Also ich guck schon mal aus dem Fenster und check, welche wahnsinnigen noch so einen Lärm machen! Es sei denn ich kenn den Klang der Anlage schon! fg

Quoted

scheint wohl auch zu stimmen! Autokauf nach Subwoofereinbaupotential!

Quoted

-you play your system in the driveway and run inside to see whats falling off the walls.


Ist auch sehr nett, ...aber das machen dann schon die Leute im Haus! Mensch Martin kannst mal nicht etwas leiser machen, unser Gläser in der Vitrine bewegen sich! ;) In Werkstätten oder Garagen kann man so einiges fliegen lassen! fg

Quoted

-you have 6 or more subs laying around that are not in use, nor will ever see power.


Naja, auf meinem Dachboden liegt schon noch der eine oder andere Sub auf vergangenen Zeiten rum! ;)

Quoted

-when people talk it sounds like charley brown "wuh wuh wuh"


..smile

Quoted

-you laugh when your mirrors fall off


lach ..Golf 3 sag ich da nur ;) Gott sei dank ist beim 2er Golf alles sehr massiv!

Quoted

-you laugh when people say "i can't breath in this thing! turn it down!"


mmmh ..yep

Quoted

-you find it interesting how bass can make your eyes roll around in your head.


..eine sehr interessante Erfahrung, wenn das Bild verwackelt und Du Dich irgendwie auf die Atmung konzentrieren musst!

Quoted

-you'd rather buy a cheaper car, so you'll hvae more money for a system.


Beim Autokauf wird die Anlage natürlich mit in die Gesamtkosten einberechnet! Eh klar! ;)



..so, nun hör ich aber mal besser auf! Sonst meine die Leute noch wirklich ich sei ein Freak! ;)

Aber am besten hat mir dieser Punkt hier gefallen:

Quoted

-You have a "cop switch" on your amps.


Sowas hätte ich schon öfters brauchen können! Würde helfen Geld zu sparen! ;)

In diesem Sinne ....wünsche ich Euch allen einen schönen Abend!
