dB Levels

Just wondering what DB Levels your sounds are putting out. I had mine measured and it said around 120dB (well just over).

Just chuck a vote in, even if it is a rough estimate.

Lol, yeah probably the same here. Maybe even more. But Im talking bout sounds ;). You need to spend more to get higher dB Levels with stereo gear.

I'd be willing to say that most people that have gone to the extend of putting a decent stereo in will all be in the 120-150dB range

Its physically impossible to get more than 196dB sound pressure at sea level. Thats the physical maximum that air as a medium can support :)

When you're talking normal car stereos, almost everyone who has a stereo with a sub will be able to get 110dB no worries. Most people can manage 120dB. Quite a few can manage 130dB. A small group can manage 140dB. Only a handful of people can manage 150dB. Almost noone can manage 160dB :)

Opps, I was having a bad day. Was a long shift at work. Thought screamer pipe meant exhaust for a min :?

134.1 with a 10" sub in a stupidly large untuned box. 137 should be managable with one 10 :D
