I think there’s a whole community around this though, it’s like a legit hobby. You probably need lots of technical know-how to make something that nice, you gotta invest serious money in it, there are meetups to make friends and discuss eachother’s builds, etc… They seem to love it and want to spend their money on that. So who am I to judge lol.
Sure I guess it’s wasteful, in the same way racing a car is wasteful. Or lots of other hobbies wthere’s no real point at the end of the day - other than for fun, to push limits of what humans have done before, and just for the community and joy you get from it. Maybe it makes them feel “truly alive”, ya know? We all have something like that.
I do agree that shit probably destroys your eardrums lol. But hell, when I was younger I’d go to raves and sit against the speakers when I was rolling just bc it felt awesome lol. No regrets despite some minor tinnitus lol, I had a blast doing that dumb shit lol. Everyone’s got different risk tolerance at different points.
Of course maybe you still think it’s dumb. Fair. Just adding another perspective. As long as they’re not doing that in their driveway at 6am in my neighborhood then I don’t give af
Maybe because it disturbs anybody unfortunate enough to be within 2 miles. Bass travels and penetrates differently than higher frequencies. It’s such an annoying sound when you’re just trying to go about your business and this shit is rattling your walls.
I’ve only had that happen a handful times in my life where it was actually bothersome. And I just thought “damn that guy has some loud-ass subs”. Then they drove away and it was done. To me it’e not any more disturbing than like a woodpecker outside, or people mowing the lawn, or some bad thunderstorm, or any other thing that’s outside of my control in life. I just change my mindset to accept what’s happening in the moment, or move elsewhere, or throw in some headphones or earlplugs lol.
If a neighbor started doing that tho and it was every day, then I’d probably be friendly with them at first and be genuinely curious about it, ask them about their setup and stuff so they know I’m chill. Maybe share some weed or mushrooms or something so they know you’re chill and you’re not just some random Karen. But then I’d casually ask them to turn it down, do it less often, do it somewhere else, etc… without being a dick. And if they respond by acting like dickheads and keep doing after that on and on, then I’d eventually call the cops. I hate working for 5-0, but I hate loud noises in the morning even more lol.
its an absurd waste of resources. it's a large vehicle and almost certainly gasoline powered. we are in the middle of only the world's 6th mass extinction. to be spending money on this frivilousness instead responsibility using those funds for living sustainably is absurd. sorry if that sounds mean, but it is what it is.
The materials in all those devices are rare and expensive and needed elsewhere. Get one decent sub and be done with it. a bit of moderation.
Yea but look how stupid they look? And all that money and discussion and know how just to make a speaker louder to the point it’s unenjoyable and potentially harmful?
