tell me this customer is crazy

ported a 15"L7 for a girl because she wanted to be heard 2 blocks away. she even got in a local car club here in Ark called "TeamDeafWish". she said we didnt build the box right because she can hear her trunk rattle like crazy. she was actually pi$$ed about the whole thing until she heard all of the rest of the members cars rattle.

just a little story to share

people dont realize how much vibration it causes. Did you tighten up her license plate to help her out a bit?

I guess she was new to the whole car stereo world.  That'll teach her to jump into things without research.
That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

we told her we could run sound deadener. she got her taxes back and had to out "bump" her friends. we just had to explain to her "more bass = more rattle".

It's really too bad that people don't do a little bit of research before deciding things to get. Research?! How about a little common sense? She actually thought that with all of that sound being produced that there was going to be no vibration along with it?

I can't stand trunks rattling either. Damn near everyone in my area puts systems in the trunk of a car and then blasts their stereo and is sitting there like, oh yeah doesn't that sound killer? Um..... I guess it sounds ok if I could hear the system over the rattling. I guess nobody around here as ever heard of sound dampening.... sad world down here....

(I live in a place that's not on most maps) Lamar, SC. Florence is the same way.... Although some people in Florence atleast know something about car audio! It's just that the majority don't. I'm sure this applies to many places across the US. That's all the more reason for guys that know what they are talking about to spread their knowledge to others!

A guy who lives next door to my buddy pulled up one day with his trunk rattling so bad it was crap. I told him I would help him get the rattle to stop. He said "hell no that's my gorillas trying to get out". He had 4 JL 8's. Turns out that he and his buddys like it when it rattles. they think it's a sign of a powerful system. Go figure.

Hey willdkartunes, I know exactly where Lamar is. Small world!! I am from Blenheim, SC, home of the famous Ginger Ale. Back to the subject, people don't realize how much noise their car makes a lot of times, or so it seems. I hate to be sitting in my house and hear a car ride by and can hear rattles over the bass. It is a hard problem to fix a lot of times but with a little work you car get the most of the rattles out.

It's funny when people are so ignorant.
That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

Are lot of people probley do what i did, which is a stupid move, and thats spend all your extra money on the equiptment(knowing how powerful it is) instead of budgeting it so you can stop the rattle.  I'm still trying to save enough money to fully sound damping my trunk(darn bills).
