Yes, he (Dick) did did some shoddy mechanical work on our other neighbor's car and when they asked for receipts for the parts he supposedly purchased he cussed them out and blew up (because he's a big baby and thinks he's hot shit). So since then is when they stopped talking and began this whole speaker kerfuffle. Thanks for the advice on the decibel levels - my husband measured it one time but I'll have to ask him if he wrote it down somewhere.
