tnr Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Was going to ask in your Amp Shopping post how far away your neighbors were when your db meter was at 106. Good that you left on good terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Was going to ask in your Amp Shopping post how far away your neighbors were when your db meter was at 106. Good that you left on good terms. Iv only been doing short crank ups, adjust the many knobs on the active crossover unit, and then turn it right back down,. maybe two min max. Kind of takes the wind out of your sails for a bit. Heading to the pub, im sure with a libation or four, i'll get my balls back today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hmmmm... what levels are you guys listening to your music at? My peak so far was 106 Db for two min. Have not even had it half way as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnr Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 We don't have that problem anymore since we moved to the country 14 years ago. My neighbors are far away. So much, that American Family Insurance would not insure our house because it can't be seen by any neighboring houses. We have a whole new set of challenges. Keeping bats & bees out of the house. Opossums and coons digging in the stable, and this morning a dumb azz squirrel digging in a window well. Where's Elmer Fudd when you need him?

When it's quality, every octave tuned to perfection, you dont even notice the volume, just sounds like the band is right in front of you.

minermark Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 It's about time rookie. I've had the police here twice. Rock and Roll !!!!! In a way im glad they come over in person to vent, the cops never tell you who your "Gladis Cravites" is, so you never know who you pizzed off. Im just amazed it was from four doors down, witch tells me everyone closer does not mind so much, the lady across the street is the only one who has ever said anything, and when she did, she said she "Liked" my music! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 My closest neighbor is my father in law (250 yds?), and every in a while he'll text and ask what im watching when i have a movie cranked up. But he does the same thing when i go out back and shoot clay, asking if he can come join. I turned him onto a pair of RF-82's last fall and he loves to jam his bluegrass and Hendrix, so he gets it. Any other neighbors are too far away, or i just don't care. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted August 23, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 23, 2014 We are looking for our next/last retirement home in Nevada, the wife wants the outback too. Great idea..................says your neighbors By the time your done with you speakers the neighbors may take up a collection to help ? You really need to get out of the subdivision and have some space, at the rate your going with audio, a lot of space, room for a landing strip would be nice also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 the cops never tell you who your "Gladis Cravites" is That's true. The best party we had here was when one on my co-workers knew the police dispatcher. Whenever there was a complaint, he'd get a text and we'd throttle down a little while. Worked great. When I have get togethers, it's always during the day so I really don't know what the issue is. There's lawn mowers that are more annoying than we are but different strokes I gueess. We always shut it down around dusk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Any other neighbors are too far away, or i just don't care. i’ve been meaning to say something; but, you seem to be enjoying your music too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 just sounds like the band is right in front of you and sometimes they are … that’s when you really test your friendship with the neighbors.Early 80s i lived a few doors down from this band … they had an open door policy, you could just walk in, no knocking required. one particular evening, the stereo was on -- no live music being played. Not sure where in the house we all were; but, the neighbor (not on the friend list) just walked in and turned it down and walked out.
