Nick, tis an issue with me, also. I think it is possible to enjoy your surround sound without bothering the neighbors. Once it is loud enough to hear comfortably, it really serves no purpose to crank it up higher. I have a lot of hearing loss, but because of it, I am extra aware of the volume levels of my TV and radio. I try not to bother anyone else around me. I would much rather hear the birds and wind chimes than someone else's idea of music which is almost guaranteed to be different than mine (unless they are into 50's and 60's oldies). What is just as bad are the idiots that drive thru the campground with their radios blaring and the bass turned up so high that it vibrates everything in a two-block radius. By the time you can get management to them to tell them to turn it down they have already moved on. Just came thru to tick people off....because they can.

Of course it always helps to understand your rig's speaker system. One rainy evening we were playing a DVD movie & could hardly hear the sound. Kept cranking it up, but it was still faint. Finally realized we had our external speakers on instead of the inside ones! We very red facedly apologized to our neighbors the next morning, but they were all friends & laughed about it. Luckily we figured it out in 5-10 minutes so they didn't have to listen to the entire movie!!
