Re: Loud systems in residential areas
imo these systems in a housing/residential area are an affront to peoples serenity in their homes. Local ordinances are the lowest priority for these self centered attention mongers. I say after three violations of any noise ordinance, sieze the offending instrument and send it to an auto crusher! Usually the same uncouth morons cruise the streets impressing no one but themselves. Before anyone jumps in to flame, just consider first if you are included in this group of people who cause disharmony in a peaceful neighborhood. If you like to destroy others peace and quite, then shame on you. There is just no excuse for rattling the nerves of others in the guise of personal preference and freedom. If i had a schematic of a device that would fry the amps of these peoples 'stereo system', i would build it and use it with glee from my home Then only consolation is that they will slowly lose a lot of their hearing.

GG's "BOOM BOOM DEATH RAY" machine......
I have been out of Atlanta now for close to 10 years.
We do not have a boom boom problem here at all, and I can't say I miss it.
My 20 year sentence in Stone Mountain, GA was pure misery.

Re: Loud systems in residential areas
Yeah, I did a google search for anything that could be used. I also searched a sonic 'ray' that would accelerate the hearing loss in the idiots that do this, so when they get hearing aids they cannot then use any 'amp'ed systems (lovely audio range on those hearing aids aren't they? Next search will be a remote controlled 'spike strip' embedded into the roadway BUT I have to figure out a way to make it stealthy so its not easily found. Not to mention, after a couple of 'activations' it would be pretty hard to explain the coincidental multiple 4 tire failures at that exact location. I figure since its 4 tires, the damn thing would be hauled away and maybe lost or stolen in the yard it is transported to. Yeah, maybe a Star-Trek phaser? OK, time to dream some more... Don't think they would continue driving around blind, do you ?
O, wait, they'd just get someone else to drive, then you could zap them too.

Re: Loud systems in residential areas
As a car audio enthusiast I do my best to keep courtesy a top priority. In residential areas I keep it turned down or have it turned off entirely. For car shows and other events it's at 100%. If I was near you on a highway I apologize.
But don't worry most inconsiderate owners of car audio usually don't know how to dial in their equipment properly so they will fry their stuff themselves.

Re: Loud systems in residential areas
I only seen this thread now...
This morning I started to make a spot for a set of Clarion SRQ1623S speakers to be mounted in the trunk. Because every car should have a set of speakers in the trunk!
Good thing I am old enough to know better when in residential areas to turn it down, but on the highway it is fair game to make it louder than my exhaust.
Main reasons are when on the beach, at a car show, somewhere parked and need some music with a little better setup than a group huddled around a galaxy s5.
Current setup has 14 speakers and 3 amps. Another 4 speakers will mostly add looks and not overall loudness

Re: Loud systems in residential areas
I have a pretty banging system but I don't try to quake my way through neighborhoods. I'm not saying you have, but all of us can not be grouped together as neglectful turds. We are usually pretty courteous with our boom boom, with the exception of a few Jack wagons.
