Push 0 #4 July 2, 2003 Didn't someone once say that only a human can turn plummetting to one's death into a sport? We be complaining -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

Zenister 0 #6 July 2, 2003 its all about feeling it... unfortunatly these guys use cheese bass remixes that really lack the freq response.. guess i should roll up with a flatbed, a generator and a wall of Marshalls...all for less money than the overpriced components used in automotive audio.. silly little cars think they know what loud it...____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Push 0 #7 July 2, 2003 I've been to a rave that had an outdoor sound system with a total output of 200,000 watts (reportedly). Of course, it wasn't that loud, it was mostly for the woofers and the very large area they had to cover. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

Zenister 0 #9 July 2, 2003 i have to say there is something really really satisfying about bass so low you can feel the concrete vibrate under your feet during sound check or the nice wide band vibrations of an amplified bass saxophone...it just makes the air move around you and i've seen women melt because of it... ...these guys are missing the boat, they dont often separate their frequencies very well so music not specifically designed for those systems often sounds like shit.. cars in a parking lot isnt exactly a "high tech enclosure"____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Remster 30 #12 July 2, 2003 Zen.. this sport isnt about playing music. All they do for their competition is play a single tone and mesure its dB level at a specific point in the cab. Thats all. And they say we're crazy.....Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenister 0 #13 July 2, 2003 they never were..it WAS Deep Purple measured during the California jam..i think its been surpassed, (by Motorhead actually) but i dont know what the record book says now.. but these cars still cant compete for projected volume____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Push 0 #14 July 2, 2003 Power is nothing if all it can produce is a bunch of electronic farts. I've got a nice little getup in front of me: a Yamaha RX-V520 with a pair of Paradigm Monitor 5s in a small room with good acoustics. It may not produce 100,000 watts, but I can hear the high hats the drummers use to accentuate the snares, so there. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

Kris 0 #15 July 2, 2003 QuoteI thought it was bad enough when the local punks were driving around with their cheap distorted bass thumping, but that's ridiculous. ... nothing a sledge hammer couldn't fix though. Amen. While my car stereo is quite capable of cracking asphalt, I never have the volume up if I am going through a neighborhood or public area where it could be considered to be a nuisance. I also hate the cars that are nothing but bass, no balance or imaging at all. At least on mine, if I'm cranking a song, there's no distortion and you can pick out each instrument being played very clearly. Kris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dterrick 0 #16 July 2, 2003 Eeh, drag racing, DB drag racing ..whatever. MY amplifiers go up to ELEVEN . Dave 74 Hz? Is that not the base frequency of a piston driven jump plane?

Katzeye 0 #18 July 2, 2003 IMHO - it's a total lack of respect for the rest of us who have to share the planet with them! I'd like someone to invent a gadget to mount on the outside of my house or my car that frazzles music when they get within 10 feet of me! Bill? Can ya help?! Is a chicken omelette redundant?

Can ya help?! a gadget like this exists already but i don't know how it's called at the moment. it was developed for people who have to work in a noisy area and looks like a set of headphones. It sends out a frequency which is exactly the opposite of the frequency of the noise. Hm, guess my English is too poor to explain this right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
