any BASSHEADS here? What was in your ride?

[video=youtube;YGgwcU5683M]

I had 2 JL Audio 12W1s in a sealed box (me and my friend made it ourselves). Later on I changed to one 12W6, also in a sealed box.

Clarion receiver (removable faceplate SUCKA) and to power it I had a Precision Power amp. Satellites were Clarion at first, then replaced them with MQ Quart coaxials. In a Honda Accord coupe.

Pretty middle of the road system. Used to always bump down Broadway and in the Tower Records parking lot at Beaverton Mall on the weekends with the homies. Good times.

I lived in the Suburbs.

My Honda was completely stock, minus the BOOM.
 
Just giving you shit.

I couldn't even tell you what I had. Mostly odds and ends friends gave me via trades and shit, or hand-me-downs. It was mostly midlevel in terms of product quality (i.e. I wasn't rocking super-expensive shit), but the sound was loud, crisp, clear, and the bass so nice it'd hit the ground clean. Looking back on it, today's me would have slapped the fuck out of that me - it was rather obnoxious. Don't get me wrong, I like my music loud, crisp, and clear, but the bass was excessive.

My deck was pretty sick, though. It was the one expensive component I had. It was some $900 Sony I got for Christmas/doing a huge house project one year. It was awesome, had great power, had the 6-disk changer in the trunk, and the screen that had various moving images and colors.

Drivin down broadway in your Cabriolet bumpin' some Ace of Base cuz they're the titz!
 
Those were good days. Racing all the Indians in souped up BMWs from PSU. haha. we were such assholes.
 
I had a full size stand up bass that was made in the 1860's that my parents rented for $8 a month from this old lady when I was in junior high through high school. I played it in the Portland Youth Philharmonic, when my parents moved out to the burbs I joined the junior high jazz band so I drilled the bridge of the bass to put an electrical pickup in it. Sounded sweet. I picked up a used Fender Mustang, nice bass. Then in high school I had to take shop class, so I built my own electric bass body. Solid rosewood in a take off of the flying V shape. For an electric bass it was big and heavy but it turned out awesome! Installed some Demarzio pickups and this sweet Fender Jazz Precision neck on it. That bass was the shit! People loved it, had a lot of offers to buy it. It got stolen my junior year down at UofO. Still pisses me off. Now I just have this used Yamaha bass. It sucks compared to the basses I had but still fun to plunk on now and then.

Ha. Yeah. I always thought of those assholes as total d-bags. And I was friends with a bunch of those types.

But the dudes at PSU in souped-up BMW's and the like were sometimes worse. They weren't all Indians. Lots of individuals from the Middle East (a lot of Persians). They were such an elitist crowd, and I was pretty good friends with some of them. They'd come to my shit when I had something organized (or if my friends had something big poppin'), but I was rarely included when they had something going (had to be Persian to be included). Ahh... the good ol' days of PSU.
 
I love it when people are stopped at a red light with just there music blaring and they wear ear plugs.

I used to have specific tracks to maximize the distance the sound travels. They had these sub-bass frequencies as well which you really couldn't hear at all but you could feel. It would vibrate shit inside someone's house if you were outside.
 
I got a ticket once but it got dismissed because the cop didn't show to court.
 
I was pretty into car stereo systems for awhile. I had a pretty nice system in my Tahoe. I was typically more concerned with really good sound quality over blow-your-brains-out bass.
 
We cranked this awful shit in high school

Old NWA was dope. I remember a few times cops harassing us when we were 17-19. Or a group of friends as we drove by. We'd be blasting "F___ the police".

I still remember those "ghetto bass" CD's that were like weak-ass raps over heavy bass, so if you had a nice system, it would maximize the bass. They'd have some cheesy-ass dude on the cover, like smoking a cigar and wearing a big gold chain right next to a big ol' round ass.
