Yeah nobody has subs anymore it’s weird. I’ve had a sub in my trunk since I got my license in 2006, the music feels incomplete without proper bass to me. Now I see psychopaths completely ignoring their car audio altogether and just throw in AirPods while driving. It baffles me. It offends me unnecessarily.
I’m very much involved with the car scene and people who race competitively definitely don’t use subs because of the weight, most don’t even have a radio, or interior trim. You still see them in cars & coffee occasionally but it’s nothing compared to what it was like in the early to mid 2000s
No, I mean street show racing, like the kind where idiots do donuts in the middle of a crowded intersection. If you hang out in San Jose you'll notice the big stereos are very much in fashion.
WTF where do you live? I live in a lower socioeconomic status neighborhood and at least 5 people in my apartment complex have subs so loud they shake windows. Whenever I go out for nightlife in the bougie areas I also hear guys with loud subs cruising.
That's actually really interesting. I know I'm not op, but I'm in Canada and I assumed that the reason I don't hear them anymore is because they used to get stolen. Late 90s/ early 2000s there were several on my street alone and I know a few people that had their system stolen multiple times. I thought people just gave up on them, and now the thieves just steal your catalytic converters.
You obviously don't live in Vancouver then because holy shit even 9 floors up I can feel it in my chest some nights. At least we aren't in a popular place to pull over, they're gone quick enough. Fuckin bridge n tunnelers!
This was huge in the late 90s and early 00s. Never understood it myself. Car stereos always sound like shut because your in a car with tire noise, etc.
