I used to keep Barry Manilow in my CD changer just to piss off the BOOM guys. My 500watt system was peaked out and louder than most minitrucks with lots of subs.
I didn't want to listen to your cRAP music, so don't force me to listen to it, and I won't force you to listen to Barry Manilow.

You really think he's a nutcase? A lot of what is in that site is valid, and makes perfect sense. Why should I be subjected to the thumps and booms of your "music"? If that's your taste...then fine, far be it from me to criticize it. But when my car is being shaken, and I can feel the vibrations from it...then I've got a real big problem with it. What gives you the right to inflict me, within the enclosed confines of my own car, or my own home, for that matter, with this sonic bombardment?
Barry Manilow, huh? Damn...I kinda like Barry. Scottish Bagpipes are my prefered weapon of choice. Little on this earth more anoying, and it gets attention...fast.

you know there's this guy who plays the bagpipes in the Times Square area... you can hear him for LONG DISTANCES...
in case you liked Barry, I also had The Disneylan Main Street Electrical Parade. I usually had at least 2 discs just for payback. now if they can apply this same thing to HEADPHONES because in subways and elevators, damn... some people are deaf. |

Since I put in my CD player, more than a few jerks have been exposed to the wonderful sound of Anal Cunt. Nothing says "STFU" like what sounds like an angry, high-pitched duck with laryngitis shouting "Pottery's Gay" over and over again.

I could not possibly care less what music people listen to. I'm rather eclectic in my own music tastes, and therefore appreciate some rather unconventional genres. Hell, I openly admitted that I like Barry Manilow, for Pete's sake. But, my point is, it's not the music, but rather the heavy bass, and the vibrations that these so called boom cars eminate. I find it not only annoying, but physicaly painful as well. I've also seen $3000.00 worth of equipment in cars not worth much more than $500.00. What's the point of that? The point is that it's all about being annoying. It's done with the open intent of being offensive. It's all about putting yourself out there as being an outlaw on the edge...an anti-establishment rebel. That's not about the music. And on a final thought...how cool can you actually think you look when the bumpers, and the trimwork, on your car are falling off, because it's being vibrated loose? How can heavy bass sound cool when it's acompanied by the rattle of loose metal? All I can do is shake my head.

What bothers me about the "boomcars," is that they are just that. A lot of cheap crap stuffed into back seat or trunk, with no taste or creativity involved. They think its impressive, when all it is, is muddled, out of phase, boomy garbage coming out of a woofer thats far surpassed its excursion limit.
I will say that I think this guy has some valid points. It seems that the owners of 95% of the "boomcar" installs we did at the shop fit the mentality that he described, whereas the other 5% who spent the money and time to have a good sounding, tasteful setup were the complete opposite. |

I'm rather aware of where I play my music, if i'm going down the highway, you're damn right it'll be loud, if i'm going down a residential street, it'll be lowered.
As for cops ripping out my shit and destroying it The noise level is 'illegal', not the equipment, i'd see them in court. I put Illegal in quotes because its community to community and not very heavily enforced.

I knew a kid who dumped so much money into his stereo that he couldn't turn the volume up past 8%. 6 speakers plus 2 subs, 800 watts per channel, turn it up past 30% and you're into life-threatening sound pressure levels.

I have to go along with the crowd here that agree's it is a violation of my right's for you to impose your loud music on my ears in a public place. If you want to destroy your hearing, get a pair of very professsional headphones.
The city i live in will take your equipment from your car as evidence after 3 complaints. So far, everyone who fought this in court has lost and then had to pay more in court/attorney fees.
