[QUOTE="armani2, post: 369383, member: 552231"] Back In the Mini-Truck days, I had a zapco Sponsered Toyota Extra Cab with a campershell ( no rear window between the cab and the bed) I had 4 8's 4 12's a 2'18's 6 Mids and 4 tweets, 4 zapco Z-220's 2 Z-100's and 1-Z-50, That truck would get up to around 169db, after a month or so I never would listen to it above 120db, but I had a friend that love to crank the nob, everytime he would get in on the way to a show or whatever, full blast, I would use earplugs, That was when beat contests were about loudness for the most part and SQ was secondary, well to make a long story short we were on our way to san jose one day and I saw blood coming from his left ear, he had blown a eardrum at somewhere in the 165db area, he was exposed to it for maybe 30 mins straight, he lost hearing in that ear and is still deaf in his left ear, so be carfull people, Bumping down the hood is fun, but those nights you go home and you have that ringing in your ears, there is damage being done, so save those all out blasts for when the time is right and then keep it at a resonable level.......
