When it's vitally important that everyone listen to your music with you

At least in my experience on a bike or scooter if you actually aim the speaker at yourself you don't need to turn it up that loud and people for the most part will hear it for two seconds when you go by.

Generally its a safety thing i wouldn't recommend riding in thailand with headphones and much less recommend driving with "loud pipes save lives" pipe and a 700 watt music system blaring. Well, not anywhere but especially not here. Its not that you always would hear the trucks etc but its just a statistics game.

They fine you for a too loud pipe here though and well with music it just depends in the context its blaring in, in the west neither complainers or blasters tend to not care about the context as much as their perceived right to play it or not have to listen to it

The 700 watts is off a harley fb page thread, the guy was non jokingly saying you need at least an amp with 700 combined as minimum, for speakers aimed at your head from like 70cm.

Oh yeah, I don't turn my speaker up all that far, it's borderline background noise.

I just find it obnoxious that everyone whines about a bike, scooter or motorcycle with speakers but no one really whines about people in convertibles blasting music in the summer which I see often enough where I live.

"but no one really whines about people in convertibles blasting music in the summer which I see often enough where I live."

Because that's just how it is. No matter what, cars will rarely get flak for anything but the majority of people will be quick to jump on the bandwagon to whine about smaller non car modes of transporation regardless of the topic.

loud speakers save lives because you surely can't hear that exhaust

We've had middle-aged men on Honda Gold Wings sharing their music on the street since the Eighties. But they seem to be dying off without any successors.

in detroit you get these middle aged dudes on a polaris slingshot tricked out with tons of LED lighting blasting their music at window rattling levels

Those polaris things are neat in and of themselves. But they seem to attract the most obnoxious, tasteless individuals.

Never before or after in my life have I heard Sweet Child of Mine sound like it's being played through the world's largest cellphone speaker since being passed by an attention seeking guy in a Polaris
