LOUD Highs..... more speakers OR just better speakers?

[headless 10+ year member]

haha yea when i show people them and let them hear them they are blown away by them they seriously will make you go deaf i only have i have 200 rms going to each one by a sony xplod 2 channel amp nothing great but had it laying around and people are blown away by them you can hear them prob a quarter mile away plus during day time at night you cna hear them a lil farther they are no joke and considering only 200rms per tweeter its sick and they dont sound that bad at all.

i have the mounted in the grill on the outside of my truck for partys or just to blare loud azz music lol

I just had to quote this because it's ****ing hysterical

1. You bought a sony xplod amplifier.

2. You think your sony xplod amp is actually putting out 200w rms per channel.

3. You bought 5 inch 'tweeters', and actually think 200w rms is needed for tweeters.

4. You think that things sound louder because it's dark.

5. You mounted speakers on the grill of your truck.

You idiot.

While you are mistaken on point #4, sound does indeed travel easier/further at night, I still agree with your over all conclusion.

Sound travels identically at night as during the day, assuming that the composition of the air which is transmitting the sound isn't different. If the temperature, humidity/density of the air hasn't changed, it will not sound any louder. Light does not effect sound volume. If the sound is different at night it's because of temperature changes in the air, not because it's ****ing dark. Could you say that it's louder in cooler or in warmer air? Sure, but if it's cold during the day, then warms up at night due to a high pressure front coming through, the inverse would be true when comparing it being warm during the day then cooling down at night. The presence or lack thereof of Light does not effect sound volume. The composition of air is what is important.

Last time I checked, it gets cooler at night time than it does during the day, virtually everywhere.
I never said it travels further/easier because of a lack of light. Im fully aware of why sound travels further at night.

King ranch said its heard ever further away at night, to which you laughed at him for the comment. When in fact 99 times out of 100 it WILL be louder at night. It appears you have since googled the topic and realized your mistake, and you are now looking for a technicality to squirm out of being wrong.

King ranch is the laughing stock on the ford f150 forum.. he should stop giving advice when he has no clue whats going on

it's common for it to get cooler at night most of the time, yep..but that's not the point, saying it's louder at night is not correct, if you want to say something accurate, say 'when it's ****ing cold', not 'when it's dark'. I've seen temps increase at night vs. during the day..it's just not common in florida. I didn't make a mistake in the first place; night has nothing to do with the difference, only temperature and air density, which is what i've said from the beginning. if anything, you're the one trying to insist that night time has something to do with the way sound travels - and now you're attempting to go back on what you said originally. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Again, nice job googling the topic after you've already made a fool of yourself.
Yes, I know exactly why sound travels further at night. Ive likely known why since you were in elementary school, so spare me. And I knew back when I read your comment laughing at king ranch for saying his system is louder at night, which it is. Did you laugh at him for correlating light and sound? No, you laughed at him for correlating nighttime and sound, which there is a correlation between. I see right thru you, and this weak attempt to dig yourself out of this hole. I guess its just too hard to admit you were wrong.

Saying its louder at night IS correct. Less background noise and lower temperatures are both normal experiences at night. Therefore, stating that your stereo is louder at night is true, generally speaking. If I were to say mine were, I certainly should be able to do so without some chode telling me Im wrong because a pressure front might move through the region. lawl //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

What you are contending is like telling someone they shouldn't say its harder to see at night. After all its the lack of light that makes it harder to see, not that its night time... and someone might have a flashlight right? A technicality to try and make you look not quite so wrong. But when you step back and look at what you are saying, you are still the guy trying to tell people its not harder to see at night.

Correction - his system is not louder at a distance at night, his system sounds louder at a distance when it's colder. Stop insisting that it's louder at night; night has nothing to do with it, the temperature and (as a result) density of the air is what effects it. Just like temperatures can decrease from day to night, they can increase, so saying that your system travels farther at night is incorrect. No googling is needed for blatantly obvious concepts such as 'light does not effect volume of sound'. Your analogy about seeing at night might work, except for the fact that darkness always impedes your ability to see, but darkness does not EVER cause sound to travel farther. As long as the TEMPERATURE and DENSITY OF THE AIR changes relative to the onset of night, your statement about sound travelling farther at night would be true - however, that does not always happen, whereas it always does get darker at night thus making it harder to see. If you can't understand the difference, it's not worth bothering to argue with you.

You refuse to admit the correlation between night time, and dropping temperatures, dont you? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Whatever helps keep your ego in place dude.
Until you show me a place where it regularly raises in temperature at night, rather than just the opposite, I'll stick by the notion that saying a stereo is louder at night is generally true. Certainly a statement worthy of not being laughed at due to your mistaken interpretation of it.

I still see right thru you. If the guy had said "and it plays even louder during the winter" you would have be quick to point out that sometimes it gets hot in the winter too, right? Keep squirming.

I've said several times that temperature usually drops at night relative to daytime, but there's a difference between usually and always. You seem to think that darkness 'usually' impedes someone's vision, rather than 'always' whereas nighttime 'always' causes a decrease in temperature...which is not true. Even in florida i've seen temperatures higher at night than during the day on a few occasions. If you want to argue that the guy is right, at least argue that he meant to say 'when it's colder' rather than 'at night' which is simply wrong. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Having a hard time keeping up with all the edit's to your posts. Is there a reason you keep changing what you are saying? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
You fail to understand that the only person here who made the specific correlation between sound and light was YOU. Nobody else pal, just you. You fail to understand that king ranch might very well be a meteorologist who knows all this better than you and I combined, and that YOUR assumption of HIS meaning was just that, an assumption. An assumption you continue, now appearing to insist that is indeed what king ranch meant.

There IS a correlation between night time and stereo's traveling further. The fact that you refuse to admit that correlation does not change that fact any.

I lived in Florida 12 years. It never got hotter at night unless due to specific and VERY rare weather conditions. Nice try, keep squirming.

 

[audioholic 5,000+ posts]

And yes, I know.... to say its darker at night or colder in the winter is technically inaccurate. You might have a flash light in your hand or be standing next to a space-heater, right? As a matter of fact it is so inaccurate to say its colder in the winter, that you should make a post specifically laughing at the next person who says so, right?

Chowder head.

 

[headless 10+ year member]

Saying your system is louder at night implies that night is the reason it's louder, not that it being colder is why. If captain idiot original poster understood what he was talking about, he'd have said when it's colder, not at night. You'd like to give him more credit than he's worth, that's fine - i take people's opinions based on what they say, not what they 'might have meant to say'. If you want to claim something, you need to use the correct terminology. You're arguing for the idiot, when the idiot likely had no idea what was going on. You'd like to give people the benefit of the doubt, i on the other hand think that people mean exactly what they say. He didn't say 'on cold nights', or 'most nights', or anything like that...he said 'night' which simply means when there is not sunlight, not when it's colder than another time. There's your correlation, how can you not see it? What do you think night is, exactly? Night describes the time of day where there is not light. Night or day has no effect on sound travelling, it's all based on temperature. It's like saying every night your stereo carries better...what if one day it's 50f and the next night it's 70f? Oh shit, now your system isn't louder at night compared to the previous day. Is that a rare occurance? Not around here...2 days can mean 40f difference comparing one DAY to another NIGHT, and not in night being colder.. Temperatures do change across multiple days you know. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif You're simply arguing because you're bored at this time, you've already admitted that night (the absence of sunlight is night, BTW, not 'a different temperature!') has nothing to do with how far the sound travels.

I can see Im starting to get to you. Your posts are becoming even more incoherent ramblings than usual.
Im not arguing for the 'idiot'. You are being hella defensive when caught making a mistake. I even said originally I agreed with your over all assesment (that he's an idiot).

You say you are taking him at his word, all he said was 'night'. You define 'night' as the absence of light, therefore that MUST be what HE meant. And then you REFUSE to admit the universally known correlation between night time and temperatures dropping, or the lack of background noise. Again, for about the fifth time, for all you know when he said night was he was referring to less background noise. That's a given no matter the time of year, temperature, or the price of tea in China. But no, you insist you know what someone else meant, based on an assumption, and then feel it acceptable to chastize that person based on your assumption of their meaning. An assumption that, you already stated, makes no sense. After all smart guy, if there being no correlation between sound volume and the amount of light present is a topic so easily understood that you did not need to google it, why would you assume king ranch would make such an obvious error in common sense, rather than realize he's probably talking about the universally recognized correlation between night time, and temperature drop plus less background noise?

And again, saying its colder in the winter time would be a laughable statement, because you might have a space heater shoved up your *** all winter long, right?

You are right about one thing though, Im only arguing with you at this point because Im bored. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif This discussion has gone well beyond silly, and Im confident just looks like a lame pissing contest to most third party readers.

 

[headless 10+ year member]

You seem to believe that there is a universal correlation between night time and temperatures being lower than day times...that is not true. If you'd like to believe it, that's fine, but it's simply not the case. Temperatures change due to other reasons, and no given night is colder than any other given day. Saying your system's sound carries farther at night than during the day assumes that every night is colder than every day, which is obviously not the case. You can make absolute statements about air temperature changing this, but you can't do so about night vs. day. The more you insist that i made a mistake by stating that air temperature matters, not the fact that it's dark, the more you make it obvious you ****ed up and are now trying to flame to cover your mis-statement. Calling my posts incoherent kind of highlights the fact that you have no argument. Thanks!

As for assuming king not knowing - well, his entire post was full of dumb**** statements; i don't think it's much of a jump to see that he meant night, not 'colder'.
