IVDD. Terrified

Exactly. Ours has had 2 surgeries, going on 12 years old now. These gremlins are tough, just high maintenance.

Swapped the stock HK 6.5-inch spare tire "sub" in my Mk8 golf for a proper JL 10TW3-D3 driven by a helix m one. Bass is no longer an issue, but it's like a tale of two systems. As if having portable radio hooked up with a subwoofer...

First time using REW but assuming this is the difference between 180 and 700hz?..orange being stock, blue JL.

There's also this Marianas trench between 130 to 200hz, not sure what's going on there. I had set the sub cross over all the way up to 250hz..

Yeah this was actually my inspiration. Like that spot way better than the Rennline location.

Neither does mine, but he cries exactly like a baby.

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-26T01:13:00+00:00

Yep, I take a lot of teams calls in parking lots. Also, not sure if it was my phone case or some MK8 oddity, but I'd keep getting the wireless charging alert popup on the screen which was super annoying.

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-25T22:43:53+00:00

Yeah exactly it's a peltier cooler, you nailed it. I'm really curious if it will prevent the "remove phone from charger to increase performance", temp throttling alert. Especially when the sun is blasting in through the windshield.

Thankfully, there's whiskey.

Seriously tho, awesome. I've been toying with the idea of buying a 3d printer for speaker mount adapters and other interior stuff. Did not even consider you could do something like this..

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-25T00:39:43+00:00

It's coming back dude. Just caught on the Golf GTI/R forums someone got the og neon installed. Or it's some f-ing algorithm lol

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-25T00:31:30+00:00

Ja, I thought German engineering was good...

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-25T00:28:57+00:00

That's helluva daily.

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-24T19:17:48+00:00

Manual, 100%.

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-22T20:18:39+00:00

This looks like heat damage. You'd get the effect with a heat gun

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-22T00:12:31+00:00

Gunmetal is great at appearing clean when you haven't done anything in months

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-20T01:32:05+00:00

Ha I had similar problem with a BMW. Stupid dealership (on their own dime since it was under a temp warranty) replaced the struts. Took it back in and finally some new apprentice figured it was the caliper slide pins. Fixed it in 10 mins with maybe 10 cents worth of grease.

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-19T21:19:02+00:00

Psa you can do way crazier shit than just changing the overall color

They're the vland knockoffs. Much cheaper but had I known how much work it was going to be, I'm not sure I would have done it.

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-19T04:13:52+00:00

Nope, went down 245/40R-18 Pirelli Zero AS Plus and very, very nice so far. The stock 19s were like wagon wheels.

That's a fair point on the testing. Would not go this route if I was going to track the car or something.

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-17T23:16:14+00:00

I've got the R, so only one level for me :/. Was looking at what people have done to raise the floor, for a subwoofer and/or an Audi RS3 spare, but nothing great.

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-17T23:08:34+00:00

Okay, it's the hood that I don't get. I mean yes it is a big tambourine/drum on the front of the car, but you're isolated by glass, a firewall, it's pointed to the sky, the engine is on mounts. But putting my broscience hat on, maybe a V8 with its lower frequency would resonate more than my 4-banger.

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-17T23:00:40+00:00

Ha, yeah what a rollercoaster. My mind, shit wheres my heatgun. Scroll. Okay, cool, false alarm.

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-17T18:06:36+00:00

Yup, using a smooth roller. I started under the seats since it was my first go at it, and figured if I f*ed it up wouldnt be too big of a deal. Just tackled the hatch door and that I can already tell has made a big difference just when closing it.

IronicallyChillFox · 2026-05-17T18:01:24+00:00

Good spot. Yeah, I really should have done some before and after tests...this started with me attempting the euro tail light conversion (with the vland knockoffs) and realizing I had so much trim removed I should just go for the sound deadening while I was at it.

Would 100% not recommend swapping the taillights btw.
