[QUOTE="tommyk90, post: 5271089, member: 545293"] You cannot compare a jet engine to a car stereo. A jet engine produces 140 dB at a VERY high frequency which is much more damaging that 140 db in the 30-40 hz range that most car stereos peak at. So while yes, they both do 140 db, they are nowhere near in the same ballpark frequency wise. And I know plenty of guys (all ages) who have listened to stereos in excess of 160 dB and still hear perfectly fine. And yes that includes guys in their 50's and 60's who have been listening to 150+ db's for decades. Well, based loosely off the theory, it shouldn't matter what number of subs you start off with. So yes, if you start off with 2 subs then add two more, it should theoretically gain 3 dB. But as I stated before, why even look into this more since the theory has been proven false on numerous occasions. Why you have to be an ******* about it is beyond me. Perhaps you are looking to take another vacation? [/QUOTE]
