In Reply to: OT....Truck Stereo Questions posted by MCL on December 05, 2011 at 05:07:01:

It's not just the kids nowdays that have the boom boom, we had it back in the 80's when we were kids too. I had a buddy that had a Dodge truck he had put a stereo system in that included pretty much all the bells and whistles. It was as loud and booming as any other system around. Funny thing is this guy hated rap, or anything else that was not COUNTRY for that matter. I used to get a kick out of it when he'd pull up beside some other kid playing his rap crap what he thought was 'loud and proud'. Greg would simply pull out his best country tape and plug it in, and turn it up......Hank Jr sounds pretty good LOUD too....LOL.

Seriously what your son is wanting isn't going to be cheap if you do it right. One thing to not cheap out on for sure is the speakers. If you do put in a sizable amp, etc then the speakers are going to be the weak link and you can easily 'blow them out' if they aren't capable of handling all your sending to them. That said a decent stero system is all anyone needs, regardless of what he might want. Not intending to step on your toes as a parent here, but an extreemly loud stereo is bad for the hearing, as well as unsafe when driving. Personally, regardless of what he wanted, I wouldn't waste the money to put a system like that, in a truck, for a 16 year old that still has all of his hearing and is just learning to drive. Get him a nice, quality stereo, a couple of nice speakers, and that'a all he'll ever need. That's all I've got in my '88 Camaro and though I'm just shy of 44 now, that type system will get as loud as I can stand now, even with some prior hearing loss, and as loud as I would have ever wanted it when I was 16. The really nice thing is that it does it all while retaining a good quality sound without alot of buzzing, static, etc from the speakers being overloaded, and it didn't break the bank to put it in.

That said, tell him if he's going to spend money on a truck, spend it making both more functional and better looking. That will attract more girls than a loud stereo ever could....And what young guy isn't in to 'more' girls more than they are a loud stereo???...LOL

Today's Featured Article - Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to ... [Read Article]
