Honda Del Sol - The audio upgrade

Like all Honda's I have owned, the Del Sol is yet another example of the thoughtless engineering of Factory Honda Car Audio.    It has been identified that the Del Sol uses a total of four 6.5" speakers, one in each door and two in the rear.   The speakers in the back are very shallow and only allows for about 2.5" inches in depth.

I have started looking at the following speakers for the doors:

Lego Vault - Trip down memory lane for those Lego lovers of the 70s

Gizmodo took a tour of the Lego Vaults.  A trip down memory lane for those Lego lovers of the 70s.  I remember building all of those space sets shown when I was young.  Wish I still had them  ;)

Honda Del Sol - Idle Air Control (IAC) problem - Code 14

On my way home one day, my Del Sol produced a "check engine" light on the dash and the car became near impossible to shift without stalling (the engine idled way too low).   Upon arriving home, I checked the codes using the field service indicator mode.  Not a huge surprise to find a code 14 - Idle Air Control problem.  Here is what I did to fix.

Country Music starting to lose popularity?

Growing up for part of my life in the midwest farmland gave me a lot of insight into the inner workings of people that I did not encounter when I was living in the "big city".   It made me realize there is more to America than I had thought.

One of the most prominent things that stood out for me was to learn there was a larger group of people that do not live in the cities with completely different perpectives on issues.  Possibly could indicate why which genre of music is/was the most popular on the airwaves nationwide. Rock / Alternative / Pop / Urban / Classical?  Nope, Country Music.   It was amazing to see how many people that I associate with later on in life didnt know that or even could believe that the TOP 20 HIP/HOP stations didnt represent most listeners.  http://cmaworld.com/media/pdf/marketing/2005_listener_analysis.pdf

However, it would appear just recently that Country is starting to lose out to Urban music in Charlotte, NC. Not sure if this is because city living is spreading or people are just tired of Garth Brooks / Tim McGraw. http://www.radioandrecords.com
