That'd be my guess. I just googled "bout to get retarded lyrics" and it came up with either that or black eyed peas - let's get retarded. At work so can't exactly listen to it but perhaps that's it?

[This doesnt look right, to me.]

I thought you were talking about the building leaning to the right.

haha, true.

Noob suggestion but try re-positioning the bulbs. Then as far as the left one, get a new cover. If all else fails, get new bulbs, position them correctly, get new covers.

[Second Skin questions.]

I've been on this for awhile, trying to help my poor third tail light and also on a budget. Trying to find out what to get and all. I've heard Dynamat is good but over priced. I've checked out other forums, ect. Everyone seems to talk about Raanmat actually. And I've also seen that nothing is "the best", it all depends on your situation and what exactly you're trying to do with the dampening. But can't go wrong (from what I've heard) with SS. I've heard nothing but Dynamat is too expensive for what it does. Stuff out there that does as good of a job for cheaper.

[Does my setup work?]

I'm new to the audio world and am learning specs and all that myself but honestly what I've learned is everyone says that their way is the best. And also, get more than one opinion. So as Legacy said, it would run the subs but, underpowered. Save up a little for a more powerful sub.

Me personally, I have a rockford fosgate t1500 amp powering 2 t0's. Now that's a little too much amp for the subs, but can always upgrade to more powerful subs without spending anymore on an amp.

I'm sure more will chime in on this, and they'll say their 2 cents. But if you don't believe the internet, also could go to several car audio shops (or email/call) and ask their opinion.

[General Sound Dampening question]

I don't have any pics from the inside. But on both sides, probably about an inch away from where the light ends, there's a bolt holding a bracket. The bracket has the light. And at least for mitsu, not sure about cobalt, can't get the bracket without the light. I can upload a pic of the broke light. Was thinkin of uploadin pics of car anyways. May be a project for me this week. pics of the head unit, amp, 2nd batt, subs enclosed in box. Take like 2 mins to do the pics, maybe 10 or so to upload.

So wouldn't suprise me if with yours, about an inch from where the light ends on both sides, you have bolts or something holding your light. Just pos plastic.

But as far as being inside? Nah man. I mean I could see if it's inside the spoiler or whatnot cause that'd suck but some cars have their light inside their car right along the back window. That would be the best. I mean easy to get to and all. Unlike in the trunk where you gotta take down the liner (all they had to do).

[General Sound Dampening question]

Damp pro all the way it so far the best I have used and been using and by blowing tail lights you mean cracking right? May be body flex have you looked at it from outside with your system going to see where the stress spots are?

I do mean cracking. The light itself wasn't broke, I believe it still works. Just the bracket that held it broke. So had to order the whole assembly (which of course includes a light) which yeah. And nothing else is cracked or seems to have problems. Just that one tail light. But as far as seeing where the stress spots are? No, I haven't. I will soon though. Gotta take it somewhere kind've private cause where I live... people are stuck up haha.

And honestly, I do think it's a design flaw. I mean google it. Who puts the light right there? If you look at almost every other car in existance, where is the 3rd tail light (aka the braking light) located? In the back window or on the back window. Damn mitsu put the light right there on the trunk. That's why I say, when I get the money, that light is moving. Take to a body shop or whatnot and fill the hole, move the light to inside my back window.

Again, do appreciate all the input!

[General Sound Dampening question]

What gen lancer? It's a Lancer ES. 2010. Basic style, not an evo haha.

And as far as the audio shop being right, I know that's an obvious choice but knew that wasn't the only option. As I say, know my system is decent but there are a lot more powerful ones and I haven't heard of them blowing tail lights or mirrors or anything. So knew there had to be a fix.

Thanks for the input!

[General Sound Dampening question]

Ok so I have a Mitsu Lancer (basic style, ain't got the dough for the Evo). I have 2 RF T2's with a T1500-1 amp. Other week, I blew out my third tail light. Yay right? Nah, it's a nightmare to replace. Talkin over $200 just for the light. So my goal in the long run is to move that damn light or get a custom light built. But that's when I get the money. As for a temporary fix, was thinking of sound dampening it. Only real thing on my car that shakes and makes noise is the trunk (where the subs are obviously). So was wondering from the sound guru's on this page, what's a good brand of sound dampening insulation and where I should put it. Or if there's another method.

I went into a local car audio shop and the only advice they gave me is basically turn down the bass. C'mon, we can't do that now. Why would you buy any car audio at all if you had to just "turn down the bass"? They said any sound dampening wouldn't help. I don't believe that cause my system is powerful (compared to the walmart brand stuff) and I'm blowing tail lights meanwhile got cars out there from SMD and whatnot that may have problems like mine but nothing major (just blowing tail lights and mirrors) but are like 200x more powerful systems? I know most of you have seen that music video by Petey Pablo, the song Vibrate? My car is definitely below walmart brand when it's compared to that, but blowing a tail light and absolutely nothing can be done to help prevent it? I don't believe that. Not saying to find me a fix that will 100% prevent it but gotta be something, right?

And I know, if you customize your car, you gotta know that things may break and all. Cost of modifying your car. Just askin if there's a way to prevent it. That's all.

[Decided to go into Air Force, but question]

If you can run 2-3 miles or more without any issuse i would say dont worry about it. if you have issues with running and it can be traced back to asthma i would tell them about.

As an ex-AF uhm, person, (Not gonna use the word Vet since hell, only 23 and makes me sound old as hell), I agree. I had asthma as a kid, I no longer have it. Didn't tell them. Never became a problem. I told my recruiter I had tubes in my ears when I was a baby and hardly remember it and he told me "You don't remember" so I repeated what I said thinkin it was some joke and he said "No, you don't remember". Had physicals, got sick and saw the doc, they asked me "Ever had tubes in your ears?" "Yeah, when I was little, I don't remember though" and that's the end of that story. Nothing ever came of it. Military truly doesn't care as long as it doesn't affect you. If you can run longer than what the PT test is without any problems, you're fine.

They don't go out and dig up every record about you. They'll look to see if you have any criminal history and stuff like that but as far as "Oh, John had asthma when he was 6. He hasn't been treated or anything for it since he was 8. We'll flag this"? Yeah, that definitely doesn't happen.
