If you are going to live in apts for a while what your neighbors are hearing is mostly bass. Get a nice pair of monitor speakers and stands to use and you will be able to listen louder without bothering neighbors......learn to live without bass while in apts.

Also seriously consider getting good headphones and amp for late night/early morning listening.....you will get amazing sound for $1,000 or less total.

Here is what i did when i lived in an apartment.
Go to each one of yer neighbors, tell them you recieved a complaint from somone and tell them you feel you should apologize to your neightbors. Ask them if there is anything specific that is causing the problem, Bass, Sheer Volume, Highs, etc, etc.
Then give them your number, tell them you really enjoy listening to music and that if you ever get too loud to have them call you directly and assure them you will turn it down.

Next time, whoever was complaining will call you directly and you will know who the whiney bastard is who reported you. Go out, slash thier tires, Key thier car, and piss in the gass tank! Then kick down thier door, smack them around thier apartment with a club, and tell them that is a warning for interrupting your music, and next time they complain to anybody you will come back and finish the job, after all, you know where they live.

Presto! No more troubles with neighbors complaining about sound! It is a heck of a lot cheaper than soundproffing yer apartment! :) You can use the money saved to buy a new subwoofer!

-Disclaimer, Slappy is the worst person you could ever take advice from-

Along slappy's lines: go to a neighber after playing loud and ask if they heard the annoying bass. As bass in non-directional it's hard to disginguish exactly where it's coming from. This way as word starts to spread, you were one of the early complainers and will be off the hook unitl some nosey rosey figures it out. Might buy you sometime.

Somewhere at this very moment.....all across America! There are probably at LEAST 25... or maybe even twenty-SEVEN audio enthusiasts out there....slashing tires!!! keying Cars!!!
Pissin' in GASTANKS!!!!!!
