Not sure what button you're referring to, but I vote for gooseman #2.

Hi all, I have a 2015 SL and my speakers started popping like everybody else’s. I got a bit frustrated so I decided to see about sneaking a Pair of 6 1/2 Speakers in without any type spacer, no problem just had to do a little cutting on the speaker pod to adjust the hole of the speaker a little higher in the pod and wider. I went with the pioneer TS 600 M (from Walmart). After getting One pod done and set in place for a test listen, I noticed there was no mids and highs coming out of it. There is a crossover network installed inside the pod that needs to be bypassed to let the speaker play full range. simple process, just remove the pod and separate the 2 halfs of the enclosure, unscrew the crossover and solder the red wire from the new speaker onto the input side for the coil of the crossover to bypass it (see pictures) or you could just use a T tap on the red input wire of the crossover, I prefer soldering more of a permanent, cleaner connection imo, I also used 3M double-sided tape to seal the speaker. I am overly happy with how much difference in sound quality there is, with that being said I went ahead and ordered the matching 4 inch speakers (I think I can modify the pod to make them fit) and tweeters to finish out the pods. The 6 1/2 is surface mounted, which I did notice bumping my leg during my initial test ride. after driving a bit more, it’s not so bothersome now. Hope this information helps. Thanks to everyone in this forum for all the great advice and ideas.
Thanks for the crash course in speaker electronics. I wouldn't have had a clue about how to bypass the crossover.

I was so sorry to hear the Corona virus claimed the life of Joe Diffie, this week. One of my favorite artists. My wife and I have danced to all his hits back in the day. Truly he'll be missed.

Display MoreConsidering the $2.2 TRILLION stimulus bill, Here's a lesson in big numbers.
A MILLION dollars in $100 bills will easily fit in a gym bag. This is 10,000 hundred dollar bills, and it weighs a bit over 10 kg (23 pounds of money!)
A BILLION dollars is 1,000 times bigger. This makes a CUBE of neatly stacked $100 bills that is 8 feet on a side. This cube of money weighs 10,000 kg (10 metric tonnes). It would take about 7 full-size pickup trucks to haul it away.
A TRILLION dollars is 1,000 times larger that that. This means an entire football field, sideline to sideline, end zone to endzone, entirely covered by an 8-foot deep layer of neatly stacked $100 bills. This weighs 10,000 metric tonnes - as much as a Navy Cruiser.
2.2 trillion? Picture a warehouse as big as a football field, two stories (20+ feet tall), entirely filled - corner to corner, floor to rafters, solidly packed with neatly stacked $100 Bill's.
That's our stimulus package.
My Tundra could pull that, Doc! 😁

That's their job, they are in sales and ratings.
Yep! They have to "sensationalize" everything and "one up" the other networks. It's all about ratings. If they actually reported the news with sincere honesty, truth, and non-biased, or in more recent years, non-partisan views, it would be boring and no one would be interested... ratings go down along with profits from advertisers... world ends... you get the point ...lol

Only got a few miles in around town today with mama and the baby, but after being parked in the garage for three weeks, it was therapy... 😄

President Trump is holding a meeting right now with business leaders & supply chain managers about the corona virous and the fight against it. Guess what networks refuse to cover this meeting?
No matter, the only channel that counts is the one I watch the most... Fox! 😉

My Sling is my daily driver & my work is in financial which they have deemed important enough to stay open - as such I will be out in the slingshot every work day at a minimum
I train soldiers and the Army never stops training, so it's business as usual for me, too, but now that I have my new Slingshade installed, I can start driving the Sling to work again. 😁

Is that the 2015 Model??
I would Sooooo take that to Slingshot Rallies!

Watched Sam Owens' video last night about how to adjust the alignment of the front splitter, then looked at mine, and sure enough, mine is completely out of whack. Gonna fix that today! 😉
All done! Not a lot of difference, really, but much better. I learned a couple of things in the process... 1) the brackets and bolts that hold the splitter on only allow you to slide the splitter forward and back. If you loosen the top bolts, you have a small amount of up and down movement, but not much. 2) I imagine, with the flexibility of all that plastic, the fit & finish of everyone's Slingshots is probably a little different, but at the end of the day, job well done!

DON’T use the red loctite unless you never want to remove the screw later. Use blue that way it can be broke loose and removed if necessary later
I didn't even know they had "red" all I've ever had is blue.

We're going for a drive later today, when it warms up a little... 😎

Figure it's time to add my Nugget (as in "Chicken Nugget" - for his color, not his attitude). 100% Pure Bred American Mutt, straight from the pound. And the absolutely BEST dog ever. Goes with me on the SS and people at some of the meets have met him.
LOVE the dog tag! 😆

Don’t do the job without some loctite. It makes all the difference! I used the blue and have already disassembled once after that. All bolts were able to come out ok but we’re still very tight! Well worth it. Also, if you have a 18-24 inch extension on your ratchet it makes things much easier
Thanks, SoCal, I have all those things and I'm just about to get started on the adjustment (had to vacuum and mop all the floors in the house first) gotta keep mama happy... lol 😉

CDC just shut down domestic travel....keep your slingshot at home...no joy riding....Unless you have a reason for being out....
gonna be a depressing summer if I can’t ride....In the time it took me to read your post, and type my reply, five cars, two dog-walkers, and a Polaris side-by-side have passed by my house.

Seeing all the things you’ve done in the past FIVE green/GO buttons and only ONE red makes perfect sense😉
Is the red button for the parachute?
Passenger ejection seat!

if you’re going to leave the slingshot front wheels on the ground anyway...buy this instead...

no dolly, no wheels, no inspection, no plates... Very compact.Thanks for the link, that's pretty cool and a reasonable price.

I just happen to have one of those. I'd forgotten all about it until you brought it up...
EJ, look what else I found. A certificate for $5.00 of silver. This this is only ten years older than you! 😄

Where abouts in southern Ohio
Dayton, born and raised. There are still a lot of covered bridges scattered around the tri-state area.
