Obviously the sound is nothing in comparison to hearing it in life but it's a good indication of what it can do to your car. Frankly, anything 150 and over is mighty scary to be around. Here's a vid of my mates Swift. A true Audio Freak in the SPL scene. He's planning to upgrade to something even more crazy (celestra amp and dd9515 subs) that should hopefully put him in the 160's and set a world record for his class.

Atm his setup is just 4X 15" Fusion Power Plant subs and 2X Jonah Lomu amps. Running a 151db with a custom homebuilt ported enclosure.

I've heard you need to buy a few tools (like a dB signal reader, don't know the official name :P) and setup an isolated testing environment. The interesting thing with noise levels is there can be incredible differences between 1 and 2 dB...

You need an SPL testing meter if you want to see how loud your stereo is; there's a cheap one selling for $270 on MEA, but it only measures up to 150dB.

151dB is huge; my stereo was silly loud and it only peaked just over 140; a whole league behind.

aww, thats to much, anyone in melb got a tester?

$10 to enter in an Autobarn Sound Off; there should be locations on the website. I can't imagine yours getting over 135dB anyway; you've just got the one 10" sub with 500RMS haven't you?
