a few things... first of all.. you're advertising something thats going to get you put out of business on day? ever hear of the city that tried to ban subs larger than 10", stereos with more than like 5 speakers, and limit the wattage of a system? generally things like this happen because people want to be heard fromo far away, how ever, that is not a good thing... i don't think i've ever seen someone that was impressed because someone with a loud stereo drove by. my car saturn had a good bit of deadening in it, and it was MUCH louder inside than outside,e xactly how it should be. so for my sake, and most of this boards sake, and most people in this hobby... try to come up with anothe marketing technique other than "you'll be heard for blocks"! sheesh!
You have to remember too, that when some young kid or anyone that comes in wanting to buy stuff, what do they first ask about the product: "Does this sub get really loud." Well at least they do around here lol. But whenever we sell items here, we always say to be responsible when using this stuff. Don't be blaring the music at night time or sitting in a residential area or Walmart parking lot blaring the music. We are well aware of the laws in our county and try to let customers know that. And if advertising our business this way is gonna put us out business, then I guess our competition here locally, should have been out of business a long time ago and he does basically the samething we are doing.
And yes, people do want their car to be heard for miles, and no one is teaching them any better. If more shops would take the time to teach people that the more sound you keep in the car, the louder and better it will sound. We wouldn't have half the problems with the laws some places are trying to pass.
Thats the problem with local and state police. They tell us to get a hobby instead of doing drugs and drunk driving and all that so we all get into car audio and they are more focused with busting someone with a loud stereo and tinted windows then they are with druggies and people who like to get drunk and drive home.
