You've got it backwards bud... humans hear on a log scale, that's why we use dB to measure sound pressure.

10 dB is 10 times as much power, in electronics (3 dB is twice as much), but it is not twice the volume. I think 140 or 150 dB is lethal, not positive on that.

I'm telling you guys, read the specs before you buy a hyped-up speaker system. Those Logitech ones ARE good quality, but you can build a better system from custom components for a lower price.

ehh not quite, but yes it is LOOOOUUUUUDD. around 140db is how loud a gunshot is, about the same range for a jet engine at takeoff.

you can get car subwoofers that put out 140 db easy. they have db competitons for cars and some of those guys build systems that go up to like 160-170db i think. i suppose if you stood right next to it it wouldnt feel to pleasant, and if you stick your head right in one of those trunks you might shake your brain to goo, but it aint gonna kill you right away

and theres my useless fact contribution for the day.


and oh yeah i have the Cambridge soundworks FPS 2000 Digital...old but nice my brother and my firend has the CS 510d's and those totally embarrass mine soooooooooo loud, sooo clear
