Well as US Marine who has just returned from Iraq. I would like to send that guy there and let him have no radios at all. I am from Oklahoma and guys like that make me sick, but on the other hand that is the reason I am in the Marines and defend the United States so a**holes like that can say what they want. You know the best part, I would be willing to bet a million dollars that he is a draft dodger or was totally against the Vietnam War.

Also I went to Darwin Australia, made some awesome friends and actually help install some audio equipment. It isnt illegal in the Northern Territory or Queensland. Just mainly down south in the huge towns and you go to jail the first time. I know a guy who got to spend 3 days in jail for car audio. It is funny really, but also pretty sad knowing the crime rate down south.

Some of my favorites from the other site linked:

Boom cars are often used to announce the receipt of a new drug shipment to a neighborhood.

Boom car operators are often associated with other types of crimes.

Sometimes you can't even enjoy a dinner inside a restaurant without being victimized

Calls to 911 are met with "there's nothing we can do about it," or "well, they're not breaking the law. (calls to 911 for a stereo? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif )

And, this is definitely my favorite:

You are leery of confronting an offender for fear you might be shot. (Yup. There are definite criminal ties here.

I wrote him a nice little message, wrote it from my dad's perspective so hed at least read it maybe

Hello my son has a system that you would describe as a

"boom car." However, if you could hear this system you

would understand the hard work and effort put into it.

Not only does the system sound like a movie theatre,

but it has become a hobby for him which is very

educational and is something that he enjoys working

on. Although none of us like the people who blast

their stereos in neighborhoods at midnight (my son

would agree), I disagree with you on every aspect that

it is somehow damaging and degrades our lives. There

are idiots in every field... why don't you start by

complaining to the police about the midnight races

that are held almost every day, which are FAR louder

than any "boom car," or harley davidsons that are

driven by older men like yourself... yes I wake up

quite often to their annoying blaring, but I think you

should just accept it and respect peoples hobbies and

pleasures... rather than just making huge

generalizations and trying to destroy the enjoyment

for everyone just because of a few idiots. Start by

outlawing harley davidsons, and cars... simply because

they have the potential to get loud... very loud. Stop

wasting everyones time and money. I am like you and I

can at least get myself over it and not complain and

whine, rather than waste everyone else's time by

trying to fight something that you don't even

understand.

Article from your site:

if you are worried just pay attention to the news and so on and if it comes to a vote go and tell everyone about it and vote to shut the complaining people up.

"The DC sniper had the right to own and use a gun. His rights ended where the lives of others were affected. He abused his rights. If the percentage of gun owners who misused their rights equaled the percentage of boom car operators who abuse their privileges, we would either be living under martial law or in utter chaos."

thats the most retarted comparison i've ever seen.

Sure the guy is a zealot. However, and i have said this many times, knee jerk reactions and noise ordinances would NOT be necessary if people were more considerate with their systems.

Cranking your system as loud as you want, wherever and whenever you want is fine UNTIL it starts infringing on others. It really is that simple.

it'll happen one day.. where u can't play your music loud... only at spl events...

i say during the day, 10-6pm, should be free boom'n time.. after that, turn it down and enjoy it...

we should all have a CA.com meet down in Norman, Oklahoma in front of that guys house...and have an all out SPL comp... obviously with all windows down etc. that would be an event...

Saying things like this and sending him e-mails doesn't work. It only adds fuel to the fire. Receiving hate mail makes those people happy.

They want you to send them e-mail ... it just proves their point. They're trying to prove that dipshit teenagers with poor spelling and grammar crank their stereos and piss people off. Most of the time it's true, you'll find the odd person who is considerate these days though.

So keep sending them e-mail, you'll wind up on his website and look like a meathead yourself - and you'll just further prove his point.

Want that website to disappear?

Quit cranking your ****ing stereo in a residential area at three in the morning. Simple solution.

You all seriously need to drop this one once again before crap starts to happen. I swear we go threw this once to twice a year. And it's the same things. People email him, he says your breaking the law, blah, blah, blah...

FYI, Just ignore it. Trust me nothing is changing...

That's what this all boils down to. Your right to swing your arm stops where my face begins.

Who originally said that. I've seen it before...

That's still retarded. Sorry. The world isn't your playground when ever you decide for it to be. People work 3rd shift who sleep during that time frame. People have children who take their naps during that time frame. Ever have a sick infant who is abruptly awoken from their nap? Etc etc......
