Watts don't tell the whole story, because the volume output also depends greatly on the efficiency of your speakers.
To over-generalize, I would say that with speakers of average efficiency and decent power-handling capacity, 300 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohm speakers with all channels driven should be enough to annoy the neighbors.

Just because the system say 1000 watts, it does not mean you are using that much power. Look at the owners manual of your system and it will tell you how much power it uses. You'll never use that much power from the system at one time, unless you are a young kid that think playing your system to the max volume is cool. Just like those kids in a car you hear around the block with the bass so loud the whole neighborhood can hear.

i think the 300 watts x 8 speakers plus a 1000 watt rms amp should do as well. good luck finding 3,400 watts rms for under $4,000.
Try an pro-audio store for PA systems.

lol - i have an eight watt amp feeding fronts and another, slightly different, 8 watt amp' feeding rear and sub speakers....i got a letter from the local council about a week ago saying they were considering prosecuting me for noise pollution!
watts are all fine and dandy but for noise you wanna check out the sensitivity of your speakers and what their peak sound pressure level is in db - anything esle is just marketting!

Everyone else was just being ridiculous. Normal people can't afford a 3000 watt system. 500+ watts (in all) should do you just fine.

You can't be too rich, too thin, or have too many watts!
The Sunfire TGA 5400 should do it
400W x 5 into 8 ohms - 800W per channel into 4 ohms -1600W per channel into 2 ohms (time-limited basis)
Street price about $3000.

A 250 watt subwoofer should be good.

See if this will do it for you. (6 x 600 watts bridgeable amplifiers)

If you just want a lot of noise then a Bose system turned up will shake your house !
