    • Yes yes bravo, bravo! Get those horrible car stereos and hot rods off the streets, the police have nothing else to worry about like drug dealers and organized crime, its more important to bust teenagers for smoking cigarettes and playing a stereo too loud.

    • I am doing my best to help to warn people and prevent them to avoid circumstances with the Law and their pockets. Believe me, many are challenging society with their anti-social behavior and they will meet their match soon than they think. You will thank me for this instead trying to cover up.

      Excellent point. Why does he need to look at the subs to see if they are there. If the cop heard the steroe isn't that all that matters? Is there some maximum wattage that you can sub of? No, they just want to search the trunk of that loud car.

    • i have a right to have a loud stereo, though i have a responsibility to observe my neighbor's right to a quiet, peaceful environment.

      i turn my stereo down when i near people. but i also live in the country, where its not so easy to disturb people since houses are so far apart.

    • I think that car stereo sound should be confined to the vehicle. It's emission should not be heard from a block away, it shouldn't rattle your teeth while you are at home or in the car or walking on the street.
