Does anyone know the decibel reading of an xb's stock radio?

 

It would vary too much. Depending upon the source material and if it was up all the way.

Why?

You can also get a decibel reader from radio shack for pretty cheap, and you could always return it too.

 

did you get a ticket or something? Doubt cops would measure the audio output of a sound system, are you swapping speakers?

 

yea I got a ticket, I wanna use a reference telling them how loud my system can get. Imma swap out all my subs etc. and go stock.

 

My stock set up with a single 12" sub once got a reading of 136dbs

 

its pretty hard to fight one of those tickets cause its a noise pollution/violation, I got one a long time ago when I had my RSX-S judge almost laughed in my face, basically if they can hear your system from a certain distance I can't remember the exact estimate but so many feet away its a violation, I will check with by cop bro, and see the exact ruling on it and repost...

 

im in ny and got pulled over for loud stereo, i never have it all the way up. the cop started to give me crap and so i said i can turn it up louder if you would like and at that moment a harley went by and i said so ur telling me that my music is more annoying than that overpriced poluter and he said u have a point and i got out of my ticket, he let me off with a warning and asked me to turn it down. havnt had a prob since and i didnt turn it down.... but yeah if u got the ticket pretty hard to get out of it unless the judge likes loud music lol

 

its 25 feet.... if they are able to hear it 25 feet away u get a ticket.... but still fight it ... i got two and one was thrown away becasue the cop was only 5 feet away from my xb at the time...

 

I know a guy that got a noise violation ticket in his eclipse

get this, he had subs in there yes
no stereo
no amps
no wiring
oh and the kicker, he was in a commercial part of town, judge made him pay $800
