Where was the 145 db measured? At the dash?

 

i believe so, i think he stuck the mic on my windshield and measured it from there.

 

 

thats interesting..... so your dead now right? because thats 5 decibals over ear drum rupture, and 15 below tearing a hole in your lung.

:slap:

 

Where did you get this information? From what I read, ear drum rupture is commonly between 150db and 160db. 145 db should be near that point, but not a certainty. Also, he might have been outside the car during the measurement or had protective ear gear on.

 

you obviously have not heard 145, on music.

 

first off this thread isn't for fighting second my system:

Car: 98 Honda Accord LX
HU: Pioneer 9800
Mid / High Amp: Rockford Fosgate 200.2
Low end amp: Rockford Fosgate 325.1
Front Stage: Rockford Fosgate 6.5" 4 way
Rear Stage: Rockford Fosgate 6x9 4 way
Subwoofer: 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch Stage 1
Cap: 2 farad Massive Audio

 

No fighting here. Just pointing out misinformation. Allowing incorrect information to be passed along isn't healthy for the community.

 

Taken from how stuff works
Any sound above 85 dB can cause hearing loss, and the loss is related both to the power of the sound as well as the length of exposure. You know that you are listening to an 85-dB sound if you have to raise your voice to be heard by somebody else. Eight hours of 90-dB sound can cause damage to your ears; any exposure to 140-dB sound causes immediate damage (and causes actual pain).

Taken from some website:
0-Threshold of hearing
10-rustle of leaves, a quiet whisper
20-average whisper
20-50-quiet conversation
40-45-hotel, theater between performances
50-65-loud conversation
65-70-traffic on a busy street
65-90-train
75-80-factory noise( light/medium work)
90-heavy traffic
90-100-thunder
110-140-jet aircraft at takeoff
130-threshold of pain
140-190-space rocket on takeoff
180- stops a heart

PS. We both had on protective gears and we were both outside the car, im not stupid when it comes to safety for my self or others

 

I was right! Do I win a cookie?
