maxmar04 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Hi, i just got my first sound system and im loving it but i was wondering what the legal amount of time to blast music to in Florida is (if there is one). i was just curious because i saw an ad on a website about how playing your system too loud is illegal and is considered a noise nuisance. they called them "boom cars" Im in the delray/boca (south FL) area if it helps. thanks Quote 2 12" DC level 4's 4 hertz HSK 165 2 way speakers 1 mmats 3000.1D 1 memphis 16-mc4.75 3 batteries ( 2 V MAX CT 800's) all 0 and 4 gauge memphis wiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 the only "rule" we go by on here (for real bass heads) is to not play it full tilt at a stop light or in stop and go traffic, and dont play it at night in neighborhoods (or neighborhoods in general). but usually, when you see a cop, turn it down, then turn it back up.

This.

I do know that your car can only be so loud before getting pulled over. Also, some state laws require that the music shouldnt be heard over a certain distance. Problem is, the distance is usually something pretty small, something maybe even a stock speaker system could violate. Just be smart and only bump when moving fast and not when stopped or in busy neighborhoods.

95_1500 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) Not sure about on your private property... If i remember correctly in Florida isnt it like if it can even be heard from the sidewalk they can write you a ticket for it?

Problem is, the distance is usually something pretty small, something maybe even a stock speaker system could violate. here it is 50 feet, 24-7-365. only problem is, if there is low enough ambient noise, you can hear a set of headphones from 50 feet. so technically, you could get a violation for headphones and an ipod. neat little story. i went to the burger king here recently, and there was a local officer in there sitting next to the window beside the drive thru. they told me to pull forward and wait for my food. i pulled forward and had my stereo turned down so low i could hardly hear it in the car. officer came out and said i had my music too loud and he was gonna write me a ticket. i told him that he never heard from over 50 feet away, as he was only 10 feet away when he heard it, and never went any further than 20 feet away when he went to the door. he didnt seem pleased that i actually knew the law. also, if im in traffic and there is someone ahead of me with a cop ahead of them, and a few people behind me, i have been known to blast it for 2 or 3 seconds just to fuck with the cop since he wouldnt be able to prove it was me.

I thought "full tilt" was the point RIGHT before clipping. Either way, this was funny lol Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
