Muffling the Boom Cars
</hdr>
<body>
<p> The hills are alive with the sound of music--and folks
from Florida to Hawaii have had just about enough of it. Many
communities have decided that so-called boom cars, with their
high-power and multispeaker stereo systems, pose an increasing
threat to health, safety and sanity. The response: local laws
tailored to tone down the boom-car boom.
</p>
<p> In Fort Lauderdale the racket from a boom car is illegal if
it can be heard beyond 50 ft. from the vehicle. In California a
similar law went into effect Jan. 1. Car-stereo merchants seem
to think customers will have just as much fun without pumping
the volume to law-breaking--not to mention earsplitting--levels. Remarks Stephen Seidl of Fort Lauderdale's Speaker
Warehouse: "We advise our clients not to abuse the power."
