Has anybody got any tips for someone with anger issues that is easily frustrated? Lol

I want to reinforce my roof but I definitely need to vibration dampen my overhead console asap. Or get it to rattle less mainly. I have an 18" sub and like to bass myself out but I ended up breaking the sunvisors on my chevy when I did my last car roof after getting frustrated trying to get them down. LOVED the lack of rattling and boost I got in bass from using 1/2" birch ply I had laying around to reinforce the roof but don't want to break anything this time around.

I want to do something similar if I can fit it under the headliner.

Here's what I did to my trailblazer and the headliner fit back on just fine.

Not that there seemed to be any interest but the overhead rattle console is just a pop off/pull down removal. Decided to say screw it and pulled on it harder and got it to pop off.

If you're talking about a ported wall or 4th order bp wall, they're both still walls lol.

If you go 4th you gonna design/build it yourself? I'm nice to everyone here but I don't consider bought guys my competition, their builder is my competition. They're just the sponsor lol

Reinforcing my roof, essentially making it a weak loading wall, made a very audible difference. Before the headliner went back in, I took breaks between songs to recoup. And I like it loud lol. When other people say it's hard to breathe or they can't breathe *after you turn it down, imo, if they can even say or shout anything over what's playing, it ain't loud enough lol* it's an awesome compliment.

I like it clean too but when people tell me how clean it is too. I think to myself, they must've heard louder lol. I prefer the I can't breathe and it's retarded loud, rediculously loud or stupid loud compliments.

I tried to figure out if we have sigs in this forum.? Was gonna put my ride n system stats in it lol. I also want to be a supporting member so gotta somehow break through my a.d.d. and figure it out

My cld tiles came in friday (came with what appears to be free samples too) but after short exprimenting, I came back to wood for this paper thin roof that flops around... now I'm on to thinking laminate another layer... next is maybe fiberglass or metal =/ pos roof is like paper in the wind with just one modest sub and amp... I may just run this ride temporarily if I can't get it solid enough while still being able to put the headliner back up. Go back to a chevy worst case scenario lol. They do have better alternator options as well... Time will tell. I need my daily bass fix and it needs to be well into the 150s down to 30hz would be a decent start.
