Rewired

In a day when I didn’t hesitate to do whatever I felt needed to be done, I gutted my brand new truck’s interior, stripping it down to the frame. I ripped out what I considered to be a “cheesy” stock stereo mount and proceeded to take a sawzall to my pristine dashboard. In deliberate action, I pulled out every 22 gauge wire I could find, replacing the entire wiring harness for the sound system. With crossovers, sub woofer and adequate sound dampening, finally the music resonated something close to what I sought.

At the end of this exhaustive endeavor I tested my system with a song loaded heavily for the low end of a bass. Mind you it was a hit song at the time. I can remember playing it repetitively and even falling asleep to it. Eventually this truck was broken into, robbed of every piece of equipment I’d so carefully equipped it with.

All these years later I can’t name the expensive equipment brands I’d installed, but I can still hear the song which played over and over that night…..”is there anything that I would not do, since I’d die without you”. I may have thought I was the one doing the rewiring, but essentially I myself was the one being rewired, even then.
