Inside the Underground Siren Scene in New Zealand...

[@djever6056]

That's not just any other DJ. That's 10x world DJ Champion K-Swizz. He recently defended his DMC World title not long ago.

[@GinnyAline_laughs]

Makes sense, as soon as he started it was obvious he's top tier

Respectful? Tell me at 3AM on a Sunday why I can hear zero bass high-pitched 30 second songs blasting out, how is that respectful, doesn't matter what else they do...

[@MrKnightstale]

@10:55 the burning is not due to overpowering the subs, he needs to tune the amp properly, those subs can handle a LOT more 'clean' power, is likely he has the levels and gains turned up to high on the amp, and is pushing the signal into "clipping" or distortion

[@kingdonH3ITLA]

Most of them do that anyways. They get all the gear but have no ideas. Oscilloscopes are cheap but rather do everything by ear.. silly mistakes

[@MrKnightstale]

@@kingdonH3ITLASo true! alas used to see it a lot in the Bass scene also

[@kingdonH3ITLA]

@@MrKnightstale fr.. I’m mean I’m not that rich I only have 2 12 inch JBLs that’s worth $500 but I rather tune it to a point where it’s not obliterating my car into pieces and the box itself so I invested in those cheap liumy graphical oscilloscope off trade me! It works perfect and I’ve done some of the boys cars after smelling the burnt toast 🔊😂

[@Yukanhayt-Mhenow]

I'm a sound guy and everyone gets me to set up there sounds and 99% of people have the gain turned up to the max even though it sounds worse! And btw if you need a visual scope to hear things properly you are in the wrong department! All sounds should be tuned by ear not eye! You don't listen to how nice my paint shines do you!!

[@kingdonH3ITLA]

@@Yukanhayt-Mhenow everyone’s has different ears . If you want to go for a distorted piece of shit sound go for it 😂 but most of the boys like me want to have there gear in check for another 10 years without it failing too early. There’s a plethora of info online and KZbin that lets you know “tuning by ear” is the most ancient and unreliable way to tune. Music isn’t just sound, it’s made up of electrical signals to mechanic vibrations to make sound. So if you ignore the basic electrical principles (current, power, ohms and voltage) that come with music reproduction then don’t get into this car audio department homie 💯

This siren shit is cancereous - stealing sirens from schools and other public infrastructure, and keeping people awake at night with random bursts of noise. Surely the community could find a more positive way to express its musical creativity?

[@Peter_nzl97]

As a New Zealander, I can confirm this is part of the norm.

[@2l8mate59]

There were lots of guys doing it before Jonah started up. The set up some of these guys had was unreal. A guy I knew had a 88 Mitsi V3000 that was filled with 12 inch subs that took up the whole area of back seat from the floor to the roof. He worked at Boom sounds in Ponsonby in the 90s. The sound would vibrate your house. There was also a guy who had a shitbox of a car but the amount of sound that came out via his stereo system, was mind boggling. Think he had 18s in the back seat.

[@kazzdezinz5491]

Good times :) im pleased he was inspired because it was really unfair at the time… jonah won because he had the endless $$$ to pay experts to build his car. Others spent hours installing & fine tuning, should have been a separate category

[@cartertwowheels3358]

I can appreciate the DJ set up in the boot, playing through a good speaker set up would actually sound good. The problem with this scene is not only is it excessively loud, but it sounds terrible. I get it's a much cheaper way to get attention than a good stereo system, but the general public will never like it. The other problem is a lot of the sirens stolen from schools etc are going onto cars, as people are playing copycat. No hate too people waiting to modify their pride n joy... just understand 90% of people hate the noise sirens makes.

Can the DJ car broadcast though an fm transmitter or bluetooth so more cars nearby can play the same audio? 2:00 that would be the move

[@foreoscartautalagia4731]

Signal wouldn’t be that clean,

[@peterwallis4288]

​@foreoscartautalagia4731 it could be with a stronger transmitter. If someone can modify a transmitter to beef it up, or make a custom one. Probably some laws limiting that though, I guess.

What you tokos want to do is tune your music to 528hz it’s high frequency but doesn’t mean the music needs to be high pitch. Put some proper boat speakers on the back of you Ute. Damage the ears with your public announcement speakers.
