One-sided Confidentiality Agreement

I recently filed a complaint with my bank, which they dismissed. I then sent it to their complaint appeal office. This was just an email that I sent to them; I didn't have to go to their website and fill out a form or click any checkboxes or anything. I just sent a plain-old email.

Their response contains the following:

>By requesting a review of your concerns and/or acceptance of this resolution, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of service that govern our review which can be found at [link]. Among other things, these terms provide that our response is confidential and intended solely to provide our views on your complaint. It is not for broader use, circulation or publication except that you may disclose it to the Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments.

There's no way that's legally enforceable, right? If I wanted to put them on blast for how they've treated me, I should be completely within my rights to do so. Can one party legally claim that I've agreed to keep their response confidential, even when the first time they've said so is after I've read that response?

Opening Tail Light Assemblies

Has anyone ever opened up the tail light assemblies on these cars? (Specifically on the 23 EUV, but any model could provide insight.) By open, I mean like remove the lenses and fully disassemble.

Looking into options for brake and turn signal mods. Yes, I've seen all the options that an internet search will return, but I'm not a huge fan of any of them. I think I have an idea, but I'd hate to open them up just to find that it won't work afterwards.

Anyone who appreciates a decent stereo knows the factory system in the EUV (at least the LT trim) is garbage. So I'll be fixing that. But first, I have to decide what I'm putting in.

To help answer the question of what kind of sub I should go with, I measured the cabin gain in my Bolt. Mainly the question was can I live with the low frequency roll-off of a sealed enclosure that's simpler to build or do I need to make a bass reflex enclosure work inside the not-spare tire well?

I took a sub from my home theatre system (easier than using jumper cables to power a car sub) and first measured it outside (my neighbours think I've lost my marbles) to get the best representation of an anechoic measurement that I can get at home. Then, I measured the same sub with the same microphone at the same distance (~1.6m) inside the car. Each measurement was repeated 10 times and averaged, then the outside response was subtracted from the in-car response.

And here are the results! Gain starts to increase below (and above) 60Hz, all the way to a max of 21.5dB at 42Hz. All the useful bass spectrum is boosted by at least 13dB. So the plan will be to go with a 10" woofer in a sealed enclosure in the rear to keep everything punchy and save at least some of the cargo space. If the lack of cabin gain at 60Hz makes it too hard to blend the front soundstage with the sub, maybe I'll come back in and add an 8" or 6.5" front sub in the centre console area.

Stay tuned for the finished system in a month or two (going on vacation right away)!
