moosens Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I don't know what the hell is going on here and have not read a single post here but just wanted to jump in with a quick story about the Alliance. BTW , from quick glance looks like you guys are having fun here. Love the rust ! So .... I'm parting out this '79 4WD wagon here recenty. Certainly going to be the last one around here along the shore. Only reason the car is still here is because the prev. owner is an engineer where I work and is a real hustler and general DIY guy. He's spend the time finding the parts at yards ,internet , etc. and even found a source with the Alliance !! That's right, I have a package from some town in WI that starts with W ...Wau ...something.... from "The Subaru Alliance". So yuze feeekin guyz helped string that old wagon along untill it found me !!! Right on Mo Fo's !!! You guys took care of me in the long run. Thanks! and happy motoring ! Cheers!

TheLoyale Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Probably brown window cranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 He had a few other Subarus but the one I was there for was a '79 wagon. You might be right though. I think he mentioned a Loyale wagon. I could see where he'd be a roll down window DL guy like me. His gig was he'd go to the yards and make them GL's for cheap. Great guy that I was lucky to cross paths with.

xbeerd Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 like from newer soobs? they'd fit in.. all the way! the hole in the wheel is huge, like 4" or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 like from newer soobs? they'd fit in.. all the way! the hole in the wheel is huge, like 4" or so. No, like the ones I have from an EA82 or the EA81 style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoyale Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 oh. that i dunno, i just had the sweet hubcaps. I should have brought mine with me today and see if it will pop onto the hole. If you still had your stock steelies you can try to stick a Pug cap on them and that would tell you. Scott, I wonder, you know that Static noise I have all the time with my radio? I wonder, can the head unit be causing it? Even though this was a new Pioneer in 2010, once, it froze up and got stuck on until I shut the car off, so can this thing be messed up? All the Audio in my EA82 works perfect, but then again, I ran all the wiring with fresh 14ga speaker wire in 2007 and its all Pioneer componets. Either way, it seems like the radio is picking up power somewhere from the vehicle (Even when its not running though WTF?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 how are your speaker s grounded? do you have the little noise reducer off the coil present? didi you connect the speakers to common ground, or run individual wire? you can ground the headunit through the antenna.

For the Legacy, I used the existing door wiring. This problem just start a few weeks ago, I don't get it. If the speaker is screwed to the door through metal, it should be more then grounded eh? What if I run a wire from the Headunit's housing to a body screw? Or am I missing the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Maybe I Should listen to my Dad more offen Lol, he knows everything about Audio stuff (As he's built enough systems) Guess thats just the 20 y.o thinking his old man's info is incorrect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 the speaker is going to ground thru the negative wire back to the headunit. If hte dpeakers have a body ground, you will have to jump a wire from the - terminal on the speaker to the screws thru the body. the speaker does not ground thru the mounting screws. I thought you were posting about the ea82, with a chassis ground for the speakers. I would have to see a legacy stereo schematic to tell if it shares ground with front/front, rear/rear You may bea bel to retrofit a noise capacitor from an ea82. Is it alternator whine?

TheLoyale Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Ah, I see. Maybe I'll give that a try when I get bord. Nope, its not from the Alt, it sounds like consistant "White Noise" its always in the background. I do notice that, if you hit a window switch, put the brake on, or anything else that draws power, the static fades out then builds back up. the speaker is going to ground thru the negative wire back to the headunit.

xbeerd Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) i usually get white noise when i have the volume turned up high on speakers with nothing being sent thru them. what is the RMS wattage out put per channel on your deck, and what are the speakers rated for?

Its 50w per channel, and the rear speakers being aftermarket, they are rated at 200w. the fronts are stock and I'm guessing 65w and 4ohm. If I remember right. Maybe I should swap out the fronts for the same aftermarket speakers, Maybe it will even it out? I've never had a problem with my EA82 (But I am running all Non-stock stuff in it) So whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbeerd Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 200watts rms? why would you buy 200 watt speakers to hook up to a 50watt deck? your only putting 50watts out if the deck is at 100% which im sure you arent as that would be quite loud. lol i dont think its the speakers that is the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93Newbaru Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) The last time I hauled scrap metal I saw this white car far in the distance as I headed towards their building. I immediately knew what it was and was pissed as this place sells absolutely nothing on their lot. I'd seen a few of these driving around town for awhile, I just can't believe it ended up at the scrap yard and not on my lot. Hopefully I'm not too guilty, this is the body of one of my 89 wagons hanging from the loader bucket. I kept most everything from the dash area, the entire front and rear ends, and all of the doors. Plan is to build the other wagon into something worth driving. I wanted to swap windshields but I royally screwed up when trying to remove the good one, instant huge crack so I bashed it with a hammer multiple times.

MilesFox Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 I'llbet that is the one rx that had been on the craigslist for 1200. so you can make offers, no one wants to sell, and then ultimately, it ends up in the junkyard. what a waste.
