Given, say, 2 watts into such a speaker, that's 103dB@1m. Add 6dB for the other speaker and amplifier channel and it's really really really loud!! Like permanent hearing damage in less than the time for a CD to play through.
On an unrelated note...
Anyone else ever heard/felt their ears clipping before?
Depends what you mean on the ears.
Ive felt/heard what seemed like my ear drums running out of movement LOL.
At a rave a while back, the system was pushed hard for about 10 seconds before all the electrics went.
You could actualy feel the pressure of the air in your ears, like when your waiting for your ears to pop, but in time with the bass line.
Everyone in the club stopped, jaw on the floor in amazement.
It sort of blocked out all other noise, all you could hear/feel was the pressure waves of the bass line.
Very odd indeed, quite unpleasant.
Ive been to alot of loud gigs and aves and ive never experienced anything like it!
