 Gidday Sean....
 GR> system that could produce inaccess of 125db of sound, (sound???
 SD> 125db really isn't that much in car audio competition.  There's some
 SD> vehicles  here in the US that can hit 155db and higher.  I'm guessing
155db Ooh! I couldn't tolerate that level, especially in a car, I
think I'd rather stuff my head up the exhaust of a Boeing jet. |-}
I work with my own PA systems and I have put a 130db@1Khz@1 metre
ceiling on the amp(s) that I use. I would not like to think or accept
responsibility for someones hearing impairment. Personally I start to
feel pain at around 126-128db, especially if it is mainly mid to high
frequencies.
 SD> have nearly as much money  into it as he does (2 amps, 2 8" bass tubes,
 SD> 2 6.5" mids, 2 1" tweets.. about  $1500/US).
Ohh, just standard Honda civic specs huh?! ;-)
 GR> injurious to ones health. Not only to the ears but other vital organs.
 SD> 125db?  Ears, yes, if exposed to those levels for extended amounts of
 SD> times.  Organs?  I seriously doubt it.  I get one hell of a back
According to some expert or another on the same TV program, made a
point of the fact that internal organ damage could occur at the close
proximities. Personally I feel there may be some merit to this. Didn't
the Germans play around with low frequency horns during WW2,
apparently a frequency of around 7Hz has pretty nasty effects on the
body. Is this the bodies resonant frequency, maybe? If this were the
case then surely harmonics of this could be injurious?
 SD> massage when I drive  my vehicle (a pickup truck with the tubes behind
 SD> the seat) though :-). 
Nah, I prefer my massages to come attached to a sweet topless blonde.
;-)
 SD> leaks.  Probably partly because I've fixed all the rattles that I could
 SD> hear with the  bass (in a truck, especially one as old as mine [1980],
 SD> there's usually  lots).
Its gotta be a Chev, right?  ;-)
