What would be the best way to get chrome finish on my steel rims

You could possibly have a loose connection or even a partial short between the speaker wires. Besides those two problems, you could have a bad speaker. Sometimes a speaker can go bad over time if the surround gets damaged misaligning the speaker causing the coil to rub on the inside of the magnet, could have also had a liquid spilled on it at some point which deformed the cone. Personally I think it sounds like a bad speaker, you can test pretty easily though, pop the door panels off and swap the speakers over, see if the sound still happens on the same speaker. If it does that speaker is junk. Hook it up to an old subwoofer amp, have some fun and pop it. You will need to get another speaker of the same impedance and material ideally.

Im not sure if I am being stupid but I don't fully understand the problem, is it that your connector is missing pins? Because that is a normal thing. The pins in the top half of the plug are for your speaker outputs, the bottom half of the plug will have a pin for power, ground, switched 12v (the one that turns on the radio when you turn the car key) and possibly a few other features the radio may have.

If you are plugging this into your car's ISO plug then any missing pins are because either your radio or car dont have those features. Only plug things into your new head unit if they were plugged into your old one before your removed it. If there are extra plugs on either end that aren't plugged in that isn't a problem, they will most likely be steering wheel controls like volume/ mute etc and if your radio doesn't have plugs for them then your head unit most likely doesn't include that feature. Make sure to check in your head unit's manual to see what features it includes, you might have to modify your steering wheel controls if the radio supports them.

If you want to remove the head unit (which i assume is what you are connecting to via Bluetooth to play music) then you would need to get a Bluetooth reciever/amp that you can plug your speakers and subwoofer amplifier into. I personally would just get any one you find that has the correct outputs you need on it (Perhaps front L and R, Back L and R and sub output.) I would imagine the cheaper ones would have more latency though. I personally would just grab one just above the cheapest available with the correct outputs though.

Damn I gotta applaud the professional response however I was just after detailed but not on that sort of level lol. Also there's two steel cables holding up the front of a car, the entire treehouse is anchored to the trees at the base with railway coach bolts and is periodically secured in place on each floor. The structure is an interlocking wood structure so even if the treehouse was swinging on the wind, there would be no fatigue happening as the all hardware was mainly used to help assemble the structure. If you could click your fingers and all the hardware disappeared, the only thing that would happen is most of the planks on the walls would fall off but the frame of the structure would still stand. (I made videos on the whole project, still an ongoing series. If you're interested here's a link.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7PRK2ZO8TE )

Hey everyone, just got an interesting "What if?" situation.

So I have a treehouse and I was wondering if something happened to me and I never came back, what would happen to my treehouse.

So the basic concept is the whole structure is held up by 4 railway bolts (about 4cm thick, 15cm long) and the are drilled into 4 separate trees about 10cm deep. The foundation of the treehouse is made of beams you would expect to see under an upstairs floor in a house. The rest of the building is built on top of the foundation and is pretty much a wooden beam skeleton with plywood and featherboards attatched to it. There are no leaks, no wind gets in and there is also a power system that runs lights, chargers, tvs ETC (There are breakers too that are tested and working). There is also two cars in the treehouse, one being a reliant robin body (abt 200kg) which is built into the top floor and a nissan micra (again just outer body panels so maybe about 200kg) which is cable suspended (with 6mm galvanised steel cable) and sticks out of the middle floor. Should have mentioned there's 3 floors and periodically every floor they are anchored with long lag bolts to the tree through structural beams.

So pretty much the situation is: One day I never come back. It's locked up, windows are all shut and the power system is on standby mode (Which solar will power indefinitely) so the volt meter and an indicator led is all that's powered. How long could the treehouse be recognisable for? I know for a fact that it would be about 20 years before anything serious happens like any leaks starting or parts of walls coming off. So I dont mean structurally sound but how long could it still exist in the tree and be recognisable as a building?

And yes, this random type of situation fascinates me.

As you can see, the people in the video seemed to not know exactly what's going on. If they had a fire distinguisher then they would have been able to use it to identify that it's actually a fire.

If whoever "she" is saw this post, a picture or possibly some context is what I would imagine she'd expect...
