Rep Power: 0 120's is about right with 2 kicker 10's and a 150 watt amp...
and is it one of those radio shack meters? because those things are HORRIBLY inaccurate
its really not that hard to do 120's or 130's... 140's is where it starts getting hard to do

140 db's of a human voice could very possibly give you permanent hearing damage and/or deafness with only very very short periods of time being played
140 db's of bass on teh other hand might damage your ears some, but only after long term exposure

Rep Power: 0 it all depends on each human being... im sure 150's could kill someone, most likely theyd have to be 103 and have a bad heart, but some people could handle up to low 160's
regardless, itll hurt
as to exact decibel level for deaths, i have NO clue, but i do know the military is using high levels of low frequency as a weapon these days, although im not at liberty to disclose what =) (i got a friend that builds weapons for the department of defense, so hes told me a fw things)

hahaha............i was hittin consistent 151 db's in my other car. I had (1) 15" RFL in a wall with a xtant 1001 and 2 deep cycle batteries.
That **** was loud......when i first installed it, it made me throw up 2 times cuz it was so much pressure, i couldn't imagine what 160 would feel like.
