Annoying sounds from cars at stop light


What causes the stereo in the car next to you at the stop light so loud and annoying with over the top bass and how can the driver stand it?

Not if setup properly to play below the main speakers, and at the right db level. Also car Sub system designs trump home audio subs in that the amps are isolated, and not placed inside a rattling box. Cracks me up whenever I hear about XX brand Sub home owner, whose sub just went down because of a circuit board solder break from the vibrations and heat, and the manufacturer only recommends replace with new.

This is another reason proper Sub/s location - placement - is so important in a home setup, so the sub/s are not overworked.

It makes me sad to see all of those young people suffering so much.. 

I think the loud bass thumping has driven them so insane that many have had to resort to piercings, skin stabbing tattoos, and even their hair has turned colors.   So so sad.. ;-(


You realize that many of these kids are the future of "audiophilia" and stand to inherit our toobs, vinyl, and stuff that actually sounds good, right?
The only thing my son has shown a "real" interest in is what "it" does, and resale value. The Conversation is always the same.

He pays a visit when I am listening.

Son - Hey Dad, what is this, and what's it for ?

Dad - Son, that is a XXXX, and it does XXXX. 

Son - so what is it worth dad ?

Dad - Son, it is worth XXXX on the market.

Dad - oh, and don't tell your mother the last part.... keep it between us.

'Vanilla' van...('P.of S.' variety...low/no $...)....
Mod the sides....'looks like' sheet metal....'vehicle wrap' over perf. panels....
*Hmmm* ...as many 12~18" woofers that can be 'shoehorned' behind them....(...inside, of course...next to....*mmmmm*....).....
15~30 Kw Class Ds' ought to do it....for a start....
Set up drivers' seat as to be as isolated as poss. .....
(.....BIG earplugs anyway....)
Hero cams both sides, next to the mics.....
INVERT the 'input waveforms'.....
Suddenly....

Would it work? *L*shrug*

Dunno....be 'interesting' to go for a Drive, though....
