Bass

Impressive from a technological point - only... I do not see value that brings to music. Of course I cannot stand that dinosaur bass BS I hear rolling down the streets of South City at 2am... Maybe if my brain had been sufficiently battered into jelly by being exposed to an unrelenting 808 playing a single sub-sonic note under a mind-numbingly dull "beat" for a few years...:eyebrow:

My friend was one of those guys up until yesterday morning (literally -- he lives in South St. Louis) when his subs got stolen. I hope it wasn't you exacting some revenge. :ninja:

I've found that while powerful subs can make some music sound awful, they're actually pretty cool with a lot of songs. Some music is designed with them in mind, so they're more of an instrument than a horribly unbalanced sound system, and other songs (Mahna Mahna, weirdly enough) just happen to sound good. The effect is totally different inside and outside the car, of course.
