There's a whole genre from then called "Miami Bass". See also Detroit/Chicago House. All full of 808 goodness.

In the Deep South, at least, go to Sonic drive-in any night of the week and there'd be low-rider pick-up trucks whose beds were filled with 20 inch subs.

Also, any number of cars with the back seats taken out to make room for stupid loud window-shaking bass.

As an aside - going back to the '60's and the evolution of bass - one of the reasons The Beatles stood out when they started was that their lows popped on transistor radios because Paul recorded his amp using a loudspeaker instead of a normal mic.
