I'm not sure why anyone wants others to hear what they've got? I turn my stereo up on the highway, but in town I turn it down because there's a lot more going on around me that requires more attention, and if I'm in a parking lot, stop light, or such I turn it almost off. Not only do I not appreciate others that blast their music unecessarily, but I'm not interested in sharing my stereo equipment with the local thugs either.
