Just make sure you get the REAL Candy car, not that imitation one...
