Car Stereo Run Amok

We often see hear a car drive by and wonder how the person at the wheel can hear anything with the bass and/or guitars blaring at illegal limits; many cities have ordinances against such sound systems. When we see a video like the one above, we really have to wonder.

It seems a Ford Freestyle owner has installed a 17,000-watt sound system into his crossover. Usually the rear compartment can handle five to six humans and their needed gear. Instead, this vehicle can handle no one but the driver and front passenger. The car shakes so violently during the video that the interior panels and roof are moving in a way that makes us think the car is not long for this world.

We’re posting this on the weekend so as not to waste your valuable time at work with it, and in a slight nod to SEMA starting next week.
