the volume from their half stacks is probably blowing their knees apart.Meanwhile,up at ear level, I will bet they are oblivious to how loud THEY are.
Rock band volume wars 101. My guy's amps are set on stun and they complain about my snare all the time. The recordings sound fine. I'm even buried a bit.
This. If they put their cabinets up off the floor at ear level, they will be able to hear themselves better, and you wont be obliged to play so loud to overcome them blasting you out. Guitar cabinets sound better off the floor anyhow.
Then if it is too loud the earplugs will work as they are supposed to, and they will still be able to hear themselves. With the cabinets on the floor, their sound is below their ears. This is like wearing earphones around your waist.
This is totally a matter of opinion and really not even worth me replying, but I've been a gigging guitar player for MANY years and the cabinet always sounds better ON the floor to me.
But yeah, just a personal preference I guess. Not trying to correct you or anything like that.
We did tests on this when I was playing in a band years ago. We built boxes for the cabinets to sit on and the low end was increased significantly with the box. Just like with drums, the floor robs sound. But like you said, its preference, and band situation too. I played in a metal band where the low end was important.

I just remembered a trick that Benny Greb posted on yt. I added some cotton balls thru the breather hole in the snare. That way they "rest" on the resonant head. I have 6 in there for now and it quiet it down quiet a bit. Now my snare is about as loud as my toms (used to be Way louder ). I'll try at our next gig.
