treble damages

What you ask for in a lawsuit against an audio-equipment manufacturer due to your stereo's loudspeakers having a dull muffled "muddy" sound instead of producing crisp high-frequencies as they are supposed to.
I am amazed that anyone would bother suing for treble damages; since many audiophiles --- especially the younger ones --- complain that their systems don't produce enough BASS... usually the midrange and high notes come through just fine.

bass damages

Da opposite of "treble damages"; it refers to what a court awards you due to a loudspeaker-array's woofers sounding grindy, buzzy, and/or just plain crappy.
You can also be awarded "bass damages" if someone's excessively-loud/thumpy woofers cause hearing-loss and/or structural harm to your property.

Refers to da "3-to-1" ratio of where ya either sue da audio-equipment manufacturer for just da expenses dat you incurred due to their shoddy/faulty workmanship on their woofers dat were installed in your loudspeakers, as opposed to asking them to pay you three times your expenses if da tweeters either didn't work properly or had crappy sound.
Pro-grade speaker-builders like JBL and EV are always very careful how they build their rugged high-powered speakers designed for rock bands and outdoor concerts --- they use only da best materials and really "build 'em like a tank" to ensure reliability and quality sound, and therefore lessen da chance of their having to worry about "bass damages vs. treble damages" lawsuits from disgruntled musicians.
