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.

I never had the need to have my music blast at 130 db with people's car alarms going off within 2 blocks of my approach but I do need good quality sound. I hate crappy audio quality. I place the people you describe in the same category as those that have the obnoxiously loud mufflers. Actually I prefer overly loud stereos over mufflers. Extremely loud mufflers don't even provide a boost in performance. At least if a stereo gets as loud as you describe, it means it's probably pretty high quality.

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.

yes loud mufflers are annoying too. and i understand a need for quality sound and i guess if you are sound proofing your car then you probably aren't on my shit list so to speak. it's more so the people just sitting there with all four or two doors wide open blasting whatever it is they are blasting. no amount of sound proofing is going to account for that. seems like the car wash really really attracts these types of people for some reason. anyway i'm just venting because i don't understand that kind of blatant disrespect for others. especially when it's late at night and you are sitting in an apartment parking lot knowing full well there must be all kinds of different people on all kinds of different schedules living amongst you. and anyway it's not THAT cool that you have speakers. they are pretty common now actually. amps too. i think i seen them for sale at a few places. and how can you honestly expect me or anyone to believe that you are enjoying your music at that volume? there ain't no way.
