A sound system, well consider it to be a glorified stereo system. Basically
it is usually lots of base boxes lots of mid-range boxes and lots of high end
boxes ( what I mean by boxes is large speaker cabinets). All this is driven
by lots of amps to make it so loud that the base makes the hair on your neck
move to the beat. You really haven't experienced true dancehall until you've
been to a true yard dance like Stone Love at House of Leo (Kingston JA)
