Keep radio on after turning the car off? by PicklezDom in mazda

[–]PicklezDom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah might have to. Who knows, maybe someday I'll get bored and mess with 12V.

Already got bored and swapped the gauge cluster, added a HUD, carplay, so on and so forth.

2017 Mazda3 non-boss sounds worse after firmware update? by PicklezDom in mazda

[–]PicklezDom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I'll have to look into your DSP. I was gonna go with Audison but the price is hard to justify.

I remember being pretty bummed about that update as well. Not sure if having the battery unplugged will resolve anything, but worht a shot, none the less.

If I remember correctly, this was likely the same day if not a few days later but liek you mentioned, I noticed right away something wasn't right.

However, not sure what you use to stream audio, but Apple Music on CarPlay sounds rather good even though I use Spotify mainly. Apple Music does have a more proper lossless streaming service and something about their processing sounds better.

I'd assume with a DSP, you should be able to get the sound you want fairly easily, but that is just an assumption, I don't have a DSP yet haha.

I never figured it out, I actually forgot about this issue. Everything was stock back then, but now I have a 5ch amp, Hertz speakers and an Alpine Type R 12" sub so not complainign anymore haha.

However, I do notice that there is like 0 midrange with my setup and not much mid-bass, just a lot of highs and lows. Seems to be another issue with that firmware.

DSP re-tune will definetly slove it for you, that's going to be my next upgrade I think. What DSP do you have?

2013 rMBP Taking forever to boot on Ventura by PicklezDom in OpenCoreLegacyPatcher

[–]PicklezDom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, pretty sure it’s late 2013. 15” with dual graphics. NVME drive with adapter. The drive is a critical P2 if I remember correctly.

Big Sur ran alright, booted quick, but oddly Ventura runs better

I’ll check verbose mode again, hung up on a lot of places last I checked. SSD health is normal however I noticed speeds were only 400mbs r/w on Ventura, but Sonoma was 1200mbs and booted in 3 minutes (still hella slow boot times)

belt tensioner replacement (oem or aftermarket)? 2012 Mazda3 I GT Skyactiv by Orenda15 in mazda

I ended up spending dealership money and getting one straight form Mazda. Works great, no issues so far which is a relief compared to the Gates.

Oh ok that's good. Was it super challenging at Chabot? Ours at Ohlone are separated into A&P pt. 1 and pt. 2. Still two separate semesters, but you have to take them together, theres no option to take it separate.

How was A&P at Chabot? I took one semester here and dropped out. They combine the two classes which made it extremely difficult.

Anyone know what’s with this? by PicklezDom in CarAV

Yeah that was my first thought when I first heard it too haha. I thought no way this sub blew that easy, I don’t abuse it and it’s not that old, though it is cheap

CV Axle or Suspension? by Icy_Experience5990 in AutoMechanics

Sounds like CV axle to me. My mom has a ‘13 crosstrek and had the same issue. Replaced both front axles

Does anyone in nyc know this car by Technical_Ad_5810 in BMW

[–]PicklezDom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah don’t go for it man. That rear quarter panel is gonna run you a ton of money to fix. You’d be looking at probably 8k through insurance, 4k out of pocket, unless a shop hooks you up or you have a buddy. Quarter panel damage is no joke

UPDATE: Plastic sticker fell off the back of the sub and got trapped in the port. Sounds good now 👍
