cops...

ok so i have a little story.. just putting it out there for any comments you guys wanna make..

so im driving home today, and get the urge to turn up the bass a little :naughty: .. its about 20 degrees out.. so i had my windows up. Im figuring.. well my car is all sealed up.. and it cant be that loud on the outside.. so im cruising slowly down the highway with my music way up. sure enough a cop drives right by me. i see him, and then just as hes next to me i figure ill hit the good ol ATT in case hes a dick and can hear my bass.

sure enough, as im watching in my rear view, i see his brake lights go on, his top lights flip on and i got that feeling when your stomach drops :uhoh: (anyone whos been pulled over knows what i mean).. i say shit.. i cant believe windows up and this assholes actually pullin me over.. it cant be that loud...

ANYWAYS.. the dude ends up just turning his lights off and keeps driving in the other direction.. thank god.. but it still had me thinking. now i actually have to always worry abotu how loud my stereo is?? oh well.. at least i didnt have to learn the hard way

anyone been pulled over before for bass? better yet.. anyone had a ticket? im curious as to about how much they ticket you for.

I know that feeling all too well. Trust me. I've never been pulled over for subs, but then again my only setup I owned sucked ass anyways, couldn't hear it if you wanted to. I got a $250 ticket for doing 101 in a 65. The state trooper asked me "Do you know how fast you were going, son?" Now I'm not one to shoot the shit, so I was straight forward with the man, so I said "I'm guessing 100". In reply he says, "Try 101". Shit happened and I got my ticket and almost hauled off to jail.

I had a friend get pulled over for bass one night in Skokie(suburb right next to Chicago) lol he has 2 12" Type R's. He just got a warning, which is usually the case, I believe if you actually get a ticket around here it's like $50 and they don't even take your license for it.

Trust me dude he didn't hear your bass...... if you were on the highway he wouldn't have heard your bass if your windows were all the way down (assuming you were both moving)

i got a ticket for noise pollution (loud music) last year and it was $35 ticket for the music and a must apear in court so $40 for that not bad $75 and good thing is it cant go on your insurance since its not a moving violation but still scared me to see the lights

Ya i highly doubt he turned on his lights because of your music. Specially on the highway, with windows rolled up, the sound waves that do escape would barely be audible (if at all)

Depends on how loud the setup is and how much sound the car leaks. I was driving down the freeway with my friend at about 70 and an escalade pulled up beside us. With our windows up, his windows up, and driving 70 down the freeway, we could still hear his bass over our music. When we turned and looked at him he rolled down his windows and we could hear it and feel it in the entire car.

But I don't think that would be possible with a sealed 15" CVR, maybe if it was ported, but not sealed.

well yeah i figured theres no way in hell he heard it. but i was pushin it pretty hard and we were the only two on the highway.. so i figured theres no other way..

the only thing i can think is that maybe he got a call right as i passed and flipped his lights on, but then the call got calcelled or somethin.. but it seems liek too much of a coincidence.. so i figured it was me. (and i was goin like 5 under the speed limit too)

and yeah sr20 my car leaks air like a bitch.. haha i was putting new bolts on my license plate a couple days ago and i had the heat on in my car while i was doin it.. and i felt it all coming out by the bumper.. so i said what the hell? and sure enough theres some weird vents on the bottom of the hatch that were letting all of the air out..
and ive closed my doors with the music up and its still pretty audible so it must be leaking pretty bad.

BUT like i said i still have a hard time believing he heard it with windows up on a highway with a sealed VR too.

a friend of mine just got a $45 sound violation ticket AND a $115 Illegal Window Tinting ticket...and the weird thing is he has 2 sony xplod 12's in a bandpass box....pre contstructed at that.... with only 800w.... it confuses me how much cops can be a-holes...

Wow... they're 800w peak too arent they?... that's wierd. My friend has Xplod's. =P

i dunno. its 2 of them on 800w. not 800w each. he thinks it is loud. i told him wait untill i save up enough money for my avalanche 15 and ED NINe.1. then wait untill i can get a 2nd ED NINe.1. Not only will i have 100% better SQ i will be ALOT louder.

Was this simply because of the amount of airspace he had to work with and possibly having like 4 subs in there? Or did he just invest in some really loud subs.

err.. i had sony explod subs before, just because they can't work with their rated power doesn't automatically mean they suck, i got them for $55 each and they were decent in a sealed box

they also sound like shit in high excursion, they also have very weak suspensions and motors. all in all they are crap IMO.

Agreed. I don't care for them too much, I know people with them..

I never saw the setup

I was pulled over about 4 months ago for having the bass "too loud." I was about 5 blocks away from a local hang out spot and saw about 15 people start looking... :) I drove past it with the bass up, and then shut it off cause my head hurt....I drove another 5 blocks to a stop sign and turned to head home...Then I saw a cop sitting off the road with his lights on...hmmm ok...I drive past and he hits the siren...great! :( He pulls me over and was like "so...I heard you coming and noticed you shut off your system as soon as you saw me." Actually, I didn't see you untill I turned the corner officer....he started saying how I should keep it down and it wasnt late enough to be given a disturbing the peace ticket...then another officer pulled up and told the other officer to back off! :) lol, I knew him...than they started asking about my system...brand and power....started talking about cars and music...it was probley the first time that I wasn't mad about being pulled over. Got lucky that time. Next day I got pulled over on a back road out of town that changed from 25 to 55, got pulled over 1/2 block from 55 sign going 55 in a 25........grrrrr thats when I found out my exhaust was too loud, stereo was too loud, plates were expired and was going too fast. I was thinking you're too old officer! Guess my luck ran out. :)

I never saw the setup

So it could be any number of setups really, right?

yeah, probably some bandpassed audiobahns with the way systems run around here...but who knows

Yea a kid i know with 4 audiobahn aw1805q's sealed off and overrated 8000wrms can be heard with his wondows down on the freeway..... not very loudly though.

HERE IT IS, THE LATEST AND GREATEST.
FORGET THE "WEBIK" LETTER.
FORGET THE "DANGOPAY" MAILER.
FORGET THE OLD "PAYPAL LETTER."
NO MORE $6 TO $6000 BY MAIL.

NO SCAM, NO SPAM, NO PYRAMID.
THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL AND LATER I WILL EXPLAIN WHY. THIS IS A BRAND NEW LETTER.
VERY SMALL INVESTMENT (A MERE $5) AND YOU COULD BE RICH!
HOWEVER, IT STILL USES PAYPAL. YOU CAN NOT BEAT THE BEST AND MOST TRUSTED NAME IN ON-LINE PAYMENT SERVICES.


First, go to paypal.com and sign up for an account. It is totally free.
A business account is recommended because it does not have a sending or
withdrawal limit. Paypal says you can even use your name as your business.

https://www.paypal.com

Next, deposit $5 into your new Paypal account. You can do this by adding your
checking account to your Paypal account. (This may take 3-4 days.) Or if you
want to start right away, use your credit or debit card to make the $5 deposit
to Paypal. Paypal guarantees your security when using personal information.
They do not release your information to third parties. Very, very, very, secure!
Take the $5 in your Paypal account and follow these simple steps:

1) Click on the "SEND MONEY" tab

2) Enter the e-mail address in the #1 position

1. [email protected]
2. [email protected]
3. [email protected]

3) Send the $5 to the first e-mail address with an attached note, or a separate
e-mail saying "ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST." This makes it legal so make sure to do it! What you are doing is requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it. *NOTE: YOU MUST PAY OR IT IS STEALING!

4) Copy this letter.
To do this, simply place your cursor at the top of the page, hold it and drag it
all the way down to the end of this letter, which will highlight it. Then click
on "EDIT" and select "COPY." Now open "wordpad" file on your computer and put the
cursor in the top of the page in the notepad. Then click on "EDIT," then select
"PASTE." This will copy the letter onto your computer. Be sure to save this
letter as a text file. Now remove the #1 e-mail address and move #2 and #3 up a
position, and list your e-mail address as #3.

5) Then send an e-mail to the third position (3rd e-mail) saying
"THANKS, I'VE JOINED." This also makes this legal so make sure to do it!

6) Log on to YAHOO, GOOGLE or any other major search engine, and search for message boards or forums. The chat rooms or message boards don’t need to be relevant to making money. You can post them at other frequently read message boards as well such as parenting, sports, auto, games, etc – there is a message board for about every single subject out there. When you reach a search engine, type in “_______ message boards” or “_______ forums” where the blanks could be any of the previous subjects or any that you have come up with on your own. Post this letter in at least 150-200 of these message boards and news groups (you might have to sign up for some in order to post). You might be wondering whether there are enough forums out there to post in. Make sure your email address is in the #3 position. It is very important that you post as many as possible, because the more you post, the quicker your name will move up the list. When your name reaches the #1 position, is when you start bringing in the BIG BUCKS!!

Now just sit back and watch your Paypal account grow!!!

Good luck and make lots and lots of money!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is how it works:
In order to show how much profit someone can make off of this, I will give you example of how much even the bare minimum can get you. Let’s say that you post at 200 message boards. Every single forum you post in has a lot of people that look at it and many forums/message boards also have many members that go to those forums on a daily basis. Just to show how you could make money even out of the minimum, lets say that each forum/message board has only 10 visitors that ever go to that forum/message board. This number is VERY low, but for the sake of showing how much money one can make, we will stick with it. 10 people for 200 forums or message boards is a total of 2,000 people that have read your message. Out of the 2,000 people that have read your message let’s say that only FIVE people respond. These five then posts in another 200 message boards. That means that your name is now in 1,000 message boards (your email is in the #2 position) that have 10 people per board which means that you have 10,000 people who have read this message with your name on it. Now, keeping with the ratio of 5 people per 200 posts, this time 1,000 people respond. Now, let’s hypothetically say that these 1,000 people all got lazy and only posted in 10 forums. That’s right only TEN forums. That means that your name is on a total of 10,000 forums. Sticking with the ratio of 5 people per 200 forums, only 250 people respond. By this time your name is at number 1. These 250 people will each pay you $5 which means that you get $1,250! You just made $1,245 by doing barely anything! You may be thinking that there aren’t enough forums for this to work but you have to realize that there are many forums or message boards for just about every subject out there so there are plenty of forums and message boards. Now the amazing part is this:

YOU MAdE THIS MUCH MONEY WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT ONLY FIVE PEOPLE CHECK FORUMS. THIS AMOUNT IS VERY VERY SMALL. ALSO, WE ASSUMED THAT SOME OF THESE PEOPLE ARE LAZY AND ONLY POSTED IN TEN FORUMS. IF EVERYONE DOES THEIR JOB AND POSTS IN 200 FORUMS, YOU COULD MAKE MUCH MORE MONEY WITH AN INITIAL INVESTMENT OF ONLY $5!!! YOU ARE ALMOST GUARANTEED TO GET YOUR $5 BACK SO WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE!?

What is your problem? now your going in and ruining good threads....... I was nice the last time..... this time no so please so peacefully jump off a bridge. Thanks and have a nice day....... Mods when you delete his post please delete mine b/c it will no longer be relevant.
