Seriously though. If your stereo is loud enough to garner a ticket, you're risking hearing damage inside the car. Hell, there are times I think my stereo is loud, but when I get out of the car I can barely hear it.

I'm not sure how a radio noise violation or 'disturbing the peace' has anything to do with your driving record though. They could just increase the fines and that would be enough deterrent.

It's just another excuse for The Man to get inside your vehicle. Like seat belt laws. Land of the free my azz.

LOL ya if you visit caraudio.com that is all they car about is how loud they can get there stupid system. Makes me sort of mad and it's funny at the same time. That is one reason I do not go there anymore. All the are worried about is "hey I got metered and hit 89db's" big fin deal. Anything like that does not even sound good.

Right on, Matt. Between the iPods in the ears and the thumpers, I predict a generation of deaf-a$$ people by 2015.

And who am I to say it..just an old rocker with upper-register hearing loss due to too much time in front of a Marshall stack cranked to 10.........

Ouch. Not true.
The true fanatics of car stereo hate "thumpers" as much as anyone else, because it ruins their image. Same thing as some teenager street racing and wrecking a Z, it ruins the image.
My stereo sounds plenty good and it's more than loud enough to earn me that $242 ticket I earned once. I got the ticket on a highway near the city limit. I was nowhere near a residential area.
I think these tickets should just have the price raised, not go on records...
Not all of us with loud stereos are immature kids trying to show off to everyone else. It is for the thrill for many of us. Why else would we enjoy going out in the middle of the country to meet up and play our stereos?

PS - Don't call us stupid for hitting a certain dB level. It's the same as cars and hp/tq. A quantitative measure of success or improvement. (Although I do agree that caraudio.com is a joke. Bunch of immature people on that forum)
