Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

In St.Louis (missouri) they are trying to pass a new law regarding car audio.... The Law? No speakers bigger then 10"! If you get pulled over for any reason (not just for having your stereo up to loud) and you have speakers bigger than 10", you get a $250.00 fine and possibly you're car towed.

This has been on the news for the last couple days (fox 2 news I think). I tried doing a search on it and couldnt find anything more about it.

Um ya I would like to see that law stand up in a court.

Its probably a city ordinance and not a real "law" per say...

I believe you are right, and that it was a city ordinance....

Heh... you could do a stealth install... they'd never know. 2 cheapo walmart 10's in a wall with a couple 15's behind it.

Just do an install like mine or OnYrMrks. The only way to see his sub is to pull the car apart, and mine you have to release the back seat using the remote to my car alarm. Either way you won't see the sub unless we want you to.

Don't they have bigger problems to worry about in St. Louis... such as... I don't know... murders, rapes, robbery?

But yeah, those 12" subs are a real societal problem, ya know

You would think so.

Luckly I'm about 60 miles west of stl, so it doesnt really apply to me.

another revenue generating system for them, that's all it is.

I get so tired of hearing stuff like this, they have plenty of police power to enforce this type of stuff. Yet when someone is in your garage stealing your car, they can't seem to get there for a few hours.

Then they have the nerve to want to raise your taxes because they need more police. Then do the guilt thing on you, by saying if the new tax doesn't pass in the election, they'll have to layoff police officers, and that will make the city less safe.

easy problem to solve. so they say nothing over a 10 huh well we got some sound splinters that get pretty loud a JL 8w7 and 10w7 and some w6v2 i know DD has some extreme 10" subs and alot of companys i cant think of right now. so if you have 2 8w7s you should be able to have it as loud as you want then.

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.
