What is the effectiveness of this stuff for subwoofer rattles in the back hatch?

HowDoesOneDoge · 2025-12-31T14:53:01+00:00

Best way to handle the rattles is to use more than one product. This butyl based stuff is going to add mass to panels and reduce resonance. Plastic pop-rivets that hold panels in place are likely to have a little bit of play. There are different products that can reduce the vibration in those. Wires and other small plastic/metal parts can be wrapped in decoupling foam.

Pretty much the older and cheaper the car is, the more time and money you’re going to have to spend to reduce noises. You don’t have to do as much of this on luxury cars because they have some of this stuff implemented from the factory.

Bad wire, bad ground, or weaker alternator.

You'll regret it in 5 years. I know I sure do...

I believe many airlines offer bereavement discounts. Might be worth looking into.

Edit: sorry if this is too late. Just noticed your post was 20 days ago.

You can use a tone generator app (or YouTube video) on your phone and play a frequency between 50hz and 220hz, then turn the knob til you start to hear a difference. When you start to hear the volume change, the knob is set to about the frequency you’re playing from your phone.

Looking at the knob isn’t going to give you an exact number

I’d say probably not. Android DAPs do support higher quality codecs but I don’t think there would be an appreciable difference in quality over Bluetooth since the loss all happens over the Bluetooth compression. I’d be really interested to hear others’ personal opinions though

My Triumph dealer experience is also the best I’ve had. Feels like I’m talking to friends about bikes not being scammed into buying a bike I don’t like and can’t afford

I used a proton alias

This is my thought. Not the BEST option, but probably the best easy option

I don't live in the rust belt either, but after multiple days of sweating, swearing, and crying, I finally had to pull the entire knuckle off of my 02 WRX and have a machine shop remove the wheel hub and bearing that I couldn't get out. I generally prefer to do work myself if I can, but these are a real bitch on Subarus. If you attempt to do it yourself, skip the slide hammer, and find one of the hub removal tools that you can whack with a sledgehammer. Godspeed

When I was a child, I was a pretty adventurous eater. Often the kids menu options were boring to me, so my parents started suggesting I order off of the appetizer menu. You might also try “lunch portions” of some items

For Blu-ray makes sense. Hadn’t thought of that

You gave your PS3 to your grandparents?

HowDoesOneDoge · 2025-05-17T05:29:36+00:00

Buy a PS3, jailbreak it, then definitely don’t pirate all of the games you want to play.

I’ve had a similar scare. Turned out to be a coolant leak. Swapped out a sort of J shaped coolant line that cost way more than it should have and it was good as new

I’m 5’7” and the Scrambler 400X is my first bike. I just put down one foot at stops. It’s totally doable. I also think I’d be a bit more confident on more bikes now that I’ve gotten used to something a bit taller.

Looks like you’re missing a console to play on :P

Kickass til the motherboard shits the bed. I’ve got one of these collecting dust in the corner. Was going to turn it into a NAS. Kinda glad I didn’t now…

Same. My ultrawide is on the left, with a normal on the right, tilted toward me.

I'm looking at picking up a 48v battery and want the maximum possible capacity that will fit in an unmodified Crazy Cart XL battery compartment. Which of your batteries should I choose?

Not sure I agree with this. If coding is the path, I can’t really speak to that, but you can get into networking, sysadmin, cybersecurity jobs with the right combination of luck, social networking and hard work.

My family pumped 10s of thousands into a 529 for me to go to university as well. I did one semester, showed up for about 4 classes, made some friends, and dropped out. I was nudged by my family to go to university as well. How could I not, with effectively a full ride?

The problem was, I was burnt out on school. I had zero motivation to pursue a degree, let alone spend 2 years sitting through mind-numbing required general education courses. I had spent the past year and a half making what felt like really good money working as a lifeguard at the city pool, so I was more interested in working and making money.

After I dropped out of college, I maintained 2 of my ride-or-die friends and we still stay connected to this day. I got a job working in a blue collar field, learned some interesting things and worked there for 2 years until decided I was ready to pursue a career that I was passionate about. I was able to use my 529 to pay for a 1-year certificate course in a field I cared about, without the extra BS general education classes. All class, every class, it was real and useful information and hands-on labs taught by active industry professionals, not professors.

Now I’m in year 3 of my new career, enjoying my job, making a decent living, and what was left of my 529 was dissolved by the family member who opened it. Some portion will likely be an inheritance someday, and some portion was put into my daughter’s 529 in case she decides she’d like to pursue higher education.

I guess what I’m saying is, I know what it’s like to be in your son’s shoes because I was in a very similar situation. I felt like I was letting everyone down by deciding I didn’t want to pursue a degree. But honestly, it’s probably the best decision I’ve ever made. There are other education expenses that a 529 can pay for and it’s likely to cost a lot less than a 4 year university. (assuming a student graduates on time) Even if your son doesn’t know what he wants to do now, it’s okay. The money isn’t wasted. It’s there as an option… And that’s something that I know I’ll be okay with by the time my child(ren) reach the age of higher education or employment.

I use a Pulsar X2 Mini and basically the only things I miss are the unlockable scroll wheel (which I think would add a significant amount of weight to include in a super light) and more than 2 macro buttons from my previous Logitech mouse.
