Yes, I was being a smart-***. There's a lot of truth in the sentiment I was expressing, but at the same time I try not to take things too seriously. I mean really, so what if someone wants to crank their volume? I wouldn't, but to each his own. Ever see those morons driving around with headphones stuck in their ears? Now those people really make me cringe.

That, and mugh higher it starts stripping out frequencies and distorting.

Well it only goes up to 30, so you were damn near topping it out. Did you have the 3-band EQ adjusted in any way?

farmosh203 · 02-17-2010, 08:47 AM

I always thought my speakers were louder when I first bought the car. I remember only going up to 20 or so when I first bought it. Over time, either my ears became more tolerant to the sound or my speakers got softer. I had the windows down on the highway, so 26 was a little louder than normal listening.

I didn't have the EQ adjusted in any way.

Today on the way driving to work, the FM channels all of the sudden stopped working, I just hear noise now. I'll call the dealer and bring it in.

Man 26?! I usually have it on 20 at the most and that's with Bass and Treble at +5 already, any higher sounds distorted.

I bust my Bose at 30 all the time and with the Kicker amp and 8 inch woofer in the back it sounds great.

i don't worry about them speakers as much as the ears of those who would play music that loud

eh what you say? My hearing is already on the bad side from my job in the Army and probably from the stereos when I was younger. Plus when I have my stereo all the way up I usually have the windows down too so it doesnt sound as loud then. And the Bose turned all the wau up is loud but not overly loud like some aftermarket ones can get.

Plus if we worried about everything that could be bad for us we would have no fun at all. I know this guy that worries about bad foods, worries about girls and STDs even with condoms, etc.. He lives a very boring life IMO. He might lik eit but man its boring.

yeah, i can't even fathom the stereo at 26...i think my ears would bleed. i prefer to listen to the engine however, so i usually only have it between 11-15....
