Well FYI, I am going to be running a Pioneer AVIC-N2, it has XM satellite instant Navigation, DVD, and the Vehicle Dynamics display, it is modified so that you can still watch a movie while the car is moving. Pioneer dash speakers, kick panel enclousures, and Pioneer 6x9's in the sail panels, with a Pioneer 5 channel amp powering them. For the bass there is 2 Pioneer SPL subs with 2 of the SPL mono block amps. It should be hitting hard enough for me.

Currently:
Alpine CDA-7894 Headunit (FREE)
Zapco 5.25" Components in sealed fiberglass kicks
Alpine Type R 6x9's in Sail Panels
2 10" Custom Hand Made Pro Tech subs with 15" magnets and voice coils

In the near future:
Pioneer AVIC-D2 (building fiberglass center console first)
AutoTek MM1400.1 (Monoblock Amplifier)
AutoTek MM100.4 (4 Channel Amplifier)

Don't boom in populated/residential areas

As most of you have noticed,
the noise ordinances have become much tougher lately.
Most of this is due to idiots, yes IDIOTS, who drive through residential areas with their windows down while their system is playing at full power. To make things worse, the music they listen to has all sorts of foul language that's not suitable for small children, (who may be playing outside). There are even a few people, who are even beyond idiot status, that play their systems at full power through residential areas after 10:00 PM (when many people go to bed). I don't believe that this type of behavior is good for the industry. If the fines get too stiff, people will stop buying large systems. If this happens, more people will get out of car audio (who wants a mediocre system). People get interested in things because they're exciting. A deck and four 6.5" speakers are not going to interest many of the younger car audio enthusiasts. If car audio enthusiasts keep annoying more and more people, the fines will keep getting tougher. All of this will only reduce interest in the equipment that fuels the industry. If you want to listen to your system at full volume, get out on the highway where there's little chance of bothering anyone. When you get to a red light, turn it down. If the only thing attractive about you (or your car) is your 'system', you have some work to do. Bottom line... Think about what you're doing. Think about other people. It's not the end of the world if you have to turn the volume down for a little while.

Taken from bcae1.

Not saying that you guys do that but please don't **** it over for the rest of us. Don’t believe it? Check it out.

Things that will/are getting limited are:
# number of speakers (not just subs and yes components count as two or three seperate speakers)
size of speakers
amplifier power

Thank you for your time

how would you feel if gramps rolled by your house banging some sinatra at 2 in the morning everyday?

brewersprts

True that. People get rediculous. I usually just keep it to a nice level, if you're sitting next to me at a light you might here a lil bass, but prolly not. I turn it down when at my house, when in drive thru lines, all that. It is rare that I actually have it turned up enough to push the subs, or so you can hear me coming. I think bottom line, people need to remember the Golden Rule. When it comes to stereos, burn outs, exhausts, just in general in life.

1meanGTA

you planning on removing the backseat to fit those 4 15's? because thats the only way its going to happen. you'll also need to spend about 500 bucks on your electrical system to power those amps. however if im not mistaken, those 15's are like 3-400 watts rms, you dont need 8000 watts to run 4 of them. one of those 4kw amps would be more than twice as much as you need to run 4 of those. if you were talking mojo 15's, itd be a different story.

also, since you're going to spend about 2 grand on subs and amps to run them, why are you going to run 6x9s and 4x6's off the deck? you wont even hear them over the 15's. invest in a good set of components and some kickpanels, and amp them.

Yeah I have already removed the back seats, I plan using the mojo's. I've been working on fiberglassing the kick panels for some time now and going to amp them I don't run any thing off the deck just been busy laying ever thing out still figuring out to worry about the small thing on my audio list at the moment. The electrical up grades are already underway to meet the power needs.

DISTURBthePEACE

I believe it's in St. Louis that they are trying for a law that limits you to no more than a total of 12" of large speakers (aka subwoofers). If you have more than 12" then they would ticket you. Sucky, huh?

Oh ya, and my system is in the signiture. The box if for SALE!!!! PM ME!!!

i have a thread in Car Audio showing the progress of my new box too

ScrapMaker

how could they POSSIBLY do that?

that's like pre-crime... I mean, if you aren't being inconsiderate to people around you, or abusing your power (literally,) then why should you receive a ticket?

I own a gun. It can kill people, but it doesn't. Should I be charged with murder since I own it, but never fire it?

That's like saying that since my car has 310RWHP that I should get a speeding ticket everytime a cop sees me, (which seems to be the case anyways! ) just because I can speed...

rediculous... that's almost enough to write a congressmen/representative over...

DISTURBthePEACE

Have you heard what they are doing in Texas? Its not car audio related, but its just as stupid as the st. louis thing...they are going into bars and arresting people BEFORE they leave and charging them with drunk and public and something about the possibility of driving drunk...they walked into a hotel bar and arrested 5 people AND the bartender for overserving...and the 5 PEOPLE WERE STAYING AT THAT HOTEL! Completely rediculous. And I guess that it is perfectly legal. They spend a night in jail and everything. Some of the crap states will do...

ScrapMaker

yup I have heard of it... they have done it in Houston, Dallas, and NOW Austin!!!

None of my friends want to go down town anymore... instead we all just play beer pong or go to random parties... since it's cheaper, and safer, it's a win/win situation...

but the TABC thing is a bunch of crap... basically what happened is that the government was gonna shut down TABC for lack of performance/need... so they decided, in a desperate measure, to pull this 'manuever.' Good or bad, it sure brought attention to them... so now they won't be cancelled....

MOST bars are furious, because they have lost a LARGE number of patrons... and hell, people are getting ARRESTED for having less than four beers... wow...

Gummie

I can see both sides of the issue. On one hand I hate it when some punk kid drives by my house with his stereo blasting, especially in the morning. On the other I will be able to break 140 dB with my next system, not that I will ever play it that loud. I don't blast it in residential areas or around other people in general. At stop lights/signs I hit the mute button, etc.

As for the gun comparison, not enough people that own guns shoot people to make it illegal to own a gun but more than enough kids with stereos (even crappy stereos) will drive around town blasting their ****. How many times have you heard someone doing that? It's not the end of the world when someone does that but it's not very considerate either.

From my understanding, cops are not going to be pulling people over checking their equipment unless they’re drawing attention to themselves. Instead of having vague laws which require a decibel meter to enforce, a quick visual inspection is all that is required to write someone a ticket that they won't be able to weasel their way out of in traffic court.

Personally, I would love to see harsher rules implemented for driving as well. Jersey drivers (and NY/PA too) are some of the worst in the world having grown up in Texas. I can't stand driving around here with all the a**holes on the road. Pull more people over for tailgating, failure to stop at stop signs (and red lights), etc.

I do agree on the drinking thing, it is pretty stupid and should be taken to court.
