You think your systems loud?

Try the Navys Low Frequency Active Sonar. It sends out pulses of 100-1000 Hz at a sourse level of 240 dB. That's over 440 times louder than any stereo has yet to reach.

They said that 12yrs ago about 150-160db in car and look were we are today....177db, so I imagine that the 180 mark will be falling very soon. So on to infinity and beyond...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Actually that wall is a hair above 190 where you are going to start really compressing atmosphere and causing issues. Wonder what that would feel like... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Wouldn't that cause some sort of heart problem? Even standin 10 feet from it? haha.. that'd be hella loud. Couldn't image 190 dbs. Wouldn't a car/van whatever just like fall apart? Haha.... That'd be sweet to see. A car fall apart due to high db levels.

yes when u start to get in those kind DBL levels..the pressure from it will blow your ear drums at first...After each time it hits taking all the air out of your lungs.Then pro-longed exposure will start to cause your heart to beat at the bass of the subs....So it wouldnt take too long before it would eventually KILL YOU! I've stood near a van that could hit 173.2..I was about 15 feet away with special triple layered earphones...When it would hit..I could feel the force of the bass taking the air out of my lungs slightly..if u arent expecting that..IT can scare the ever living **** OUT OF YOU!!!! We sat a 20oz bottle of SOLIDLY forzen ice in the center of all the 24 subs..When it hit the second time..it busted the ice out like it wasnt even there! the guy said his son sat on his rrof with a 5-gallon bucket and bet some friends that with the van inside his shop about 15-20 years away..and let it hit LOw-Bass it could blow the water out of the bucket atleast 6-inches..Sure enough he made $100 cause the water came out of the bucket a good 7 inches! It was pretty ****ing amazing I thought!!
