[QUOTE="McIntosh, post: 6147574, member: 605496"] Valid points, I suppose. Why would you want 140+dB? You certainly can't listen to it (from inside). You get into the 120's and you're looking at permanent hearing damage within a few minutes. To each their own, I guess. BTW my speakers I would classify as large bookshelves, not towers. They fit snugly across my tailgate in a full sized truck and sound quite good. Ported 3 ways in an actual enclosure. Do they move lots of air, nope. Just 8" woofs. They sound good and are louder than any mortal would ever need in their car. Do they have the punch my 100dB/w home speakers do with 300W of Mc power? Of course not. Do I use more than 5 watts at home very often? No. I have been known to utilize the powerguard lights from time to time. The dog, wife and guests vacate the room immediately. Its painfully loud. To the poster who said 200 watts could only tickle and couldn't possibly hurt, come visit me. You'll leave a deaf, better educated man. [/QUOTE]
