What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

super nice speaker!!!
I removed the plastic on the back seat, little less stuff for the sound to rebound off of. Gives you a tad bit more room also.
Worse comes to worse, you could do a little plastic removal where the system sits, that with removing the plastic on the back of the seat you should be ok? <shrug>
Drop a cell phone or gopro in next to it and see how much travel you have, if it's hitting, yadda yadda yadda

 

Bought it a new (almost matching) stable mate.

 

Damn nice work area. Look at all that room. Do you make people take off their shoes before entering. Lol

 

To get the best out of any sub check out enclosure specs. Smallest enclosure possible will give the best hit.
Also, is that box sealed or ported?
Sealed will give you tighter bass.
Ported will give you deeper.

 

Guilty of the super cool floor catching my eye before the car...

 

Been doing that for decades. Always tell the dealer not to install their badge on the truck! Why should they get free advertising?

 

There are several different brands.

Race Deck is the one that immediately pops into my head. I think Swiss Trax is another.

Race Deck's website has a floor designer, so you can plan out your floor and pattern.

 

Looks sexy, but it looks like they're basically slotted tiles sitting atop your floor so if there are spills, you have to pull them up to clean up, is that accurate?

 

Yeah, more or less.

 

Thanks. I need to look into similar, non-open tiles to help prevent that sort of thing, though I suppose if they snap together, that's not something I am likely to find...

 

She’s getting old but still shines up pretty nice! Bath day.

 

It's RaceDeck. Open tiles around and under the vehicles so that rain water drains away and solid in the walking areas and in front of work benches and such. Had white and blue vehicles when I put it down. Might have to add some red now!

Per @BigJanko they can be pulled up individually if needed.

BTW, they sell it in 12" and 18" squares. Went with 18" tiles at the time but I'd go with 12" if I did another garage. The 12" squares come preassembled in fours so faster to install.

Also, they're a vendor on the Garage Journal Forum. If you're a member you can get a pretty healthy discount.

 

More garage envy. Although I don't see how that would work with all the snow/ice/muck we bring in in the winter. I'd have to pull up and reinstall every spring. But the floor (and the tool cabinets) makes a nice work space.

 

Yeah, we get all of that, but mostly rain. Our garage floor is on a pretty decent grade so it drains and dries out pretty quickly. I've seen posts in the Garage Journal forum showing guys cleaning up with garden hoses and even power washers blowing stuff out onto their driveways. Others run wet dry vacuums. Haven't had to do that. Some have Roombas running around.

 

I'm pretty much set on Race Deck. My girlfriend wants to acid stain the garage floor. I just don't want to do all that prep work lol.

And then, she says the colors I want for the garage floor don't match the house, so I have to pick different colors.

It's a 2 car garage, but shallow. I don't even park my Taco in it because it would go from wall to garage door. So only my girlfriend's Si gets a garage spot.

So I may just do half of the garage for her car and order double the lip pieces for a border to remove any potential trip hazard.

 

Happy wife...

Oh, another tip, put down landscape fabric (weed mat) before installing the tiles. They tend to make a "clacking" noise when you walk on them otherwise. The fabric makes them silent and still drains just fine.

 

One of the YouTube videos I watched did something similar. I'll add that to the list. Good looking out.

 

How much do they usually run?

 

Hey what are you doing with that stock exhaust?

 

I just did SwissTrax in my garage. On the stairs, I used some recycled rubber mat that they sell underneath to make it a little quieter. It comes it a 4’ x 50’ roll so you could easily roll it on the garage floor if you wanted to.
