How loud's too loud?

You can have him questioned by the police for harassment, even if he didn't actually touch you. Just threatening someone like that is considered a violation of your rights. In the same token, 98 db is the limit, so if your system goes above that, maybe figure out where 98db is, and just stick to that as the maximum, unless you are out on an empty road.
Now, as far as the other guy goes, I would have walked up to him and broken something on his car because I have anger issues, but you should have told him off at least. And that isn't cool at all, threatening someone for a loud stereo. He could have just reported you and have been done. Happened to me once, when I got caught racing someone, and they said I was clocked at 105 mph (in a 55 zone). The cop who clocked me wasn't allowed to drive to where I was (different counties, I think), so I was released with a warning to NEVER speed again, or they would take my car and my liscense.
Anyways, just watch out for that other guy, and if you see him again, take his plates off or something, then call the cops anonymously and reprt his car and location. Payback is a (female dog).
