Don't assume they are listening to rap just because you can hear their sub-woofer. I also have a system in my car and rock music does a good job rattling my trunk.

I don't turn my down unless I pull in some ones drive way or it's after 10pm. Mine is not that loud, and my car is sealed up real good. Even wide open you can't hear it outside of the car unless you are standing right next to it unless a door or window is open.

I know the type you speak of though, and agree on all points. My buddy has a stereo that sounds like crap but it's loud, he has been known to pull in to parking lots with it wide open and leave it on while he's in the store. I don't see the point in this, imho the less people that know about it, the less people out there looking to steal it.

People like this give people like me a bad name, there are plenty of guys out there will loud systems and you'll never know about them. The reason is they only turn it up at comp and in areas where it won't bother anyone.

My buddy is like this, and he's always needing to test something new. He lives with 7 houses right next door so I let him come up here to the farm and test in the middle of one of our fields.
