You know you built your box right when...

A few nights ago I was outside a convenient store with a couple friends when 2 cops from our town rolled up to grab coffee or w/e. We ended up talking for a few mins...then I remembered to ask what the rule is on cars with loud music. They basically said "As long as we don't get complaints, we really don't care." Then we started asking stuff like "What if we passed by you at 11pm or 1am full tilt?" (etc. etc.) They said "If it was in residential parts, then yes we would talk to you. But if you were on the main roads we wouldn't bother."

It's pretty chill around here, as long as your smart with it, no one cares.

Then my friend started this debate where "if loud street bikes, harleys, and loud exhaust cars can roll by very often, then cars with systems should be the least of their concern." or something like that.

I kinda agreed but disagreed with his plea. I agree that there are louder cars (exhaust wise) out there than just cars with stereo's. But I disagree because they really can't help it. Car's with stereo's can, it's called the volume knob. We have nothing against those cars or bikes, we were just making a reference.

Idk, just the way I see it. I'm sure some here will disagree. O well.

Regards.

Cars with loud exhausts can always be made quieter... The exhaust isn't magically loud unless they have a rusted off muffler, have been made into hot rods, or have exhaust cans instead of mufflers.

last time i was stopped was way back in like 1994- 1995 ticket was $150 then. had 2 12" cerwin vega stealth's powered by a sherwood 440 in a 1988 nissan stanza on a baffle. just fold the rear seats down and tah dah lmao... sigh, the good old days. anyways this state eats a$$ when it comes to crap like that though. seems the police have nothing better to do. tint on cars is illegal and on an suv its illegal on any of the front windows. also, in some towns motorcycles with a louder than factory exhaust are illegal. yup, this state blows.

here, i believe its 100ft limit. if the police can hear ya 100ft away (2 telephone poles) you're screwed.

That's what both of the cops that live by me said. I still got pulled over (not by one of them) by another cop and he still gave me a $75 ticket. First thing out of his mouth when he came up to me was" I'm going to give you a $75 ticket for haveing your music to loud, can I have your license and registration".

AS$HOLE! No one complained, he was just in a bad mood.
