Has anyone metered an 18" Q before?

Just looking to see what kind of numbers people have hit with a Q or more than one Q! Also post what amps you were powering when you hit those numbers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thanks!

2 18" q's. Sealed, facing up, in a trunk. (Horrible for SPL) ZX2500.1

To music, 30 second average... in the kick, termlab.

142

Not hella loud, but it wasn't meant to be a pressure system.

Anyone else ? I am just trying to understand like what 150 db sounds like.. Does 150 hurt horribly? what about 140? With my Q if I go full tilt or close to it my ears sort of tingle, it is hard to explain!

Thanks!

That's not even close to 150.

You KNOW 150 when you feel it. It's doesn't Kinda sorta do anything. Kinda sorta is below 140 IMO.
