st.louis mo trying to outlaw speakers over 10"!

[OnYrMrk]

you can use multiple 10's to achieve sonic painfullness. How about 8 DD subs with oh I don't know...maybe an Orion 2250sx to each. You stay within their confines (10") and you are hitting hard as hell. This ordinance will never fly. Everyone can get around it. It won't solve anything.

Damn, does anyone know a good podiatrist who moonlights as an Ear/Nose/Throat specialist...

I think I will need getting my foot out of my mouth...

heh... its a dumb ordinance.. but i bring back my issue from another thread of trains, lawmowers, motorcycles, cars/trucks with loud exhausts, etc.

hey i work to reduce the loudess of our mowers everyday!!!

[Darthness]

i don't really car about the lawn mowers... its trains, they come blasting down the tracks at 4 AM right down residential streets. hell im almost a half mile away and i can feel it.

This is, to me, plain out prejudice against my/our hobby AND businesses. The small handfull of "boomers" are what is going to make this law happen. Once it happens there, it'll happen in other areas.
Manufactuers and business owners need to step up to the plate about this. Probably the only way anything against a law like this will happen, cause they don't, or won't, listen to us "little people".

Trains... yea, they do need to do something about that. The horns on the will wake the dead, and they blast them multiple times through out the night. I live about 2 blocks from osme tracks and work right next to some tracks. The constant headaches I get are because of the train horns mostly.

Road construction... We have jackhammers, cranes, and such working on roads at 3am. Residents have complain about them. Nothing has been done about it. WTF????

I can see setting a fine for noise ordinance violations, but just having the equipment.. that's just out right stupid.

I read, somewhere, there is a limitation on how many speakers total in the car. What are they going to do about higher end (exotic) cars that have more than that amount... fine you fo something the factory did? doubt it.

What are they going to do about enclosures that totally hide the subs? Make you take the enclosure apart to prove you only have an 8" RE or 2 in there? Doubt it.

On the plus side, I can see one good thing coming out of this. Manufactuers will basically be forced to make more efficient (hence better) equipment that'll fall within the law, but will be extremely loud. I dunno though.

OK all... this thread is really getting people worked up over nothing...
Read the article here...

It looked to me as I read the article that they are searching for a way to deal with the immature aholes that drive around neighborhoods, & public areas in search of attention. Despite the fact that all of them know that many people find it annoying.

An individuals rights do not end where someone elses begins, and if some are so bent on annoying others to exercise their rights, then screw their lack of considerations for others. They need a big fat fine to go along with the size of their egos for exercising their rights to violate's others... Does this put it in perspective for everyone?

I certainly don't want to hear anyones elses above mine at stop lights or 4way stop signs...etc...

I own two cars both with systems capable of high enough SPL levels to annoy my neighbors... but you don't see me annoying them with my toys just so that I can say I am exercising my freedoms. That would be ridiculous, inmature, self centered & irresponsible.

Reality check... I am going to add Stupid because it is obvious that they are a theft target & can't figure it out...

I'm all for it... if someone gets caought booming in the wrong place... deal with it. Some level of responsibility comes along with the hobby & I agree that a way to enforce it for our youth IS a good idea...

FYI... no law has been passed yet... unless some cares to post a link to more information for the forum to check out...

so you support the bill?! im not saying people should be off the hook for going through neighborhoods blasting music and being a jerk, but limiting it to 300w, 2 amps, and banning certain sized speakers is crazy. Ontop of that, seizing cars for it.

i mean what next, only sealed enclosures?

[Bwcad1]

i try to stay out of these threads but this is stupid its this simple and it seems as if everyone is saying th same thing. its all good that they give people tickets or throw them in jail or impound there car for bein an ahole and waking the neibohrs but there is no reason to outlaw the equipment!!!
