94 Cadillac Seville STS Bose Gold

(Sorry for anyone else as this is off-topic)

I bought the caddy new in '94 - it now has 156K miles on it.

Through 100K, the only things I had to replace were "consumables" - tires, batteries, (It seems to eat batteries, always has!)  brake pads, plugs, oil changes, belts etc; - only non-consumable was a couple of brackets for the rear sway bar - they broke within about 5K miles of each other but only ~ $5 apiece.

Since then over last 4 years or so I've replaced: Transmission shift solenoids ($30 parts, $300 labour); Alternator; A/C compressor; steering pump; water pump; fuel pump; Plug Wires -twice! (got good ones the last time - Magnecors - the OEM's & replacement were lighting up like Xmas tree!) Front struts (with passives). Everything except the shift solenoids I've done myself. I  got real lucky with the fuel pump - it was on "E" pretty much so wasn't too bad to drop the tank!

Motor is still going real strong - it's been on Mobil 1 since day 1.

Not too bad in all I guess - pretty good averagein costs for 156K miles over 10 years!

Hahah- no, I'll keep the Caddy as-is for now; all my "fun" audio projects went into the NSX.

But I've done virtualy the same thing on both the NSX & the ZXTT - it'll work, don't worry!

The ZXTT had the PAC Audio originally, because its new head had no pre-outs. But I ditched the BOSE amp/speakers when the amps blew and wored regular 4 ohm speakers & just used the head amp O/P's, so didn't need teh PAC Audio any more.

I have a full external amp set-up now in the NSX, but it has gone through several iterations along the way, including using stock head into after-market amp & speakers; I  also made the adapter in the pic above for someone who used a Sony head with stock Bose amps/speakers - it worked fine, so you should experience the same.
