Re: [alfa] RE: CAR Stereo Solutions

[Benjamin Kaupp <bkaupp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am 19 years old. I had a 10 speaker custom system in my little street 
racer Audi. Does that make me (as you so eloquently put it) a diaper 
boy? The only person who ever commented on my stereo was a police 
officer who asked which CD I was listening to because he'd never heard 
of the band. I know you weren't attacking me personally, but as one of 
the only spokespeople on the list for the diaper boys, I must at least 
point out that not all car stereos are used in anger. Yes I am a member 
of the IASCA. Yes I drool on the 21" subwoofer Hertz recently released. 
Yes I'm going to have an obscene amount of speakers and amps and 
subwoofers in my Range Rover. But, having been a diaper boy for nearly 
20 years, I also know when I'm pissing people around me off, and when 
I'm showing my pride and joy to friends and rivals. Nobody ever screams 
about free flow exhausts on harleys (or spiders, for that matter) but 
people take one look at the sub box in my trunk and immediately hate my 
car. Okay, my turn to end rant (I really hate it when I check my email 
at work... I have nothing better to do than respond) (oh, and sorry for 
the strange flow of the writing... I'm done with school, I don't have 
to be eloquent anymore)

I guess my point, in a more concise form, is that having a stereo in 
your car doesn't mean you're going to be blasting it.
