Insane loud car stereo
Discussion
This morning i heard what can only be described as the most ridiculously loud car stereo i have ever heard.Now i have seen my fair share of chavs playing loud music but this thing was completely retarded im not even sure what car it was coming from but it was coming from a good few cars behind mine and i kid you not my rear view mirror was shaking and i could FEEL the bass in my body strongly, seriously this was beyond mental i did not even know such levels of bass where even possible WTF, as much as i hate chavs who play loud music this thing was so ridiculous i started to laugh out loud, i can only assume it was some sort of competition car or something, i actually don't even think anybody will be able to imagine just how loud this thing was, never heard anything like it how anybody could drive with it playing like that is beyond me. i would love to know what exactly was inside it absolutely mental bass!
Could be that they've wired it to speakers that are outside the car in some way, so it's not all that loud actually inside the car.
We've had one in our town, a Saxo. The sound is so loud you can hear it from about 100m away, clear as a bell. They have some sort of Tannoy on the roof. It was being chased by plod in a Defender !
Cretins. (Not the plod)

Could well be one of those "competition" cars that is all about pure db output. Imagine how quickly you'd do serious damage to your ears in one of those things?
C4 did a documentary a while ago about taste and how our class defines our taste, and when they went to see what working class taste was like, they went to Sunderland (surprise surprise). The presenter went a McDonalds car park meet thing, and was talking to some car owning chavs, and there was a chav with one of these ultra-loud cars where the back seats are gone in place of a single, huge subwoofer. He did look like a "Forever alone" type virgin, but he seemed proud enough of it. I suppose once he goes deaf, he won't be able to hear people laughing at him any longer. I just don't see the attraction personally, but then I don't listen to music or the radio in my car any way.

Listen to yourself, were you born old?
Ever do anything stupid, senseless without rhyme or reason and risks your health when you were young, if only to annoy the old people that constantly b
hed about you, as your doing now, surely? No?
Its a rite of passage, let them make the same mistakes we did, they will learn, just as you did, or not.

That is nothing about music, it is a way of getting people to look at you, a cry for help, im all for some decent audio in a car but several massive subwoofers is overkill, our ears arent designed to listen at those levels, can sort of understand the SPL competitions but driving round with loud music blasting out is for retards, nobody normal who hears that thumping racket, or feels it through their car thinks cool, they think shut up you tt.

Sorry, I have bad news.
This is you.
It's a risk like anything else in life. Smoking, drinking, drugs, adrenalin sports and erm, loud bass 
Obviously repeated exposure to any or all of these will eventually harm you.
I like a good bit of 30hz action like the next man (girls like it more, apparently) but it's not exactly a sociable thing to enjoy Music is a funny thing. The person in the car tapping the steering wheel, thinking they are uber cool and their choice of music is cutting edge and the mutts nuts, just looks a tool to everyone else. Misplaced confidence. Damn you, loud music!
Whilst tolerance levels seem to be on a sharp decline in at the moment, I do agree that people shouldn't pollute other peoples' air space with unreasonably loud sheeite music.

I remember when I was 17 or so we wired up my mates electric guitar to the stereo in my VW beetle so he could play the guitar in the passenger seat as we were driving along.
He even had the distortion pedal in the footwell.
Awesome times.

Indeed, we wired in a huge 18" electric guitar monitor to the car stereo as a speaker, pure distortion, funny as hell, we were kids.
The competition SPL cars are on another planet. He probably didn't even have it at full volume. Some of the cars will literally make you deaf. They test the volume by placing a microphone inside the car with no occupants inside. Mentalists.
At the other end of the spectrum are sound quality (SQ) cars. The hifi in some of these can be almost as good as the very highest high end home / studio equipment. Singers can actually sound like they are right in front of you - spooky realism!
Both extremes cost a fortune at this level.

THIS. t.Thump-thump noise is not music. I once borrowed a car fitted with lots of ICE/DVD/SUBZZZZZ etc shizz.
I played some Wagner in it.
I bought a 10" Rockford Fosgate Sub from my uncle for next to nothing. He had it in his Astra GSi and XR3i as a youngster, but didn't use it for ages. Put it in my Golf and couldn't believe the bass it produced. Some messing with the amp and settings on the head unit had it working at a more compliant bass level. Abslolutely awesome system.
I had a CD which had a bass test track on it, testing different frequencies etc. Even on low volume it was too much after 30 seconds. It was far better than those studiply huge ones people have. A 10" Sub in the boot is overkill really, but a lad I knew had twin 12" and another had a 15". Awful sound, bass didn't sound right and always overpowered the music.
