I live in an apartment and next door neighbors play their music until 1am and at the same time upstairs neighbors stomps on the floor all day and they seem to only sleep from 1am to 6am.

I guess a good speaker with lots of bass at around 30%-50% volume. I currently have a tribit stormbox blast and ordered a JBL encore and my setup is to have the speaker touching the ceiling and the shared wall.

Let me know if either of those speakers will be best or if I should get a JBL 110 or 310.


Playing songs with a lot of thumping and bass like this for example

    Are you actually serious

    If you carry this out then expect escalation. Such things rarely end well.

    Buttkickers bolted to wall/floor/etc

    Then connect the Bluetooth to a good sub amp and EQ out everything but the dish-rattling frequencies.

    There’s some tracks or there that specifically emphasize “thump”, but personally I’d just do long frequency sweeps from about 200 down 20.

    You don’t want bluetooth speakers. You want PA speakers. Craigslist… cheapest piece of crap Peavey stuff you can find. I’d wager a couple hundred bucks total all in and you’ll not only make them pissed off, you can be deaf too!

    You want four 24inch DIY subwoofers, and attach a shit ton of buttkickers to the ceiling. Play random tones that move between 50hz and 1hz and crank the volume

    Not gonna dissuade you but also don’t feel in good conscience to help either.

    Anyhow, post and update with your setup at least we’ll get a laugh. Try not to get shot.

    Sounds like you live next to college kids. Good luck. Doubt they’ll notice or care about your music

    You’re probably making a mistake with this vendetta thing, but if you move forward, you’ll only need a snare drum.

    Plusses:

    It will be as loud as hell.

    As an incompetent drummer, you’ll be absolutely terrible, but still very much as loud as hell which makes your terrible playing even more insufferable.

    Snare drums are cheap at pawn shops and the like, but get a name brand in order to reliably sound as loud as hell as possible.

    There’s no power required to sound as absolutely loud as hell. Zero increase in your electric bill.

    Your forearm and hand muscles will become more developed over time.

    Negatives:

    To avoid ear damage, you’ll want good earplugs or well-sealed headphones.

    It’s a thirsty business, and you’ll need to stay hydrated if you want to play as loud as hell for as long as possible.

    Assorted blisters are a near-certainty.

    Will need a fund for replacement drumsticks - they can go at any time.

    Strong possibility that you might be the one to be evicted. (Irony)

    If they are younger than you, you may be able to play super high frequencies that they can hear and you can’t.
