I live in a duplex and got 5 just out of high school neighbors. everyone of their 5 cars has 12" woofers in it and 1k watt amp, same w/ the house stero (I'm not kidding). as w/ most "cool" kids these days, they all listen to rap.
on the weeknights, they're somewhat respectful and only blast their car stereos, and sometimes during the day they'll pump they're house stereo as loud as possible too show to one of their friends how hard it pounds. at the usual volume, I can feel my insides vibrate and can no longer hear the tv or my own stereo (which is set to a volume where ppl outside the room wouldn't be able to hear). weekend nights is somewhat different as they don't turn off the house stereo (which is still turned up to a hefty volume) until around 1:30 in the morning. I'm an insomniac, so I try to go to bed around 11:30 or 12 so that I can fall asleep sometime around 3-4 in the morning (usually wake up around 7 because any amount of light wakes me up), so the weekends are hell for me.
so my vote goes for it is never cool. i do like bass, mind you, but at a reasonable level where others 30 feet away aren't litterally feeling it. that and driving through town w/ it at full volume is just irratating and distracting... anyone else think that it could be a hazard while driving? I mean can you even hear an ambulance or fire truck?
