Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 158 Registered: Nov-05 | only story I have is when I went to a local store to pick up a wallet.. I pulled up in my car which didn't have the greatest system, 2 10s and 2 12s all MTX.. yeah you guys do not like MTX but it sounded damn good. they we the old series so idk much difference between those and the new. anyway.. before i even got out of the car to go in all of the employies greated me outside because they wanted to know what was going on. The owner said stuff off his desk in the back were starting to fall off. It was a smaller store so I suppose its no big deal. Just kinda made me laugh. at least i got me a new wallet from that trip  as far as tickets.. have not got one yet but ive been pulled over for breaking city ordinance for my car being too loud, got a warning, whoooo |

Gold Member Username: Sploosh56Ohio Post Number: 1067 Registered: May-04 | i used to have a pair of 15" kicker comps that I would pound all the time and never once got a ticket or a call on me. First day that I got my 2 10" infinity's in a ported box I got acall on me and that cop wasn't to pleased when he pulled up. o well |
|
Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 937 Registered: Aug-05 | Hey, B, how much are the TSX's? I'm looking at adding that to my list of possibilities. 2 12" RE SE's 2 12" DD Audio 2500's 2 12" AA Aresenals 2 12" Treo TSX's But I need to know the price of the TSX's. |
|
Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 417 Registered: Sep-05 | Kevin.. I have got 2 warning b4, in a small town. But none with this system. Good thing u got a warning though... The other warning, I lied & told the cop, he pulled the wrong car, cause I dont have a system! Then I kept hitting the OFF buttton (power) to show him it wasnt hooked up. Im thinking of adding a kill switch to my system again.... Wahl.. lol, sweeeet |
|
Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 418 Registered: Sep-05 | sweeet... I lost the damn price list.. maybe someone else has it. I paid 420 for pair @ my local dealer. but i dont think u will find that price again. But it is something to consider... www.treoonline.com Treo must be bought from the local dealers. Call them from the # on the web site. I have NO complaints... Plenty enough for me. |
|
Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 938 Registered: Aug-05 | Ah, that kind of stinks...The other brands I can order online/phone from the company. I doubt there's a Treo dealer within 50 miles of where I live... |
|
Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 420 Registered: Sep-05 | I think they can help u over the phone. Just call them and find out. Maybe 1 closer than u think!! The store I got mine from, u wouldnt even think, they sell TREO in there! lol |

Gold Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 1061 Registered: Jan-05 | my friend with the shockers broke a window in my old school, my school was like 100years old, no sh!t, anyways i was in english and he was on lunch bumpin around town you can hear him about 2-3blocks away so every1 in class heard him coming then when he got right beside the school, the window started vibrating like crazy then all of a sudden it just fell out, every1 in class was like holy sh!t, and ran to the window which was laying on the ground in a million pieces, the school called the cops, and he got a ticket, and the only reason they didn't take his system was because he said he would pay for a new window and have it installed. it was pretty intense. |

Silver Member Username: Kwrubel21Shelby Township, MI United States Post Number: 140 Registered: Dec-05 | i set off my first car alarm the other day. i was bumpin on my way to school, when i saw my friend walking in. i just waved to him, and when i passed, i looked in the rear view mirror(which was rattling terribly)and he was just standing looking at me. so i parked, noticed a car flashing and beeping, and he was like "dude, that started going off when you drove by it." and i just smiled at him. |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 1832 Registered: Oct-05 | well one time my friend wanted to show off his system and when he cranked up the volume, the damn amp went in to protection after a couple of bumps. there was like more than 20 people there surrounding his car and everybody was laughing. |

Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 432 Registered: Sep-05 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ lol these small towns get a fitt, when the music is too loud... I live in a pretty big city, so I can pull behind a cop BASSing and he wouldnt think much of it. But if I drive 45 miles the other way and do that; its a totally diffrent story! 1st strike: warning/verbal/written 2nd strike: 150 3rd strike: double 4th strike: NO SYSTEM-> Police Auction Scott: I have 2 TREO TSX 15s in a 7&1/2 cubic ft ported box which take up my entire trunk space! 1 PRD1000.1 AMP / 1 PR200.2 AMP CLICK on my NAME. You will see everything I got... HO alt is a big pluss also.. |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 4760 Registered: Jul-05 | i just demoed my stuff 2 a guy who goes spl comps & b4 he even heard it he asked if i really did it so neat . He was SHOCKED ! - He even said its hard 2 breath sitting inside my ride & he's even more accustomed 2 loudness than me . ok now - how do i 'sound deaden' a steering column , sun visors & part of the headliner ! - LOL cause i cranked it up a bit harder than i usually do & both started shaking noticebly ! ...i'm just messing around , it really does do that but i can't take that spl 4 more than 30 secs so i normally play it moderately -lol....... ================================================== hey B - r those premier speakers putting out enough 2 keep up with the bass of ur 15s ???....... |
|
Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 435 Registered: Sep-05 | lol, I bet it was hard to breathe in that hatch.. lol Rovin, its trying, but I can drown em out if I try.... lol The premier 4ways in the back is loud!, I think they eat all the power for the 3ways in the front. I need more coming from the front... Maybe some components coming this summer to put in the dash!! I also have 2 tweeters in the back, that kicks also.. But dont get me wrong, If i cut the bass, them things do SCREAM. Hey Rovin whats the price of GAS down there????? Just curious.. |

Silver Member Username: LanzarchampBakersfield, California United States Post Number: 283 Registered: Sep-05 | yesterday i was driving by a high school like the side where all the soccer fields and stuff are, the line was backed up cuz it was lunch time and i was bumping my system and all the kids that were playing stopped and just kept starring it was awesome for some lanzars, then when i got done playing i turned it down to see a cop lighting me up, pulled me over but ended up giving me a warning i lucked out. |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 1840 Registered: Oct-05 | okay like half an hour ago i had to go to the store real quick. i was bumping my system louder than usual. after about 10 seconds i hear loud plastic rattling noise. so i got out to examine the noise and it was my tail light. i broke a plastic piece inside my tail light. i have to put my stock tail lights back on now. it sux but what can i do. |
|
Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 439 Registered: Sep-05 | ^^^ Chad I feel you. lol its funny, but I did the same thing when I had my 12s. That is still part of my rattling in my car. I have to replace the whole light assembly. I will show it in the pics, when I post my system in braggin area later this week. Mine broke in the middle, and on the end of the trunk. lol Chad, what may have broke it, is that it was too tightly screwed!!! <-that was my problem also. So the Bass made it FLEX... Eddie, good thing was just a warning... =-) If a cop pulls me, I am going to ask him how much DB I was hitting! He better have a number. Cause its BS they can pull u with factory radio. I dont think it will stand in court with a good lawyer, if that came down to it. |

Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 441 Registered: Sep-05 | holy shhhhh.... High compliments to the police, city council, and citizens of Lorain, Ohio. You are setting a good example, for the entire nation, of how to deal with the obnoxious boom car menace. Boom car boys, this is your future !  |

Silver Member Username: Camaro823British Colu... Canada Post Number: 266 Registered: Jun-05 | I'll tell ya about being pissed, when i first got into car audio, I knew nothing and was told to buy type r's, so i bought one and within a week it was gone, stolen right out without even being broken in. So I thought I wouldn't spend as much and go for type s and a couple months later they were gone. Now my insurance won't cover it anymore and i can't stand just speakers so i'm, now and for awhile now using type e's......pretty lame a ss town if u ask me. |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4236 Registered: Jun-04 | get some speakers installed that they cant remove build them into your doors or back deck then bolt them down with different type heads if you build the speakers into the back deck make the enclosure hang underneath leaving no clearance forcing them to go from the back window put grill covers on and make them different type heads as well.....anything that will make it take them a long time to get out what they want |

Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 944 Registered: Aug-05 | Well, I still have my permit (no laughing, I'm 18 too lol) but the other day I was sitting in the Kroger parking lot, playing Throw It Up. Even with my Volfs. the bass is pretty dang loud, and this girl in my driver's ed class (yes, just finished it as a senior the other day) who doesn't like me, pulled up with her mom, and she gave me a dirty look. One of those "Yea, just because you've got a nice system doesn't mean you're cool." Needless to say she's driving like a 96 Grand AM, with everything stock... |
|
Silver Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 945 Registered: Aug-05 | Another one is, I was the first at my school (1200 students) to have Volfenhags. One kid made fun of mine saying they don't hit as hard as Sony's do. Well, it's been about 5 months now, and Volfenhags are the big rage at my school now lol. That's why I was able to sell mine hehe. There's about 6 kids with them now. Wait till they see the SE's. They'll be like "WHERE's THE COLOR AND THE CHROME?!?!?" "Those suck, they don't LOOK cool." I'll hear a lot of that, until they HEAR them. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4237 Registered: Jun-04 | ok Heres mine I used to have a audiobahn immortal quad voice coil 12 running off a mtx 81000d at 1500 rms and I pulled up to the gym I go to and out comes the lady from the desk with this smile on her face. I said yes becuase she said something to me i couldnt make out right away and she said was that you? I said what she said that music. I said yeah why I just pulled up. She said you were shaking stuff on the front desk when you pulled up. I laughed and said really. I said sorry she said no its ok I just wanted to know what it was. This was in my 95 monte carlo z34 I had my windows partially down I think and my sunroof open. when I pulled up. i guess the reason I was able to do that was because that thing hit hardest down low 36 hz was my loudest frequency It would actually visably shake my headunit in the dash. My other complaint was when I was running my two 6.5 inch tangbands on 140 rms total in my abc box and had the system up about 2 thirds and had my windows down while I was in a traffic line waiting for a train to pass and a guy yelled out his window up to me "turn it the f u c you add the next letter down. I chuckled inside later but at the time he ticked me off so i turned it up as loud as i could paly it without distortion. Later on I told my buddies in our car club the story they smiled. |
