i've always wondered this about competitions...stupid question probably

i have never competed in my life and don't plan on it, but i'm curious about one thing. obviously, the idea is to get the highest score. so, basically, when you're competing, do you max out your head unit's volume control? say the volume goes up to 100, would you put it up as high as you can without blowing, or for burps and whatnot do you just max that sucker out? i'm curious and don't know if you do it at daily listening levels, or you max it out, or you go at a happy medium. because obviously the more you turn the volume knob on your head unit, the louder it gets. im assuming you just do it till you hear distortion... but who knows. i was burping my system today with some sine sweeps and had my volume at 47 out of 60, and was scared to turn it louder. that **** single rlp shook my windshield wipers at like 30hz... it was insane. but yeah, silly question... just curious.
