How many db's have you endured???

[shakinghorizons]

Just curious on what everyone on the thread has heard and sat in the "loudest" car they have heard and how many db's it was, if you don't know I still want to hear!!

I've only sat in around 152 in a focus hatch, kinda low but you got to start somewhere!!

Very true. Peolpe running over 130db dont usually sit in the car while its playing. When I started car audio 130-135 was high. I worry about guys easily hitting the 140's and 150's now. I hope you guys dont listen to music that loud. You will be deef in a few years if you do.
