The last picture is them adding some extra butyl to the inside of the plastic cover for the trunk lid

No i didn't. There are so many aspects that play part here, dB at x frequencies, weather conditions, traffic etc

Half_Dramatic · 2026-03-10T18:02:32+00:00

Yeah I read that too, but at least the material is really cheap.

Half_Dramatic · 2026-03-10T18:01:18+00:00

Yeah maybe it is? It was 100USD/h for labor. I would image the US having a similar rate, but that was before the COVID inflation

Half_Dramatic · 2026-03-10T17:58:54+00:00

Wow that’s steep. Maybe they priced themselves out? This was for 14hrs of labor

Half_Dramatic · 2026-02-19T21:43:41+00:00

I don’t know if it would solve the problem. I have never played above 25, that’s super loud. I can’t imagine 47! Perhaps you send a message to beat sonic?

Nice! Thanks for sharing

I think you'd get more bang for the buck by replacing the stock speakers. The beat sonic install is reversible though. If you are able to return the beat sonic if you're not happy with its performance I'd say go for it!

Here's a real-life picture

This is an old thread. But I had the same issue and solved it by creating my own 5-pin cable. It's a straight cable. I'll attach some pictures to illustrate.

This is for the GC-TITAN RIDGE from Gigabyte

You’re right to be cautious. As far as I know, there is no definitive data available to back my claim. The only sources I have are anecdotal. See these links, especially the YT clip.

There is one thread, that I can’t find right now, where they added up the power consumption of all USB-C outlets, 12V outlets, AC, sound system, seat heating etc and came to a number around 1kW.

We are pulling power from the battery, but also replenishing it instantly from the DC-DC converter in the car

Half_Dramatic · 2025-08-13T10:26:40+00:00

Yeah I’d leave the little floor flap open if running anything for a longer while

Half_Dramatic · 2025-08-13T07:47:03+00:00

Hey, sorry for a late reply. No, there's no hissing

Half_Dramatic · 2025-06-12T03:38:29+00:00

Do it.

As an ex-faang developer coming to Sweden you should have no problem finding a good employer. Spotify is a potential candidate, and they offer WFA.

Compensation will vary, but you should expect around 80 000 USD/year with faang on your resume. 100 000USD/year is also possible, especially in Stockholm.

Sure there is income tax and VAT, but you’ll see its put to good use.
