Not everyone wants to hear your stereo, and that is thier right.

I'm surprised to see a comment like this on this web site, but I'm glad to see it. I find the bass booming of vehicles passing my house to be a great nuisance. It interrupts my concentration, rest and work. And don't get me started on those modified mufflers -- not considered audio, but similarly annoying.

zane:

as it likely needs improvement. Fact is, most people will be annoyed with the bass that can be heard for blocks. I know that I am. I used to compete in IASCA and USAC SPL divisions and averaged arround 156.4db from my system. I still compete to this day, however in the IASCA and USAC Expert/Pro 601+ SQ divisions. I am telling you this only from experience, I have been in the car

--

What is this? Can you point me to more info about this seemingly car audio related competition? I'm curious.

zane:

Please exercise responsibility with your system and use it for YOUR enjoyment only. It's time we all start promoting a posative image of the car audio community, before they are outlawed as well.

This may not mean a hill of beans to you, however, when you are the one trying to put a 3 month old infant down to sleep; and are constantly bothered by dis-respectful "Boom Cars," I guarantee you will have a different point of view.

--

Yes, exactly! Because assaults (booming me and my house is EXACTLY like coming over and pushing at me) are not going to be acceptable, once people generally understand the effects of subwoofers pounding.

This is my first message here, and I don't know how the system distinguishes between quoted material and comments, so apologies if the above is unclear.

Whats the diff from a harley davidson driving by your house,a jet fighter flying above your house or a car with bass driving by.Noise is noise if you don't like it sound proof your shack or live with it.

The difference is:

1/ no jet fighters except during war time, which I have not experienced, nor should be subjected to in my daily life. Why should you be allowed to do the equivalent of wage war on my peace and quiet? YOu don't seem to understand that the right to the quiet enjoyment of MY property is MY right. You drive by on PUBLIC property -- and invade my privacy.

2/ some modified exhaust systems and Harleys sound just like airplaines flying low. The difference is that airplanes and pile drivers make noise as a necessary result, not for fun. Ads that show the "fun" of waking up your neighbours (I'm not making this up) and irritating people show the real motivation for much of this thoughtless noisemaking. Juvenile minds enjoy vandalism and harrassment and this is just another version of the same attitude.

I'm looking forward to the movie version of Taxi Driver 2 -- a vigilante who sets fire to cars with noisy subwoofers. I could give old Travis Bickle a list of cars for my neighbourhood, to help him on his project.

I think it's more impressive when all you hear is a slight rattle coming from the trunk of your car. While your inside your car getting a full body massage from your subs.

Sounds good to me. Direct the energy of your subwoofer to yourself, so you get teh benefit. There is no reason why I should feel vibration in my house or my body a couple hundred feet away.

Leakage is tacky.

I basically agreed with you on all but this. Yes, planes need to make that noise but harley's don't. I don't know anyone who drives a motorcycle because they 'need' too. You can drive a much quieter car so basically most people use cycles for fun. Also, a lot of people like to add that loud exhaust noise to their bike to make it seem more powerful.

If you hate bass, you hate motorcycles since neither is absolutely needed in life. I agree people need to turn it down but I hate it when the people that complain about the bass are sometimes the ones reving the harleys outside of my house.

Yup, I agree. I wasn't saying noisy clattery farting-camel Harleys are okay. A motorcycle can be reasonable transportation or a stupid noisemaker. The Harleys tend to be the latter category.

Wow, the bikers complain about your bass, huh? Nice.

I don't care about the date of the thread. It was a thread with a topic that interested me. I guess it's on the web site for a reason, huh?

My question is, why the hell do you come on a car audio forum supporting ANTI-CAR AUDIO?

http://www.lowertheboom.org . You should go and join the anti-boomcar mafia where all 7 other people agree with you. Hell you're probably already from there.

Sure it can get annoying when people sit outside your house and bump, and you do need to turn it down in residential areas. But come on, OVERBOARD.

I agree 100% with Zane. Why would you want a system to impress other people?

It's all for your musical enjoyment, not to be the coolest and have the loudest subs in the school. That's just rediculous. Go ahead and spend $1700 to have a few people think that you are cool (when you would be annoying even more).

 

[Masta GimP 10+ year member]

OK! I'm new here, but MY opinion is. There's a time and place for everything. I live near the Richmond Internation Airport and ESPECIALLY after 9/11 it got annoying. It's not that bad unless you're outside, but it's noise none-the-less. I understand what people are saying about harley's and rice-farters, but those DO have restrictions on them too AS does sound pollution from your car. I had an officer at my highschool that would write a ticket for every-car he heard pulling in the lot. He spray painted a location exactly the distance away enough for a ticket...stood there...and if you came boomin' into school especially at the last minute...TOO BAD! You just got a ticket. Luckily I didn't have a BOOMIN' system but enough for my taste. I mean if i had it up loud sure you could hear it like 2 cars away unless you have your music up yourself (at a reasonable level.) I want more bass, but I think I'm just going to play around with my box to get more out of it. I'm upgrading my speakers so I can hear it over the bass if I am travelin' down the highway with all my windows down. Just be smart. Save money. Blow money if you're going to compete, but keep the noise down in bussiness and pedestian (I think that's the right word) areas. Respect other people as they respect you. If they blast their system by your house...hell...be a dick and get his licsence plate and report him for all I care, just don't stoop as low as to drive by his house reeeeeeeeeal slow and bump. Ignorance is bliss...but not if you're an assh0le

Supporting anti-car audio HUH?? I have no idea what you are talking about.

Thanks for the link, though.

Since you ask, I found this forum searching for info about WTF is this boomcar nonsense that I never heard in the bit (civilized) city and only discovered when I moved to what I thought was a peaceful rural town.

^ "My question is, why the hell do you come on a car audio forum supporting ANTI-CAR AUDIO?"

He means, why do you come here if you support ANTI CAR AUDIO. Anti car audio as in, you are against car audio. (still to complicated?)

I read a lot on the lowertheboom site, and i sent them a fairly short email about how it's rediculous how they talk about people with boom cars are in gangs, commit crimes, are rebellious, etc.
