what sort of dB is your stereo pulling?
i saw the thread in the performance section about what power figures peoples cars are getting, so i thought id start one about stereos. so if you've measured your stereo, what did u get and what were you running?
ill start it off... today i measured mine and i got 125.1dB. im pretty happy coz ive only spent a little over $1000 on it. it consists of.... - a sony h/u with direct ipod control -120w jbl 5x7 in the front with crossovers and tweeters mounted at the top of the doors -180w Sony 6 inch speakers in the back doors -300w Sony 6x9 in a home made parcel shelf (blown and need replacing asap) -2x 12inch 750w JVC subs run by a Kenwood 1000w 2ch amp -2x Boss Audio 1000w 4ch amps running the all the speakers in the car (2 spare channels on one of them) |

**** if you got 125db with that i wonder what mine would pull.
- Pioneer HD - 6" Jaycar Splits w/ cross overs 50wrms (off amp) - 6" Pionner speakers 60wrms (off amp) - 4channel Pionner amp putting out 60wrms/channel - 4" Boss Audio speakers (off HD) rated as 75wrms but i know that's BS, probably more like 20/25wrms. - 12" Alpine Type R sub 500wrms in ported box - 1000w Alpine V-Power monoblock putting out 600wrms @ 2Ohm - Sony 4awg wiring kit Cost me about $1500 all up, note the sub and amp were $399rrp each so i didn't do too bad Installation was done by my mates.

My setup: Mainly for SQ, i'd rather a nice crisp sound over total bass, but I can have both if need be
JL Audio 120w 5x7" 2-way front speakers Pioneer 160w 6" 2-way speakers Pioneer DEH30MP 50Wx4 cd/mp3 player Aux Jack for Ipod/phone Connection12" 125wrms Kicker Sub in ported box Pioneer 4x75wrms 4ch Amp Pinoeer H/U remote 4guage Sony 4ch amp kit This Stereo would be good for about 125-130db, so enough to keep my ears intact Its pretty decent for a stereo on a budget, spent all up $900 including wiring Cheers Marc

most stereos standard come out at about 70-80dB...some are upto 90...its quiet easy to get over 100...
i ended up spending about $2000 on the one in my astina...i wanted to get it tested but never got around to doing it...i blew several subs...i prob would of hit the 120mark easily...
