What level do you “jam” the factory radio?

I like it loud, but I don’t wanna blow out these awesome factory speakers I usually jam my radio at 40.

 

around 55 to max

now after Kicker upgrade, 45-55. i need an amp.

 

Off more than it’s on, I like peace and quite, if on prob sports talk radio

 

Forgot to add, I do have the kicker tweets.

 

All the way. The speakers are expendable.

 

Kicker tweets were a good upgrade. same with the rest of the speakers, though sometimes i miss the bass response of the original neodymium speakers. it was a bit more a full soundstage to my ears.

 

Not sure the factory HU can blow Kicker speakers. I doubt it has enough power. However, I usually max out at 35... 38 if I'm feeling rebellious.

 

The sooner you blow the speaker the sooner you will replace them and the head unit that they came with...go for 60, even in parking garages overnight.

 

30 except in early morning when my hearing is still a little more sensitive. Then I am usually at 20.

 

Except when I'm jamming Batushka courtesy of @stun gun.

 

The sweet spot for me has been 34, but some songs sound pretty good at 40.

 

I’ll agree that batushka at wide open radio throttle is terrifying in the morning.

 

It's usually distortion that kills speakers, not power. The OEM head unit puts out ample distortion at high levels.

 

But the viewpoint of spectators is hilariously dichotomous when you roll into the grocery store full metal style, then hop out with your reusable shopping bag.

 

Agree with this 100% I crank tunes I enjoy loud as they can go. I figure if they crap out gives me an excuse to replace with better!
Same reason I always back in so if someone hits my front bumper I will get a steel one sooner

 

Between 15 - 30 (max). And I've upgraded my speakers. Next question: Am I old?!?

 

I am at 12 most of the time and if i really want it loud, then 24ish. If my wife is with me, its like 6-8. Not sure if having the OEM Plus system makes a difference or not.

I must be getting old.

 

Few ways to tell if you’re old.

would you...rather have a sick ass dirt bike? or like...a stupid 401k

 

I guess I must be old then cause its 401k for me.
