Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 2036 Registered: Mar-04 | possible...yes hard to actually do...YES if he really does 154.4 legal w/ that setup, that car would be in the top-10 of the loudest dbDrag street-C cars on earth. (if you meters in the legal position w/ the TL) |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 2258 Registered: Oct-05 | just curious. how long can a person stand to listen to something at around 145db? |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 2037 Registered: Mar-04 | depends on the person, but the average joe will prolly want to turn it down in less than a minute. (or they will just jump out of the car and run) i have a buddy that was used to his 2 sealed L7 12's in a single cab truck....he went to a comp with me awhile back. he played mic monkey for my while i did a test and tune w/ a shops Termlab...i was doing back to back 147-148db burps @48hz for about 5minutes. after that he look at me and said, "man...i need a break" and would not get back in the truck for like a hour. he is 1 of only 3 people in my hometown that has ever even heard my system full tilt...most people only get to hear it w/ my daily port in, and they think it is insane...daily it only does ~140db though. (at 28hz  ) |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 2259 Registered: Oct-05 | marshall what db do you think your system is at when you are just casually listening at high volume? would 110-115db be considered loud to be listening to for like 20-30 minutes? |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 10949 Registered: Dec-03 | when my Festiva would get into the 140s, most people didn't want to be in the car at all.. let alone for a full minute. and that was with a SQ system, not a hearing fatiguing SPL setup. |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 2272 Registered: Oct-05 | i wish i could hear the system in that car. btw how did you do on the contest. too bad they wouldn't let me vote more than once. lol |

Silver Member Username: FrkkevinDenton, Texas US Post Number: 176 Registered: Nov-05 | My daily driver is doing 145.6 tuned for 28hz.. I've yet to come across someone who can sit in my truck the whole way and listen to it that loud. Hell I can't even do that. |

Bronze Member Username: Scott_debakerPittsburgh, P.A. U.S.A. Post Number: 19 Registered: Feb-06 | j/w how many dbs would it start makin ur ears hurt @ about 43hz |
|
Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 10967 Registered: Dec-03 | I don't care to find out. If I play a system louder than about 135dB I use noise cancelling headphones for protecting my ears. I value my hearing. |
