yup, this was the modded GS posted a few months back by either carbongs or coco-bun.

i know it because the white with the white LDRs, and i believe that poster mentioned something about SPL or something.


sick either way though. Isn't 120 db equal to a jet engine or something?

now I'm not saying these aren't loud but 176 will not kill u, u might wanna be dead but you wont be.........some guns can reach 140-190db!
jet plane @ 100ft is 135 db and 125 isn't much higher than a jackhammer or ambulance!

wish I could explain... but that sight has to do with hearing. and the sounds depicted are of a different frequency... 176 coming out of a horn is different than 176 blowing out of a woofer at 65-70hz. the shake can tear your insides apart (if sustained long enough) which can LEAD to death if damage is bad enough.. (think shaken baby syndrome). if you read a lot on DB Dragging, they will tell you that in high spl vehicles wont allow anyone to sit in the passenger side do to that reason (yet alone the driver side)

if anyone goes back through my posts it shows the first box we put in the car.... the wheels are the original Davin revolution 3.0 $10,000 wheels as well. he and I had a stereo shop here in tampa but recently closed it due to the ****ed up economy

car does 159.2 or so with the windows closed and 160+ with the door open. Just wait until the upsets come @ Daytona this year

...never understood the point of destroying your car to win a contest. Ridiculous...I'm sure that will be pretty damn expensive to fix.
