    Mmm... daft punk!

    I once lived in a big apartment complex, and on a random sunday morning, around 9am, someone/somewhere was blasting this crappy eurotrash techno. *bump,bump,bump,bump* was all we could hear. It wasnt that loud, but was loud enough to wake us (roommates and I ). We were hung over and unhappy.

    I walked out to the living room, loaded my Bass Mekanik (yes, spelled right) cd into my Pioneer/Nuance system, with 4- 10" powered subs, and proceeded to rattle the plates in my kitchen. (And probably half the buildings kitchens also) After about 1 minute of this, I stopped.

    Total silence after that.

    A few years back, living in eastern Oregon, I had a neighbor decide he wanted to "bass it up". I let it go for a while, but he kept turning it up and up.

    Finally, my roomie and I turned on all 9 speakers (something we had never done before) and put in a soundtrack called "feel the bass".

    Suffice it to say that between the 2x 15" studio monitors and the 12" center channel sub, he was over within minutes saying we were knocking stuff off his walls... and we hadnt even turned the speakers to face the walls yet.


    Let me tell you, playing (at the time, top of the line) Mechwarrior: Mercenaries on a 500w 9 speaker surround sound system is awesome. You FEEL every step the mech took.

    i used to have a sexy setup,

    Two 8" subs, each @ 400w RMS, four 6" Tweaters @ 300w and Six 5" Mids @300w, and all were power to there max, asin if i wanted 400w through the subs, i could give each 400watts, likewise for all the other speakers, needless to say, all this was run through a ****tly stack stero system. if i rem correctly, the first time i turned them on, i had single pane glass in my living room, turned them to max, played pink floyed, first drumb beat came, cracked the window rite accross.

    Nice.

    Oh, and in your sig, if you watched TSAH2 like I think you did, it's "It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum... and I'm all out of gum!" or something like that, lol. /OCD

    I had a particulary nasty run in with a neighbor several years ago. The guy would fire up his table saw at 3 am just to see who he could piss off. After about 2 weeks of this, I ran wires out to his house and arranged my big PA speakers to be right under his bed pointing up (the house he was squatting in is on my property line and I can get under the house from my side). He usually slept when most of the 'hood was at work (when he wasn't video taping our houses through the windows), so on this day I was at home and waited until I knew he was sound asleep, I put on some Tupac and fired up my Rane amp and bounced his house with 300 watts per channel. I never heard him fire up _any_ tools after 10pm after that. I honestly think he **** himself that day. My neighbors were in awe at how loud those speakers were and it's become a joke (many years later), not to mess with the Tracy's or you'll go deaf. Hehe. Still makes me smile.
