[QUOTE="AVX Mike, post: 7719031, member: 571805"] Yes, it is very hard to gain at a certain level. You start to fight yourself. As pressure on the front of the cone increases (spl number) it is that much harder to move the cone any farther. At a certain point you need to pay very close attention to the Bl of your woofers to make sure they can push against the pressure created in front of them. That's why Scott Owens topped out at 180 db with the pioneers. Not enough strength to fight the pressure. I see you are also from WI. Stop by our shop in Brookfield if you're ever down this way. I used to compete a lot a few years ago, if you're looking to get into the scene or get louder I can help you out. [/QUOTE]
