Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 3851 Registered: Oct-05 | i admit i like to bump my sh!t loud so others can hear sometimes too. i just don't do it where its going to disturb anyone. looks to me like your amp isn't putting out enough power. alot of off brand amps can put out more power than the sony amps. i used to own a sony explode amp before and that thing sux. also which jl sub is it? alot of the jl subs are sq subs so they will sound nice and loud inside but less outside. unless you have a 12w7. but then again you would be seriously underpowering that sub. |

The other day this old bat was in from of me and I didn't even have it loud but the bass carries easy from my car, she kept inching forward to try and get away but the light was red. This lady went so far into the intersection the on-coming traffic was beeping at her and made her back the fck up. When she got back by me I rolled the windows down and played My Throwback by Franchise boyz. That b!tch just stared at me so I gave her the one finger salute, lOl...Polo.. |

Silver Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 975 Registered: Jan-06 | Here is a story, non-bumping one but funny, kinda. I have a sister in law who is hot, I have liked her for a long time and she likes me too. When I was with my X girlfriend she wanted for her an I to start screwing around, we got drunk and had some fun. Soon she introduced me to her best friend where my sister in law wanted to loan me out to her for a HIT AND RUN thing, you know. I did, we had A LOT of fun and she said that to my sister in law. Well one night we were all over by my sis in laws and she started grabbing on me in front of her GF, felt a bit uncomfortable because I didn't want any jealousy because this nice thing may stop. I decided to play along and soon enough all three of us are going at it, WHAT A GREAT NIGHT! After about 6 mos of doing this jealousy set in and they wanted me to stick with one or the other, I went with sis in law, lol. This lasted for another 2 years until I met my wife then I stopped for a couple of months. Sis in law decided to call me out of the blue, so we hooked up and it was better than ever, really missed her! This went on for about another year, I know I am a pig. Through all of this my sister in law had given me a key to her apt where I would sneak in at night or when I got a b00ty call. Eventually it got to where my wife had been asking too many Q's so I cut it out. Well it was like 6 mos that went by and I got drunk so I decided to travel the 40 miles to stop and see her ;) . I got there around 2am and slipped up the back stairs to the 3rd floor. I opened her apt up and snuck in, found my way in the dark to her room. I peaked in there noticing what looked like a body, so I removed some clothing along with my shoes and slipped in between the covers. I noticed something was wrong when all of a sudden, SOME DUDE JUMPS UP YELLING, WTF!!!!! I jumped up too hitting the lights and saw she had company over. I guess in the past 6 mos she had been datingthis guy and I had to explain my reason/intent of me being there and what her/I had been doing. He got pissed, because I look like a male stripper in my boxer briefs and I guess he fealt a little inadequate, so he left... She was sooo pissed off at me that she tried to kick my @ss. I quickly asked her" well since I am here, could we?" I got that look of death, got dressed and left, lol. To this date, NOTHING... Polo.. |
