When you've got your blinged-up BMW 3-series/ Ford Focus/ Honda Civic/ etc. with low-profile wheels, wide chromed exhaust pipe, body decals, UV lights and blacked-out windows you will of course have the standard
bass-distortion-heavy, ear-liquifying stereo that is de rigeur for cars of this fashion.
However,
on those days when you don't want to listen to bass beats loud enough to blur your vision - perhaps you're feeling a little delicate, perhaps you just want some Mozart quartets, or a little Andy Williams - this idea will come to your rescue. It allows you to listen to whatever you want inside the car, whilst playing repetitive bass beats outside the car, with specially added distortion to give the impression of extreme loudness.

I like it - I was behind one of these things the other day, his (I assume 'he' because I've never yet seen a woman driving along with whale deafening deep-sonar level vibrations emanating from their car) rear numberplate was shaking so much, it looked as though it was about to fall off. |

You'd still have to turn Mozart up to ear-bleeding levels in order to drown out the four-on-the-floor outside. Maybe the boom-bap could be synchronised to the internal music to minimise the intrusion? Just don't listen to Strauss unless you want the local kids to think you like Techno-waltz. |

I once had a rather flimsy Ford Fiesta, and considered fitting voice coils to the body panels to boost bass [+] |

Ah, no [wagster] - the external music would be distorted to sound like the music leaking from a very loud stereo inside a well-soundproofed car. I know this wouldn't do the job of deafening everyone in the vicinity, but it would give the right impression while allowing you to enjoy your Mozart or Andy Williams. |

Or you could just turn up good music with bass? Not e v e r y o n e with a 'system' has bad tastes in music, don't ya know. I crank jazz, classical, and old rock music, along with primus on my system. (1600W 12in x 2) |

I don't give a flying fuck what you want
to listen to. I am therefore amazed that
people with 'systems' seem to think I
want to hear it. |
|

People with 'systems' are simply people
who never got out of the look-at-me
stage that most people grow out of
around four years old. They ruin other
people's quality of life with that
distorted crap, they know it, and they
take pleasure in it. |
|

There's really no reason for these
things; most of these crap boxes have
sufficient decibels to cause permanent
hearing loss, even in small doses. And
guess who pays for the hearing aids
when these guys can't hear or get a job
by the age of 30 - the taxpayers. |
|
| |
The noise ordinances are enforced
around here. People's attorneys threw
up all kinds of stupid arguments, but
they have not for the most part been
able to get out of the $175.00 fine.
There should be more cops with decibel
counters. |

You're assuming; you don't need to crank the sub in said 'system' to loud annoying levels. In my case, I drive a jeep that has sooo much road noise I can't enjoy music. Just because I want to hear bass guitar (that won't be reproduced on 5.25 speakers) doesn't mean I'm not considerate. |

//There's really no reason for these things// What? Subwoofers?, or just subwoofers in a car? |
|
| |
//whale deafening //ahem, whoomp, whoomp. |

While I can symphathize with your plight, Jeep is not the typical vehicle used by bass-pumping "system" users. |
|
| |
In most cases, complaints about "road noise" could be more efficiently addressed by replacing, or properly maintaining the original vehicle. I know for a fact that a properly maintained Honda Civic does not have the kind of road noises to warrant a 120+ Decibel sound system... and on any Jeep moer than three years old, even 240+ Decibels isn't going to be much help. |

Kinda similar and you'd get the chicken noises option as well |
