181.3 has been recorded recently.

200db+ can be achieved only under water, except for the explosion of mount kraka. But back then they didn't have as tough and accurate of mics as we do now.

On August 27, the volcano entered the final cataclysmic stage of its eruption. Four enormous explosions took place at 5:30 a.m., 6:42 a.m., 8:20 a.m., and 10:02 a.m., the last of which was worst and loudest. Each was accompanied by very large tsunamis believed to have been over 30 meters (100 ft) high in places. A large area of the Sunda Strait and a number of places on the Sumatran coast were affected by pyroclastic flows from the volcano. The explosions were so violent that they were heard 2,200 miles (3,500 km) away in Australia and the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius, 4,800 km away; the sound of Krakatoa's destruction is believed to be the loudest sound in recorded history, reaching levels of 180 dBSPL 100 miles (160 km) away.[4] Ash was propelled to a height of 50 miles (80 km). The eruptions diminished rapidly after that point, and by the morning of August 28 Krakatoa was quiet.

you can probably do 200+ db under water with a $100 sub due to the properties of water. if you drive your car in the water ill bring you a mic.

get 4 of the same setups in one car, and no doubt it will be above 200.

Actually if it was even feasible then theoretically you could hit 192.5db with 4X not over 200.

lol reminds me when I drove my truck in one big *** puddle during flooding rain, and was pretty much to the top of my bumper, and my truck was huge. Pretty fun, didnt let go of the gas of course lol. I go inside for more beer and cop pulls up next to the truck and sits there for about 10 minutes. Ahhh the old drunk days
