wow, after reading all this crap...

im 18, and i LOVE bass!! but im not the kind of kid that drives around showing everyone what i got, yes i'v gotten ONE ticket for my music being to loud..but that was my stupidity and i'v learned from it. if im driving and turn it up, i leave my windows up simply as that. if im showing it off to friends in a parklot or at work, i stay far away from anyone else- yea i like the attention it can bring..but it's not always going to be positive. if you want the attention do it the right way w/o pissing ppl off, getting tickets, and waking ppl up...thats just retarted imo! im in the process of hacking up my truck and putting four 12's two 15's 3 amps, hub, mids/highs and some lighting. and no im not going to be blasting it everywhere i go, making sure everybody can hear me coming.. the only place i'll be turning it up is in the right place and at the right time where NOBODY can bitch/complain. it's more about the respect for your custom work and for show, not distrubing the peace....
personaly i laugh when ppl roll up next to me at a light with their music loud as shit, windows all down-ac on...usually in a peice of shit car, always trying to race ppl, thinking it's funny and cool..
