question for those with audio systems
like what is it about your personalities that makes you think everyone else wants to hear your crappy ass music? really i don't get it. what are you trying to prove? i mean for god's sake your car sounds like its about to rattle itself apart. does that not seem somewhat excessive?
and just so everyone understands i don't mean those audiophiles that have upgraded their systems so that they sound more clear and crisp. i don't mean you guys. i understand wanting to have better quality. what i don't understand however is the need to be a rolling radio station. yes i get it ur super... gangsta, rockin, country... or whatever. now turn it down. nobody cares but you. |

One more thing: many times, those with very loud stereos are also very good at deadening and sound proofing their cars, so they don't want you to hear their music, they want the sound to stay in. Most people here I would say are not the type to hook up a massive amp and sub and drive around with the windows down to act like hot sh*t. |

A lot of people around here crank their bass up and don't give a damn about sound deadening. Several times a week while trying to sleep I hear people driving down the street with loud music and a severe rattle. I don't mind listening to other people's music while at red light because I know I won't be near them that long.

I turn my stereo down around houses, and late at night, but - what's not to understand about cruising down the freeway, windows down, radio blaring?

If everyone did that then the world would be a better place.

I would leave it at individual's preference. Honestly, some ppl like that bass isnt that the reason why they install monstrous woofers in the first place.

Once it can be heard outside the vehicle it isn't individual anymore. Once it can be heard the next street over it's downright public.

Its not like they are going to stand for a whole decade in front of you and play the music to annoy you with full bass...
Cmon.... A couple of seconds are a bit too much??? |

I honestly dont understand this...
Why do ppl love when a Ferrari roars past them... you would go "Oh nice... that is wow" but the same with exhaust system on other cars... you start complaining... If the high music pours outside the pubs, no one minds... but outside a car... "ooo... i hate that" |

*meh*
I'm one of those guys that keeps my music to myself. I suppose I am not qualified to comment since I'm not a basshead.

yeah the couple of seconds isn't really my complaint. it's those that camp out places with their music blaring. it's ridiculous. suppose my personal preference is to stand outside and play flamingo lips on my cornet at 11pm. don't get me wrong i don't know too many who don't think that's a catchy little tune but to be out in public at night or even in the day wailing on a musical instrument is absurdly rude. and that's essentially what you are doing when you turn your stereo up too obscene levels and chill or kick it with your homies or vaqueros or whatever. it's rude. there is no getting around it. Quote:
and a pub where people go specifically to hear music and hang out is way different than forcing everyone in the area to listen to your new nickelback cd. not even close to the same. no one minds because it's what pubs are supposed to do. just like no one minds when an emergency vehicle goes flying by sirens blaring. then again if i stuck a siren on my car and drove around town blasting it i suspect people would be annoyed. |

Mine goes to "11"
Sometimes I just like it loud !! I'm sorry if it offends you. I work in a studio, I check my work in my car. My clients listen loud and they listen soft. I have to make sure what I do translates at all levels: 30db - 110db. Sometimes the music just "Cries" to be played loud and sometimes it's just wants to "whisper". If you don't like my level, close your windows or I'll be past you or the light will turn green in a few minutes. What a trivial thing to concern yourself with. I think you probably have better things you could be worrying about.

...actually the exaust notes are VERY controlable. Just don't twist the throttle or floor the gas...
Yes, bassheads are annoying. That's why they get tickets when the police feel like doing so. Personally I understand your apathy. Railing on the disrespectful waterheads is like asking teenagers not to race, fight, or curse. It doesn't work well. It's a phase for the most part.

I blast my music on the freeway, and turn it down in traffic, at lights, and in residential areas. HOWEVER, if someone pulls up next to me blasting music that I don't want to hear, I usually turn up my stereo.

i love how "because that's what i feel like doing" sums it up. like that's really any kind of justification for being rude.
and my supercharging an econobox, while impractical and silly in many ways, really shouldn't bother anyone to the point of annoyance. but anyway... i'll stop complaining because i'm sure everyone will agree this thread is pretty pointless. |

I'm wondering if the supercharging kit REALLY makes our engine any where near a smog machine...
