Just got a txt from one of the IT guys in Portugal telling me I am more appreciated over where they are for the help and courteousness of my actions than I am here by someone outside of the department.

Made this day a little better.

This is where you will really start to notice noise reduction because the stuff actually interferes with the sound waves to reduce decibel levels.

I'm sure you know all this stuff. You're a car audio guy. To be clear, I don't think I ever said dynamat was entirely unnecessary - just that full coverage of the stuff on most panels is unnecessary. If your car is already mostly vibration-free, then very minimal dynamat is necessary. I'd imagine most people would probably feel that more is needed in the Z than the average car. I did my hatch in its entirety; I think I could have achieved essentially the same results with 1/4 of the product strategically placed in the hatch. That amount I used in the hatch should have been enough to do the entire car.

Reps out for Harambe.

Anyone have a suggestion for picking up empty boxes of assorted sized? I have like a zillion things I need to ship out to forum members.

Also suggestions where I can just buy boxes for cheap.

I have a collection of boxes. My wife hated them until we had to start packing up kitchen stuff for a renovation

Do you have any big box liquor stores around you like Specs or Total Wine (those are just the two I know)? Those guys usually have tons of boxes and don't mind sparing a few for a customer; I've seen them turn down people that just walked in. But if you make a purchase they probably won't care.

Otherwise, UPS or USPS or even U-Haul has lots of boxes - you just have to pay for them.

Doesn't the post office have those flat rate boxes? I stole a whole crate of the XL's once to move stuff.

Yeah! I actually grabbed some with the plan of using them, but if you do you MUST send them Priority at the flat rate price, which I was hoping to avoid for some of these items that dont weigh very much... back in the day I used to steal them and turn them inside out but they've wised up to that and started printing the cardboard on both sides.

But I just realized I could steal those boxes and then send them FEDEX.

Thanks for the tips!

We office with a small firm that keeps a FedEx account. I used to make sure they ordered various boxes we needed for shipping since they get free supplies. Then we'd use Lonestar or USPS to ship at much cheaper rates.
